  <title><![CDATA[  Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB  Review; Comment Request]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-12-20-E7-24722</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The OCC, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork 
and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal 
agencies to comment on a proposed information collection, as required 
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and a respondent is not required to respond to, an information 
collection unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) control number. The OCC is soliciting comments 
concerning an information collection titled ``Bank Secrecy Act/Money 
Laundering Risk Assessment'' (MLR). The OCC is also giving notice that 
it has sent the information collection to OMB for review.

  <title><![CDATA[  Permissible Activities of Savings and Loan Holding Companies]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-12-20-E7-24676</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) is revising its 
regulations, at 12 CFR 584.2 and 584.22, to expand the permissible 
activities of savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs) to the full 
extent permitted under the Home Owners' Loan Act (HOLA). In addition, 
OTS is amending 12 CFR 584.4 to conform the regulation to the statute 
that it is intended to implement, and to set forth standards that OTS 
will use to evaluate applications submitted pursuant to the statutory 
application requirement.

  <title><![CDATA[  Federal Savings Association Bylaws; Integrity of Directors;  Withdrawal of Proposed Rule]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-12-20-E7-24743</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) is withdrawing the 
proposed rule. The proposed rule would have amended OTS's regulations 
concerning corporate governance to permit federally chartered savings 
associations and mutual holding companies (collectively, federal 
savings associations) to adopt a preapproved bylaw that would have 
precluded certain persons from serving on the adopting federal savings 
association's board of directors, and from nominating others to so 
serve. In addition, the proposed preapproved bylaw would have precluded 
any entity owned or controlled by a prohibited person from nominating 
anyone to serve on the adopting federal savings association's board of  directors.\1\<br/>
    \1\ OTS proposed amending regulations governing bylaws of 
federal stock and federal mutual savings associations. However, 
OTS's regulations governing mutual holding companies incorporate the 
bylaw provisions of federal stock and federal mutual savings 
associations.

  <title><![CDATA[  Savings and Loan Holding Company Rating System ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-12-20-E7-24742</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) is revising its savings 
and loan holding company (SLHC) rating system to better reflect and 
communicate its supervisory expectations. The new SLHC rating system 
revises component descriptions to better emphasize risk management and 
adopts a numeric rating scale.
