SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OTS may

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: Notice of Hiring or 

Indemnifying Senior Executive Officers 

or Directors. 

OMB Number: 1550–0047. 

Form Numbers: 1606; 1624. 

Description: 12 U.S.C. 1831i requires 

OTS to make a determination as to the 

hiring or appointment of senior 

executive officers or directors at savings 

institutions or thrift holding companies. 

The OTS’s determination must be based 

upon an evaluation of the individual’s 

competence, experience, character, and 

integrity. The information required by 

the collection is necessary to make this 

determination. Without this 

information, the OTS cannot 

accomplish the statutory requirement 

designed to protect the interests of the 

Deposit Insurance Fund. The OTS has 

delegated the Regional Director, or his 

designee, at each Regional Office the 

authority to approve or deny these 

requests. They evaluate the individual’s 

educational and professional experience 

to determine competence in the 

proposed position. An evaluation of the 

individual’s proprietary interests 

identifies conflicts of interest that may 

render such person unsuitable for the 

position. Finally, information such as an 

individual’s criminal offenses, lawsuits, 

and related disclosures enable further 

evaluation of the individual’s integrity 

and character. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

120. 

Estimated Frequency of Response: On 

occasion. 

Estimated Total Burden: 280 hours. 

Dated: December 17, 2010. 

Ira L. Mills, 

Paperwork Clearance Officer, Office of Chief 

Counsel, Office of Thrift Supervision.
