Examination Questionnaires provide the
OCC with information needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the
examination process and agency communications. The OCC uses the
information to identify problems or trends that may impair
examination effectiveness and to improve its service to national
banks. On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act, P.L. 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010)
(Dodd-Frank Act) was enacted. As part of the comprehensive package
of financial regulatory reform measures enacted, Title III of the
Dodd-Frank Act transfers the powers, authorities, rights and duties
of the Office of Thrift Supervision to other banking agencies,
including the OCC, on the "transfer date." The transfer date is
July 21, 2011. The Dodd-Frank Act also abolishes the OTS ninety
days after the transfer date. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act,
OCC is making a non-substantive change to this collection of
information to include the thrift institutions it now
regulates.
The increase in burden is due
to the integration of the OTS with the OCC pursuant to the
Dodd-Frank Act. The additional respondents are entities formerly
regulated by the OTS.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
