OTS collects information for
disclosure in securities offerings by savings associations related
directly to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requirements
for offering of information to potential securities
purchasers.
The OTS is citing an increase
in the burden due to an increase in the response time for the S-1
Form. The Securities Offering regulation provides necessary
information, including financial disclosure, to persons to make an
informed investment decision regarding a possible purchase or sale
of a savings associations securities. Further, OTSs regulation
sets standards for disclosure to reduce the risk of a fraudulent
securities offering that could adversely affect the public or the
safety and soundness of a savings association.
