NEW YORK--()--Link to Fitch Ratings' Report: U.S. Residential Mortgage Re-REMIC Criteria
http://www.fitchratings.com/creditdesk/reports/report_frame.cfm?rpt_id=715703

Fitch Ratings has published an updated U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) sector specific criteria report that outlines the general framework of Fitch's analytical approach for assessing and assigning ratings to RMBS securities that are backed by cash flows from existing real estate mortgage investment conduit securities (REMICs), commonly referred to as a Re-REMIC. This report replaces the previously published criteria report of the same name, 'U.S. Residential Mortgage Re-REMIC Criteria,' dated Aug. 10, 2012.

There have been no material changes from the prior report. Existing ratings will continue to be reviewed as part of the ongoing performance analytics process, consistent with 'U.S. RMBS Surveillance Criteria,' dated Oct. 11, 2012.

This criteria report is available on the Fitch Ratings web site at 'www.fitchratings.com' or by clicking on the link above.
