The MSAAC will advise the OCC on ways to meet the goals established by 
section 5(a) of the Home Owners' Loan Act, 12 U.S.C. 1464. The MSAAC 
will advise the OCC with regard to mutual savings associations on means 
to: (1) Provide for the organization, incorporation, examination, 
operation and regulation of associations to be known as federal savings 
associations (including federal savings banks); and (2) issue charters 
therefore, giving primary consideration of the best practices of thrift 
institutions in the United States. The MSAAC will help meet those goals

Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, Public Law 101-73, Title III, 
103 Stat. 353, 12 U.S.C. 1463 note. The goals of section 308 are to 
preserve the present number of minority institutions, preserve the 
minority character of minority-owned institutions in cases involving 
mergers or acquisitions, provide technical assistance, and encourage 
the creation of new minority institutions. The MDIAC will help the OCC 
meet those goals by providing informed advice and recommendations 
regarding a range of issues involving minority depository institutions. 
Nominations should describe and document the proposed member's 
qualifications for MSAAC or MDIAC membership, as appropriate. Existing 
MSAAC or MDIAC members may reapply themselves or may be renominated. 
The OCC will use this nomination process to achieve a balanced advisory 
committee membership and ensure that diverse views are represented 
among the membership of officers and directors of mutual and minority 
institutions. The MSAAC and MDIAC members will not be compensated for 
their time, but will be eligible for reimbursement of travel expenses 
in accordance with applicable federal law and regulations.
