    Title of Proposal: Amendment of a Federal Savings Association 
Charter.
    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.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
    Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Burden: 6 hours.

    Dated: April 12, 2011.

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