National banks file Call Reports pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 161 and other statutes. The data are used to evaluate and monitor the financial condition and earnings performance of individual banks as well as the entire banking industry.
The proposed changes would require savings associations to cease filing the TFR and commence filing the Call Report beginning with the March 2012 report date.
The increase in burden is due to the integration of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) into the OCC on July 21, 2011 pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act. As of July 21, 2011, all federal savings associations will no longer be regulated by the OTS and will be regulated by the OCC.
