________________________________________________________________________
The Department of the Treasury performs four basic functions:
formulating and recommending economic, financial, tax, and fiscal
policies; serving as financial agent for the U.S. Government; enforcing
the law; and manufacturing coins and currency.
The Treasury Department was created by act of September 2, 1789 (31
U.S.C. 301 and 301 note). Many subsequent acts have figured in the
development of the Department, delegating new duties to its charge and
establishing the numerous bureaus and divisions that now comprise the
Treasury.
Secretary
As a major policy adviser to the President, the Secretary has primary
responsibility for formulating and recommending domestic and
international financial, economic, and tax policy; participating in the
formulation of broad fiscal policies that have general significance for
the economy; and managing the public debt. The Secretary also oversees
the activities of the Department in carrying out its major law
enforcement responsibility; in serving as the financial agent for the
U.S. Government; and in manufacturing coins, currency, and other
products for customer agencies.
In addition, the Secretary has many responsibilities as chief
financial officer of the Government. The Secretary serves as Chairman
pro tempore of the Economic Policy Council and as U.S. Governor of
the International Monetary Fund, the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, the Inter-American Development Bank, and
the African Development Bank. The Office of the Secretary includes the
offices of Deputy Secretary, General Counsel, Inspector General, the
Under Secretaries, the Assistant Secretaries, and Treasurer.
Deputy Secretary
The Deputy Secretary assists the Secretary in the supervision and
direction of the Department and its assigned programs, and acts for the
Secretary in his absence.
Under Secretary for International Affairs
The Under Secretary for International Affairs advises and assists the
Secretary and Deputy Secretary of the Treasury in the formulation and
execution of U.S. international policy. These responsibilities include
the development of policies and guidance of Department activities in the
areas of international monetary affairs, trade and investment policy,
international debt strategy, and U.S. participation in international
financial institutions. The Under Secretary acts as the U.S. G-7 Deputy
with responsibility for coordinating economic policies with finance
ministers from seven industrial nations and preparing the President for
the annual economic summits.
Under Secretary for Domestic Finance
The Under Secretary for Domestic Finance advises and assists the
Secretary and Deputy Secretary of the Treasury in the areas of domestic
finance, banking, and other related economic matters. These
responsibilities include the development of policies and guidance for
Treasury Department activities in the areas of financial institutions,
Federal debt finance, financial regulation, and capital markets.
Under Secretary for Enforcement
The Office of the Under Secretary for Enforcement was established in
fiscal year 1994 to promote and protect the Treasury Department's
enforcement interest, to effect an equalization across other
departmental secretariats as they deal on enforcement issues.
[[Page 447]]
[[Page 448]]
Assistant Secretaries
Financial Institutions The Assistant Secretary (Domestic Finance)

institutions policy, and synthetic fuels projects.
In the area of Federal finance, the Office is responsible for
Government financing and debt management; determining interest rates for
various Federal borrowing, lending, and investment purposes under
pertinent statutes; and developing legislative and administrative

The Office is also responsible for:

regard to financial institutions legislation and legislation affecting
the Federal agencies that regulate financial institutions; and
--providing support to carry out the Department's responsibilities
regarding the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation, and synthetic fuels projects taken over
from the Synthetic Fuels Corporation.
Economic Policy The Assistant Secretary (Economic Policy) informs the
Secretary and other senior Treasury officials of current and prospective
economic developments and assists in the determination of appropriate
economic policies. The Assistant Secretary:
--reviews and analyzes both domestic and international economic
issues, as well as developments in the financial markets;
--participates with the Secretary in the Economic Policy Council and
the Troika Forecasting Group, which develops official economic
projections and advises the President on choices among alternative
courses of economic policy; and
--works closely with officials of the Office of Management and
Budget, the Council of Economic Advisers, and other Government agencies
on the economic forecasts underlying the yearly budget process, and
advises the Secretary on the economic effects of tax and budget policy.
Within the Office of Economic Policy, staff support is provided by
the Office of Financial Analysis, the Office of Special Studies, the
Office of Monetary Policy Analysis, and the Applied Econometric Staff.
Enforcement The Assistant Secretary (Enforcement) supervises the
following operating bureaus: U.S. Secret Service; U.S. Customs Service;
Federal Law Enforcement Training Center; and Alcohol, Tobacco and

