Abstract: Part 22 requires notifications, disclosures, and recordkeeping in connection with certain loans located in flood hazard ares. Borrowers use the information to make valid purchase decisions. The OCC uses the records to verify compliance. In addition to providing revised estimates based upon comments received, OCC is adjusting its estimates to reflect thrift institutions. On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, P.L. 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010) (Dodd-Frank Act) was enacted. As part of the comprehensive package of financial regulatory reform measures enacted, Title III of the Dodd-Frank Act transfers the powers, authorities, rights and duties of the Office of Thrift Supervision to other banking agencies, including the OCC, on the "transfer date." The transfer date is July 21, 2011. The Dodd-Frank Act also abolishes the OTS ninety days after the transfer date. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, OCC is taking burden for the thrift institutions it now regulates.
