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.
