12 CFR Part 11 requires registered national banks to file SEC forms concerning their securities transactions with the OCC. The OCC needs the information to ensure compliance with Federal law. Investors, depositors, and the public use the information to make informed investment decisions.
The increase in burden is due to the integration of the OTS with the OCC. The additional respondents are entities formerly regulated by the OTS.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is required by statute to collect, through regulation, from any firm that is required to register its stock with the SEC certain information and documents. 15 U.S.C. 78m(a)(1). Federal law also requires the OCC to apply similar regulations to any national bank similarly required to be registered (those with a class of equity securities held by 500 or more shareholders). 15 U.S.C. 78l(i). Further, current and potential shareholders, depositors, and members of the public need the information in order to make informed investment and deposit decisions.
