Savings associations are required to produce certain reports and records, which establish prudent management controls. This allows examiners to determine whether savings associations are being operated safely, soundly, and in compliance with regulations.
This ICR is being submitted in connection with a final rule that removes one of the regulations covered by this information collection (12 CFR 162.1 and 162.4). The requirements being removed are duplicative of other existing requirements.
The following requirements remain in this collection:
• 12 CFR 152.11 (books and records, Federal stock associations);
• 12 CFR 145.96(c) (agency business records, Federal stock associations);
• 12 CFR 144.8 (communications between members of a Federal mutual savings association);
• 12 CFR 163.1 (chartering documents, each Federal savings association);
• 12 CFR 163.47(e) (pension plans, each Federal savings association or service corporation);
• 12 CFR 172.6(b) (standard flood hazard determination form, each Federal savings association);
• 12 CFR 162.4 (audit of Federal savings association, savings and loan holding company, or affiliate); and
• 12 CFR 163.76(c) (offers and sales of securities of a Federal savings association or its affiliates in any office of the savings association).
The OCC submitted the information collection requirements imposed by the final rule to OMB at the proposed rule stage, 81 FR 13607 (March 14, 2016). OMB filed a comment, instructing the OCC to examine public comment in response to the proposed rule and include in the supporting statement of the next submission, to be submitted to OMB at the final rule stage, a description of how the OCC has responded to any public comments on the collection, including comments on maximizing the practical utility of the collection and minimizing the burden. The OCC received no comments regarding the information collection and has resubmitted it to OMB for review in connection with the final rule.
The decrease in burden is due to the removal of duplicative requirements.
