Electronic Filings

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is issuing this interim rule, with a request for comments, to amend our rules, policies and procedures for corporate activities. The interim rule expressly provides that the OCC may permit national banks to make any class of licensing filings electronically. Its purpose is to facilitate the expansion of the OCC's e-Corp program. The e-Corp program, which began as a pilot project to enable participating national banks to make certain types of licensing filings electronically, has been made available to all national banks through the OCC's National BankNet web site. The rule furthers the OCC's objectives of reducing regulatory burden for national banks and improving the agency's efficiency in processing filings through increased use of electronic technology. The interim rule also amends part 5 to clarify the circumstances under which we may adopt filing procedures different from those otherwise required by part 5.
