Section 24.4(a) provides that a national bank may submit a written request to the OCC to exceed five percent of its capital and surplus for its aggregate, outstanding public welfare investments. The OCC may grant permission to the bank to make subsequent public welfare investments up to the approved investment limit without prior notification to, or approval by the OCC, using the afterthe-fact notification process consistent with § 24.5(a). Section 24.5(a)(5) provides that a national bank that is not an eligible bank, consistent with § 24.2(e), but that VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:22 Feb 04, 2019 Jkt 247001 is at least adequately capitalized and has a composite rating of at least 3 with improving trends under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System, may submit a letter to the OCC requesting authority to submit after-thefact notices of its public welfare investments.
