In 2007, in order to assess its
efforts to provide supervisory support, technical assistance,
education, and outreach to its Minority Owned National Banks
(MONBs), the OCC requested feedback on the effectiveness of its
efforts at that time and suggestions for enhancing its supervisory
efforts and assistance going forward. The OCC used the information
it obtained to assess both the needs of the MONBs and the OCC's
current efforts to meet those needs, and to focus and enhance its
MONB supervisory, technical assistance, education, and outreach.
The OCC conducted a follow up survey in 2009 and compared its 2007
baseline data to measure agency performance in the area of MONB
support.
