Abstract: The information collection provides the OCC with information needed to properly evaluate the effectiveness of its communications products. The OCC uses the information to identify problems and improve its service to national banks. The collection focuses on a communications product, issuances known as bank supervision policy guidance. 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.