Office of Financial Enforcement, and the Office of Foreign Assets
Control.
The Assistant Secretary coordinates Treasury law enforcement
matters, including the formulation of policies for Treasury enforcement
activities, and cooperates on law enforcement matters with other Federal
agencies.
The important missions of protecting the President and other high
Government officials and preventing counterfeiting of U.S. currency and
theft and forgery of Government securities and checks are entrusted to
the U.S. Secret Service.
The U.S. Customs Service collects revenue from imports and enforces
the customs laws. In addition, it interdicts contraband, including
narcotics, along the land and sea borders of the United States.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is charged with
collecting excise taxes on alcoholic beverages and tobacco products;
suppressing traffic in illicit distilled spirits and illegal use of
explosives; and controlling the sale and registration of firearms.
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center provides law enforcement
training for personnel of Federal agencies.
[[Page 449]]
The Office of Financial Enforcement assists in implementing the Bank
Secrecy Act and administering related Treasury regulations.
The Office of Foreign Assets Control assists U.S. foreign policy
aims by controlling assets in the United States of ``blocked'' countries
and the flow of funds and trade to them.
Fiscal Affairs The Office of the Fiscal Assistant Secretary was
established pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. III of 1940 (5 U.S.C.
app.). The Office supervises the administration of the Government's
fiscal affairs. This includes the administration of Treasury financing
operations; management of Treasury's cash balances in tax and loan
investment accounts in commercial financial institutions and operating
balances with Federal Reserve Banks; and the Department's participation
in the Joint Financial Management Improvement Program for improvement of
accounting in the Federal Government. Supervision and oversight over the
functions and activities of the Financial Management Service and the
Bureau of the Public Debt are also provided.
The Fiscal Assistant Secretary is responsible for improved cash
management, debt collection, and credit administration on a
Governmentwide basis under the umbrella of the Administration's Reform
'88 initiative.
The Office:
--acts as liaison between the Secretary and other Government
agencies with respect to their financial operations;

monitors ``debt subject-to-limit;''
--directs the performance of the fiscal agency functions of the
Federal Reserve Banks;
--conducts governmentwide accounting and cash management activities;
--exercises supervision over depositories of the United States; and
--provides management overview of investment practices for

International Affairs The Office of the Assistant Secretary
(International Affairs) advises and assists the Secretary, Deputy
Secretary, and Under Secretary for International Affairs in the
formulation and execution of policies dealing with international
monetary, financial, commercial, energy, and trade policies and
programs. The work of the Office is organized into groups responsible
for monetary affairs, developing nations, trade and investment policy,
and Arabian Peninsula affairs.
These functions are performed by supporting staff offices, which:
--conduct financial diplomacy with industrial and developing nations
and regions;
--work toward improving the structure and operations of the
international monetary system;
--monitor developments in foreign exchange and other markets and
official operations affecting those markets;

As part of those functions, the Office supports the Secretary in his
role as co-Chairman of the U.S.-Saudi Arabian Joint Commission on
Economic Cooperation, co-Chairman of the U.S.-Israel Joint Committee for
Investment and Trade, co-Chairman of the U.S.-China Joint Economic
Committee, and Chairman of the National Advisory Council on
International Monetary and Financial Policies.
Treasurer of the United States The Office of the Treasurer of the
United States was established on September 6, 1777. The Treasurer was
originally charged with the receipt and custody of
[[Page 450]]
Government funds, but many of these functions have been assumed by
different bureaus of the Department of the Treasury. In 1981, the
Treasurer was assigned responsibility for oversight of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing and the United States Mint. The Treasurer reports
to the Secretary through the Assistant Secretary (Management)/Chief
Financial Officer.
Tax Policy The Office of the Assistant Secretary (Tax Policy) advises

President's annual budget messages;

