These information collections are
contained in 12 CFR Part 563b, which states that a mutual
association must obtain written approval by OTS prior to converting
to a stock association, and sets forth the guidelines for obtaining
such approval.
OTS is citing an increase in
the burden due to an increase in the number of respondents. The OTS
staff makes an in-depth study of all information furnished in the
application in order to determine the safety and soundness of the
proposed stock conversion. The purpose of the information
collection is to provide OTS with the information necessary to
determine if the proposed transaction may be approved. If the
information required were not collected, OTS would not be able to
properly evaluate whether the proposed transaction was acceptable.
The information collection allows OTS to evaluate the merits of the
proposed conversion plan and application in light of applicable
statutory and regulatory criteria.
