The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is revising its rules that describe the agency's organization and functions and govern the availability and release of information in order to facilitate the OCC's interaction with the banking industry and the public. The OCC is also making technical and clarifying amendments to its rules governing municipal securities dealers, disclosures under the Securities Exchange Act, and the disclosure of financial and other information by national banks. Finally, under authority delegated by the Department of the Treasury, the OCC is making minor changes to certain Treasury rules regarding disclosure of records. This final rule is another component of the OCC's Regulation Review Program, which is intended to update and streamline OCC regulations and to reduce unnecessary regulatory costs and other burdens.
