Bank Protection Act and OTS
implementing regulations require savings associations to establish
security devices and procedures. Written security programs allow
OTS to evaluate whether savings associations have adopted policies
and procedures to ensure compliance with laws and regulations. The
FDIC, OCC, and FRB have substantially similar regulations.
OTS is citing a reduction in
the burden due to a reduction in the number of respondents. The
requirement that savings associations establish a written security
program is necessitated by the Bank Protection Act (12 U.S.C.
1881-1884), which requires the Federal supervisory agencies to
promulgate rules establishing minimum standards with which each
financial institution must comply with respect to the installation,
maintenance, and operation of security devices and procedures to
discourage robberies, burglaries, and larcenies, and to assist in
the identification and apprehension of persons who commit such
acts.
