The OCC collects this information to
perform its responsibilities relating to offerings of securities by
providing the public with facts about the condition of a bank, the
reasons for raising new capital, and the terms of securities
offerings. The public uses the information to make informed
decisions on whether securities are an appropriate
investment.
The increase in burden is due
to the integration of the OTS with the OCC. The additional
respondents are entities formerly regulated by the OTS. The public
uses this information to make an informed decision on whether the
securities are an appropriate investment. The OCC uses the
information to determine compliance with the applicable
requirements of Part 16 and Part 167 to protect the investing
public.
