If confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Woodall will fill a final spot on the Financial Stability Oversight Council, a body created by Congress as part of the Dodd-Frank financial law. The 15-member FSOC, chaired by the Treasury Department, is supposed to help prevent another financial crisis by identifying risks to the financial markets.

Lawmakers and the insurance industry have criticized the FSOC for lacking adequate insurance expertise as it makes decisions that could affect the industry. The FSOC is in the process of determining which nonbank financial firms pose a "systemic" risk to financial markets and should be subject to heightened regulatory and capital requirements.


The FSOC has two nonvoting members with insurance expertise: John Huff, the Missouri insurance director, and Mike McRaith, who heads a newly created Federal Insurance Office. Mr. Woodall will be the 10th voting member of the council, along with the heads of the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve and other regulatory agencies.

The intent to nominate Mr. Woodall comes as the FSOC finalizes additional guidance it plans to give in late July on the criteria that will be used to determine which financial firms are so large and interconnected that their failure poses risk to the financial system. The FSOC is not expected to actually designate any firms as "systemic" until the first quarter of 2012 at the earliest.