For further information concerning the Departmental Offices, contact the
Public Affairs Office, Department of the Treasury, 1500 Pennsylvania
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20220. Phone, 202-622-2960.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was established by Treasury
Department Order No. 221, effective July 1, 1972. The order transferred
the functions, powers, and duties arising under laws relating to
alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives from the Internal Revenue
Service to the Bureau. On December 5, 1978, Treasury Department Order
No. 120-1 assigned to the Bureau responsibility for enforcing chapter
114 of title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. 2341 et seq.)
relating to interstate trafficking in contraband cigarettes. With
passage of the Anti-Arson Act of 1982, the Bureau was given the
additional responsibility of addressing commercial arson nationwide.
Bureau Headquarters is located in Washington, DC, but since the
Bureau is decentralized, most of its personnel are stationed throughout
the country where many of its operational functions are performed.
The Bureau is responsible for enforcing and administering firearms
and explosives laws, as well as those covering the production, taxation,
and distribution of alcohol and tobacco products. The Bureau's
objectives are to maximize compliance with and investigate violations of
these laws. To achieve these goals, the Bureau is divided into two basic
functions: criminal enforcement and regulatory enforcement.
The objectives of criminal enforcement activities are to:
--suppress illegal trafficking, possession and use of firearms,
destructive devices, and explosives;
--impact arson-for-profit schemes;
--suppress the traffic in illicit distilled spirits;
--suppress interstate trafficking in contraband cigarettes;
--assist Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies in
reducing crime and violence; and
--investigate narcotics traffickers who use firearms and explosives
as tools of their trade, especially violent gangs.
The objectives of regulatory enforcement activities are to:
--determine and ensure full collection of revenue due from legal
alcohol,
[[Page 451]]
tobacco, firearms, and ammunition manufacturing industries;
--fulfill the Bureau's responsibility in ensuring product integrity
and health warning statements, and in preventing commercial bribery,
consumer deception, and other improper trade practices in the beverage
alcohol industry;
--assist other Federal, State, and local governmental agencies in
the resolution of problems relating to revenue protection;
--ensure that persons prohibited by law from manufacturing,
importing, or dealing in alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives do
not obtain a license or permit;
--ensure that storage facilities for explosives are safe, secure,
and properly stored to avoid presenting a hazard to the public; and
--ensure that an audit trail is preserved to permit the tracing of
firearms used in the commission of crimes and full accountability for
explosive materials.

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
[For the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 12, Part 4]
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) was created February
25, 1863 (12 Stat. 665), as a bureau of the Department of the Treasury.
Its primary mission is to regulate national banks. OCC is headed by the
Comptroller, who is appointed for a 5-year term by the President with
the advice and consent of the Senate. By statute, the Comptroller also
serves a concurrent term as Director of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC).
OCC regulates national banks by its power to examine banks; approve
or deny applications for new bank charters, branches, or mergers; take
enforcement action--such as bank closures--against banks that are not in
compliance with laws and regulations; and issue rules, regulations, and
interpretations on banking practices.
OCC supervises approximately 3,300 national banks, including their
trust activities and overseas operations. Each bank is examined annually
through a nationwide staff of approximately 2,400 bank examiners
supervised in 6 district offices. OCC is independently funded through
assessments of the assets of national banks.
For further information, contact the Communications Division, Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency, Department of the Treasury, 250 E
Street SW., Washington, DC 20219. Phone, 202-874-4700.
United States Customs Service
The fifth act of the first Congress, passed on July 31, 1789 (1 Stat.
29), established customs districts and authorized customs officers to
collect duties on goods, wares, and merchandise imposed by the second
act of the first Congress, dated July 4, 1789 (1 Stat. 24). The Bureau
of Customs was established as a separate agency under the Treasury
Department on March 3, 1927 (19 U.S.C. 2071) and, effective August 1,
1973, was redesignated the United States Customs Service by Treasury
Department Order 165-23 of April 4, 1973.
The Customs Service enforces customs and related laws and collects
the revenue from imports. Customs also administers the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1654), and other customs laws. Some of the
responsibilities that Customs is specifically charged with are:
--interdicting and seizing contraband, including narcotics and
illegal drugs;
--assessing and collecting customs duties, excise taxes, fees, and
penalties due on imported merchandise;
--processing persons, carriers, cargo, and mail into and out of the
United States;
--administering certain navigation laws; and
--detecting and apprehending persons engaged in fraudulent practices
designed to circumvent customs and related laws; copyright, patent, and
trademark provisions; quotas; and marking requirements for imported
merchandise.
As the principal border enforcement agency, Customs' mission has
been extended over the years to assisting in the administration and
enforcement of some 400 provisions of law on behalf of more than 40
Government agencies. Today, in addition to enforcing the Tariff Act of
1930 and other customs statutes, the Customs Service:
--cooperates with other Federal agencies and foreign governments in
suppressing the traffic of illegal narcotics and pornography;
--enforces export control laws and intercepts illegal high-
technology and weapons exports;
[[Page 453]]
--enforces reporting requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act; and
--collects international trade statistics.
Also, Customs enforces a wide range of requirements to protect the
public, such as auto safety and emission control standards, radiation
and radioactive material standards; counterfeit monetary instruments;
flammable fabric restrictions; animal and plant quarantine requirements;
and food, drug, and hazardous substance prohibitions.
Customs is extensively involved with outside commercial and policy
organizations and trade associations, and with international
organizations and foreign customs services. Customs is a member of the
multinational World Customs Organization, the Cabinet Committee to
Combat Terrorism, and the International Narcotics Control Program. In
addition, Customs participates in and supports the activities and
programs of various international organizations and agreements,
including the World Trade Organization, the International Civil Aviation
Organization, and the Organization of American States (OAS).
Headquarters of the U.S. Customs Service is located in Washington,
DC, under the supervision of the Commissioner of Customs, who is
appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
The 50 States, plus the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, are divided
into 20 customs management center areas, under which there are
approximately 300 ports of entry.
The foreign field offices of the Customs Service are located in
Bangkok, Beijing, Bonn, Brussels, Caracas, Hermosillo, Hong Kong,
London, Merida, Mexico City, Milan, Monterrey, Montevideo, Ottawa,
Panama City, Paris, Rome, Seoul, Singapore, Tokyo, Vienna, and The
Hague. An attache represents U.S. Customs in the U.S. Mission to the
European Communities in Brussels.
The Customs Service also operates a Canine Enforcement Training
Center at Front Royal, VA.

