The FDIC, OCC, and FRB have substantially similar regulations.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: 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.
