Title of Proposal: Capital Distribution. 

OMB Number: 1550–0059. 

Form Numbers: 1583. 

Regulation Requirement: 12 CFR part 

563. 

Description: The OTS reviews the 

information to determine whether the

mechanism for monitoring capital 

distributions since these distributions 

can reduce an association’s capital and 

perhaps places it at risk.

for-profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:
