Thrift Supervision Office July 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision has determined that the establishment of a Minority Depository Institutions Advisory Committee is necessary and in the public interest in order to preserve minority institutions and encourage their creation. OTS is seeking nominations of individuals to be considered for selection as Committee members and the names of professional and public interest groups that should be represented on the Committee.

The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) is amending its mutual holding company (MHC) regulations to permit certain MHC subsidiaries to adopt an optional charter provision that would prohibit any person from acquiring, or offering to acquire, beneficial ownership of more than ten percent of the MHC subsidiary's minority stock (stock held by persons other than the subsidiary's MHC).
