sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 12, 2008 / Notices 46985 

by generally prohibiting a management 

official from serving two unaffiliated 

depository organizations in situations 

where the management interlock would 

likely have an anticompetitive effect. 12

service as a management official of an 

institution, savings and loan 

association, and affiliates of either. 

OTS regulations set forth several 

interlocking relationships that are 

prohibited. 12 CFR part 563f. Generally, 

a management official of a depository 

institution or depository holding 

company may not serve as a 

management official of an unaffiliated 

depository institution or depository 

holding company if the entities in 

question (or a depository institution 

affiliate thereof) have offices in the same 

community or metropolitan statistical 

area or are of a certain asset size. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other
