Savings associations are required to produce certain reports and records, which establish prudent management controls. This allows examiners to determine whether savings associations are being operated safely, soundly, and in compliance with regulations.
This ICR is being submitted in connection with a notice of proposed rulemaking that proposes to remove one of the regulations covered by this information collection (12 CFR 162.1 and 162.4). The requirements being removed are duplicative of other existing requirements.
