SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OTS may not conduct or sponsor an 
information collection, and respondents are not required to respond to 
an information collection, unless the information collection displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. As part of the approval process, we 
invite comments on the following information collection.
    Comments should address one or more of the following points:
    a. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of OTS;
    b. The accuracy of OTS's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
information collection;
    c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected;
    d. Ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on 
respondents, including through the use of information technology.
    We will summarize the comments that we receive and include them in 
the OTS request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of 
public record. In this notice, OTS is soliciting comments concerning 
the following information collection.
    Title of Proposal: Savings and Loan Holding Company Application.
    OMB Number: 1550-0015.
    Form Numbers: H-(e).
    Description: Section 10(e) of the Home Owners' Loan Act, 12 U.S.C. 
1467a(e), and its implementing regulations provide that no company, or 
any director or officer of a savings and loan holding company, or any 
individual who owns, controls, or holds with power to vote (or holds 
proxies representing) more than 25 percent of the voting stock of a 
savings and loan holding company, shall acquire control of a savings 
association except upon receipt of written approval of OTS. While this 
prohibition and approval requirement applies to certain persons 
affiliated with a savings and loan holding company, a similar 
prohibition and approval requirement applies to other persons who seek 
to control a savings association. However, a transaction may be exempt.
    OTS analyzes each holding company application to determine whether 
the applicant meets the statutory criteria set forth in Section 10(e) 
of the Act to become a savings and loan holding company. The forms are 
reviewed for adequacy of answers to items and completeness in all 
material respects.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 65.
    Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Burden: 32,500 hours.

    Dated: April 6, 2011.

Paperwork Clearance Officer, Office of Chief Counsel, Office of Thrift 
Supervision.
