Abstract: Proposed 12 CFR Sec. 545.93(a) and 545.95(a) would require Federally-chartered institutions proposing to establish or change the location of a branch office to file an application or notice with OTS, unless one of the exceptions under Sec. 545.93(b) applies. OTS analyzes each branch application or notice to ensure that there are no supervisory objections and that it meets all regulatory requirements.
