A public notice also may be required where a conversion notice is accompanied by a second notice that requires a publication notice under 12 CFR 5.8. In this instance, a public notice describing the entire transaction may be necessary to ensure the public has a full understanding of the entire transaction.

If a notice is required, the applicant must publish notice of the proposed merger or consolidation in a newspaper of general circulation in the community or communities in which the applicant proposes to engage in business. The OCC will provide specific requirements for the notice of publication.

The request must discuss the justification for the requested treatment. The applicant's reasons for requesting confidentiality should specifically demonstrate the harm (for example, loss of competitive position, invasion of privacy) that would result from public release of information (5 USC 552 or relevant state law).
