The information collections apply to mutual holding companies and to their subsidiaries. The collections are necessary to (1) fulfill statutory requirements; and (2) facilitate review of transactions presenting risks.
OTS is citing a reduction in the burden due to a reduction in the number respondents.
The OTS analyzes the submitted information to determine whether the applicant meets the statutory and regulatory criteria to form a mutual holding company and/or perform minority stock issuances. Information provided in the notice or application is essential if the OTS is to fulfill its mandate to prevent insider abuse and unsafe and unsound practices by mutual holding companies and their subsidiaries. Minority issuances are not feasible without an application process that includes the review of such information.
