OMB Control No.: 1557–0266. Type of Review: Regular review. Abstract: This information collection relates to reports and records required by the following regulations: • 12 CFR 152.11 (books and records, Federal stock associations); • 12 CFR 145.96(c) (agency business records, Federal stock associations); • 12 CFR 144.8 (communications between members of a Federal mutual savings association); • 12 CFR 162.1 (regulatory reporting requirements, each savings association and its affiliates); • 12 CFR 163.1 (chartering documents, each savings association); • 12 CFR 163.47(e) (pension plans, each savings association or service corporation); • 12 CFR 172.6(b) (standard flood hazard determination form, each savings association); • 12 CFR 162.4 (audit of savings association, savings and loan holding company, or affiliate); and • 12 CFR 163.76(c) (offers and sales of securities of a savings association or its affiliates in any office of the savings association). Savings associations use the reports and records that the regulations require for internal management control purposes and examiners use them to determine whether savings associations are being operated safely, soundly, and in compliance with regulations. An absence of the reporting and record keeping requirements would not allow for prudent internal controls or for examiners to determine the accurate performance and condition of savings associations. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit. Burden Estimates: Estimated Number of Respondents: 500. Estimated Total Burden: 68,345 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion.
