The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is issuing this final rule to adopt in final form, without substantive change, an interim rule to amend the OCC's rules, policies, and procedures to require the electronic filing of beneficial ownership reports by officers, directors, and major shareholders of national banks that have equity securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As required by the interim rule, this final rule requires that all reports filed with the OCC under section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 must be filed electronically and posted on a registered national bank's Web site, if it has one, as soon as practicable. This final rule clarifies procedures for officers, directors, and principal shareholders of registered national banks to comply with these mandated electronic filing requirements.
