12 CFR Part 11 requires registered
national banks to file SEC forms concerning their securities
transactions with the OCC. The OCC needs the information to ensure
compliance with Federal law. Investors, depositors, and the public
use the information to make informed investment decisions.
The increase in burden is due
to the integration of the OTS with the OCC. The additional
respondents are entities formerly regulated by the OTS. The
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is required by statute to
collect, through regulation, from any firm that is required to
register its stock with the SEC certain information and documents.
15 U.S.C. 78m(a)(1). Federal law also requires the OCC to apply
similar regulations to any national bank similarly required to be
registered (those with a class of equity securities held by 500 or
more shareholders). 15 U.S.C. 78l(i). Further, current and
potential shareholders, depositors, and members of the public need
the information in order to make informed investment and deposit
decisions.
