Title of Proposal: Amendment of a Federal Savings Association
Charter.
OMB Number: 1550-0018.
Form Number: N/A.
Description: The charter of an insured Federal savings association
is a formal document created when a savings association establishes its
corporate existence. The charter states the scope, purpose and duration
for the corporate entity. Also, for a Federally chartered savings
association, the charter confirms that the board of directors has
formally committed the institution to Section 5 of the Home Owners'
Loan Act (``HOLA'') and other applicable statutes and regulations
governing Federally chartered savings associations. See 12 U.S.C. 1464.
All Federally chartered savings associations are required to file
charter amendment applications or notices with OTS. OTS Regional Office
staff review the applications and notices to determine whether the
charter amendments comply with the regulations and OTS policy.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Burden: 6 hours.

Supervision.
