Abstract: The information collections in parts 16 and 197 allow the OCC to perform its responsibilities relating to offerings of securities by providing the public with facts about the condition of a bank, the reasons for raising new capital, and the terms of securities offerings. The public uses the information to make informed decisions on whether securities are an appropriate investment. Under the final rule, part 197 is removed and Federal savings associations will follow part 16. In addition, § 16.5 is amended to provide additional exemptions for private placements and sales of certain fractional interests. The periodic reports on sales of securities registered under part 197 is not be carried over to part 16. The filing requirement in § 197.8 are removed and Federal savings associations with total assets exceeding $10,000,000 and a class of equity security (other than exempted security) held of record by 2,000 or more persons are subject to Exchange Act periodic and current reporting requirements. Section 16.17 reduces from four to one the number of copies that must be submitted of all registration statements, offering documents, amendments, notices, or other documents and from four to two the number of copies of amendments that must be submitted. In addition, the final rule permits these documents to be signed electronically using the signature provision in SEC Rule 402. The OCC submitted the information collection requirements imposed by the final rule to OMB at the proposed rule stage, 81 FR 13607 (March 14, 2016). OMB filed a comment, instructing the OCC to examine public comment in response to the proposed rule and include in the supporting statement of the next submission, to be submitted to OMB at the final rule stage, a description of how the OCC has responded to any public comments on the collection, including comments on maximizing the practical utility of the collection and minimizing the burden. The OCC received no comments regarding the information collection and has resubmitted it to OMB for review in connection with the final rule.
