Bank Protection Act and OTS implementing regulations require savings associations to establish security devices and procedures. Written security programs allow OTS to evaluate whether savings associations have adopted policies and procedures to ensure compliance with laws and regulations. The FDIC, OCC, and FRB have substantially similar regulations.
OTS is citing a reduction in the burden due to a reduction in the number of respondents.
The requirement that savings associations establish a written security program is necessitated by the Bank Protection Act (12 U.S.C. 1881-1884), which requires the Federal supervisory agencies to promulgate rules establishing minimum standards with which each financial institution must comply with respect to the installation, maintenance, and operation of security devices and procedures to discourage robberies, burglaries, and larcenies, and to assist in the identification and apprehension of persons who commit such acts.
