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.

Title of Proposal: Amendment of a

OMB Number: 1550–0018. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description: The charter of an insured 

federal savings association is a formal 

document created when a savings 

association establishes its corporate 

existence. The charter states the scope, 

purpose and duration for the corporate 

entity. Also, for a federally chartered 

savings association, the charter confirms 

that the board of directors has formally 

committed the institution to Section 5 of 

the Home Owners’ Loan Act (‘‘HOLA’’) 

and other applicable statutes and 

regulations governing federally 

chartered savings associations. See 12 

U.S.C. 1464. 

All federally chartered savings 

associations are required to file charter 

amendment applications or notices with 

OTS. OTS Regional Office staff review 

the applications and notices to 

determine whether the charter 

amendments comply with the 

regulations and OTS policy. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.
