information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of OTS;

the burden of the proposed information 

collection;

information collection on respondents, 

including through the use of

Title of Proposal: Mutual to Stock 

Conversion Application. 

OMB Number: 1550–0014. 

Form Numbers: 1680, 1681, 1682, and 

1683. 

Description: The OTS staff makes an 

in-depth study of all information 

furnished in the application in order to 

determine the safety and soundness of 

the proposed stock conversion. The 

purpose of the information collection is 

to provide OTS with the information 

necessary to determine if the proposed 

transaction may be approved. If the 

information required were not collected, 

OTS would not be able to properly 

evaluate whether the proposed 

transaction was acceptable. The 

information collection allows OTS to 

evaluate the merits of the proposed 

conversion plan and application in light 

of applicable statutory and regulatory 

criteria. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

30. 

Estimated Frequency of Response: On 

occasion. 

Estimated Total Burden: 15,300 

hours. 

Dated: April 6, 2011.
