FACTBOX: Major financial regulation initiatives

(Reuters) - With Congress returning from its August recess on Tuesday, Democrats and the Obama administration will resume trying to advance a broad plan to tighten regulation of banks and capital markets.

The effort is bogged down in Congress amid other issues, including healthcare reform, and with leadership of a key Senate committee in question.

Here is a summary of the overall financial regulation plan's components. Companies whose businesses could be at risk under the plan are listed under "political risk exposure."

EXECUTIVE PAY:

The House has approved a bill to give shareholders in public corporations annual, nonbinding votes on executive pay, while requiring more independence for compensation committees.

It would also require separate shareholder votes on golden parachutes and empower regulators to ban pay structures that encourage "inappropriate risks by financial institutions."

The bill goes next to the Senate, where its outlook is uncertain. President Barack Obama is pleased with the House bill, a White House spokesman said, although Obama has proposed a more limited set of executive pay curbs.

OTC DERIVATIVES:

Many over-the-counter derivatives would be moved onto public exchanges or go through clearinghouses, under an agreement in principle worked out between key House lawmakers.

The Obama administration wants clearing of standardized OTC derivatives and would move them, as much as possible, onto regulated exchanges, while reporting would be required for transactions in "customized" derivatives.

The administration says regulations should apply to traders and markets so nothing escapes coverage. It is working on how to divide SEC and CFTC jurisdiction over derivatives.

Political risk exposure: JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), Bank of America Corp (BAC.N), Citigroup (C.N), Goldman Sachs (GS.N), CME Group Inc (CME.O), IntercontinentalExchange (ICE.N).
