invite comments on the following information collection.
    Title of Proposal: General Reporting and Recordkeeping by Savings 
Associations.
    OMB Number: 1550-0011.

the regulations require for internal management control purposes and 
examiners use them to determine whether savings associations are being 
operated safely, soundly, and in

compliance with regulations. An absence of the reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements would not allow for prudent internal 
controls or for examiners to determine the accurate performance and 
condition of savings associations. Specifically, OTS examiners use the 
reports and recordkeeping requirements to determine whether the savings 
associations are being operated safely, soundly, and in compliance with 
regulations.

Supervision, 1700 G Street, NW., Washington, DC 20552.
