Abstract: The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has a continuing commitment to assess its efforts to provide support and technical assistance to OCC-supervised national banks and Federal savings associations (community banks). To perform this assessment, it is necessary to obtain from community banks feedback on the effectiveness of the OCC’s current efforts and suggestions for enhancing its supervisory efforts and assistance. The OCC will use the survey to collect non-generalizable information about customer satisfaction.
