Assessment of Fees; National Banks; District of Columbia Banks

Riepilogo

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) proposes to amend the assessment formula it uses to assess independent trust banks. A trust bank is considered independent for purposes of this proposal if it specializes in trust activities and is not affiliated with a full service national bank. Under the revised rate structure, all trust banks would continue to be assessed based on balance sheet assets. However, independent trust banks with over $1 billion in trust assets would pay an additional assessment to reflect the supervision required of these banks' off-balance sheet activities, while smaller independent trust banks would pay a flat fee.
