OCC

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is publishing a final rule amending parts 7 and 34 of our regulations to add provisions clarifying the applicability of state law to national banks’ operations. The provisions concerning preemption identify types of state laws that are preempted, as well as the types of state laws that generally are not preempted, with respect to national banks’ lending, deposit-taking, and other operations.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is adopting amendments to its regulations governing organization and functions, availability and release of information, post-employment restrictions for senior examiners, and assessment of fees to incorporate the transfer of certain functions of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) to the OCC pursuant to Title III of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) published in the Federal Register on May 26, 2011, a notice of proposed rulemaking entitled ‘‘Office of Thrift Supervision Integration; Dodd-Frank Act Implementation.’’ Inadvertently, an incorrect E-mail address was used in the ADDRESSES caption for submission of public comments directly to the OCC via electronic mail. This document corrects that E-mail address.
