Abstract: The Comptroller's Licensing Manual (Manual) explains the OCC's policies and procedures for the formation of a new national bank or Federal savings association, entry into the banking system by other institutions, and corporate expansion and structural changes by existing national banks and Federal savings associations. This ICR is being filed in connection with an OCC issued proposal that would amend its rules related to policies and procedures to simplify licensing requirements for corporate activities and transactions involving national banks and Federal savings associations that have less than $30 billion in total assets and satisfy certain conditions. The proposed rule is intended to reduce burden on these institutions. In particular, the proposed rule would create a new definition of “covered community bank or covered community savings association” and amend various provisions of 12 CFR part 5 to grant expedited or reduced filing procedures already present in the regulations to covered community banks and covered community savings associations. The proposed rule would not relax the standards used to determine whether an application would be approved but would simply relax the standard for expedited approval.
