The MHC Forms consist of information that must be filed in connection with certain proposals involving savings and loan holding companies that are organized in mutual form (MHCs), including the reorganization of a savings association into MHC form, stock issuances of holding company subsidiaries of MHCs, and conversions of MHCs to stock form. The Board requires the submission of these filings to allow the Board to fulfill its obligations to review such transactions under section 10(o) of the Home Ownersâ Loan Act (HOLA), as amended (12 U.S.C. § 1467a(o)) and the Boardâs Regulation MM âMutual Holding Companies (12 CFR 239). The Board uses the information submitted by an applicant or notificant to evaluate these transactions with respect to the relevant statutory and regulatory factors.
The estimated total annual burden for these applications is 2,749 hours, and would decrease to 491 hours with the adopted revisions. The average estimated hours per response for the FR MM-10(o)-1 (formerly the Form 1522) would decrease from 400 hours to 60 hours, the FR MM-10(o)-2 (formerly the Form 1523) would decrease from 350 hours to 30 hours, the FR MM-AC (formerly the Form 1680) would decrease from 299 hours to 60 hours, the FR MM-PS (formerly the Form 1681) would remain unchanged at 50 hours, the FR MM-OC (formerly the Form 1682) would decrease from 150 hours to 50 hours, and the FR MM-OF (formerly the Form 1683) would remain unchanged at 1 hour.
The Application for Conversion (Form 1680), Proxy Statement (Form 1681), Offering Circular (Form 1682), and Order Form (Form 1683) currently form a family of information collections under OMB No. 7100-0335. This proposal would add these forms to the family of information collections under OMB No. 7100-0340.
