Abstract:  The Comptroller's Licensing Manual
explains the OCC's policies and procedures for the formation of a
new national bank, entry into the national banking system by other
institutions, and corporate expansion and structural changes by
existing national banks. The OCC currently provides its national
banks with two methods for application and notice submissions.
Banks can submit either electronic applications and notices using
e-Corp, an internet based program, or they can submit paper
applications and notices. Presently, just a few applications and
notices are available for electronic submission. The OCC proposes
to replace the existing electronic and hard-copy process with a new
web-based program currently in development. The program is an
integrated, self service, data entry web-based portal named the
Central Applications Tracking System (CATS). CATS will serve as the
primary source for banks to create, edit and submit their filings
and all associated attachments.
