Notice for Charter and Bylaw Amendment


General Information and Instructions


Preparation and Use


This notice is used to effect a charter or a bylaw amendment under 12 CFR 5.21(f), 12 CFR 5.21(j), 12 CFR 5.22(f), or 12 CFR 5.22(j) for a federal savings association (FSA) or covered savings association (CSA).


This form is required for an FSA or CSA that adopts the standard form of charter or any of the optional charter amendments without change. The charter or charter amendment(s) shall be effective and deemed approved at the time of adoption if the amendment is filed with the appropriate OCC licensing office within 30 days after adoption, and the FSA or CSA follows the requirements of its charter and applicable law in adopting such charter or amendments.


This form is also required for an FSA or CSA that adopts or amends bylaws to make a corporate governance election under 12 CFR 5.21(j)(3)(ii) (for mutual FSAs) or 12 CFR 5.22(j)(2)(ii) (for stock FSAs). The FSA or CSA must submit this notice with a copy of the bylaws to the OCC within 30 days after adoption.


NOTE: No filing is required if an FSA proposes to adopt or amend a bylaw provision to conform, without change, to the model or optional bylaws. Bylaw amendments that do not require a filing shall be effective at the time of adoption, provided the FSA follows the requirements of its charter and bylaws in adopting such an amendment.
