Savings associations use the reports
and records that the regulations require for internal management
control purposes and examiners use them to determine whether
savings associations are being operated safely, soundly, and in
compliance with regulations. An absence of the reporting and record
keeping requirements would not allow for prudent internal controls
or for examiners to determine the accurate performance and
condition of savings associations.
OTS is citing a burden
reduction due to a reduction in the number of respondents. This
information collection relates to reports and records required by
the following regulations: 12 CFR 552.11 (books and records,
federal stock associations), 12 CFR 545.96(c) (agency business
records, federal stock associations), 12 CFR 544.8 (communications
between members of a federal mutual savings association), 12 CFR
562.1 (regulatory reporting requirements, each savings association
and its affiliates), 12 CFR 563.1 (chartering documents, each
savings association), 12 CFR 563.47(e) (pension plans, each savings
association or service corporation), 12 CFR 572.6(b) (standard
flood hazard determination form, each savings association), 12 CFR
562.4 (audit of savings association, savings and loan holding
company, or affiliate), 12 CFR 563.76(c) (offers and sales of
securities of a savings association or its affiliates in any office
of the savings association), 12 CFR 584.1(f) (books and records of
each savings and loan holding company), 12 CFR part 226 (Regulation
Z, truth in lending), 12 CFR part 202 (Regulation B, Equal Credit
Opportunity Act), 12 CFR part 205 (Regulation E, electronic fund
transfers), and 12 CFR part 213 (Regulation M, consumer
