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 associationÂs securities. Further, OTSÂs 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.
