OCC requests comment on renewal of mutual-to-stock conversion information collection

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) published a notice (FR Doc No. 2026-21208) in the Federal Register on Oct. 16, 2026 announcing the renewal of its information collection titled "Conversions From Mutual to Stock Form." The collection bears OMB Control No. 1557-0347 and is subject to a regular review. Comments must be received by Nov. 16, 2026.

The collection is required under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and concerns savings associations converting from a mutual to a stock form pursuant to section 5(i)(2)(A) of the Home Owners' Loan Act, 12 U.S.C. 1464(i)(2)(A). The notice identifies the affected public as "Businesses or other for-profit." The OCC seeks OMB approval to continue the collection, which includes the filings, business plans, certifications, and disclosures set out in 12 CFR 192.

Regulations at 12 CFR 192 detail the procedural steps for conversion, including waiver requests (192.5(c)), business-plan requirements (192.105(a)), CEO and board certifications (192.110(b)), confidential filing of the plan (192.115(b)), and the content of the conversion application (192.150). Additional provisions govern member notifications (192.135), public notices (192.180), member voting (192.225), and post-conversion reporting (192.240).