Bureau of Engraving and Printing
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing operates on basic authorities
conferred by act of July 11, 1862 (31 U.S.C. 303) and additional
authorities contained in past appropriations made to the Bureau that are
still in force. A working capital fund was established in accordance
with the provisions of section 2 of the act of August 4, 1950, as
amended (31 U.S.C. 5142), which placed the Bureau on a completely
reimbursable basis. The Bureau is headed by a Director, who is appointed
by the Secretary of the Treasury and reports to the Treasurer of the
United States.
At the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the timeless artistry of
the engraver in combined with the most technologically-advanced printing
equipment to produce United States securities. The Bureau designs,
prints, and finishes all of the Nation's paper currency (Federal Reserve
notes), as well as U.S. postage stamps, Treasury securities,
certificates, and other security products, including White House
invitations and military identification cards. It also is responsible
for advising and assisting Federal agencies in the design and production
of other Government documents that, because of their innate value or for
other reasons, require security or counterfeit-deterrence
characteristics.
The Bureau operates two facilities: the headquarters in Washington,
DC, and a second currency manufacturing plant in Fort Worth, TX.
For further information, contact the Office of Communications, Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, Department of the Treasury, Room 533M,
Fourteenth and C Streets SW., Washington, DC 20228. Phone, 202-874-3019.
Federal Law Enforcement Training Center
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center was established by Treasury
Department Order No. 217, effective March 2, 1970; and reaffirmed by
Treasury Department Order No. 140-01 of September 20, 1994.
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center is headed by a Director,
who is appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Center conducts
operations at its training facility located at Glynco, GA. The Center
also maintains a Washington, DC, office at 650 Massachusetts Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20226 (phone, 202-927-8940). In addition, the Center has
a satellite operation located at Artesia, NM 88210 (phone, 505-748-
8000).
The Center is an interagency training facility serving over 72
Federal law enforcement organizations. The major training effort is in
the area of basic programs to teach common areas of law enforcement
skills to police and investigative personnel. The Center also conducts
advanced programs in areas of common need, such as white-collar crime,
the use of microcomputers as an investigative tool, advanced law
enforcement photography, international
[[Page 455]]
banking/money laundering, marine law enforcement, and several instructor
training courses. In addition to the basic and common advanced programs,
the Center provides the facilities and support services for
participating organizations to conduct advanced training for their own
law enforcement personnel. The Center offers selective, highly
specialized training programs to State and local officers as an aid in
deterring crime. These programs include a variety of areas such as fraud
and financial investigations, marine law enforcement, arson for profit,
international banking/money laundering, and criminal intelligence
analyst training.
The Center develops the curriculum content and training techniques
for recruit training, and advises and assists the participating
organizations in producing, formulating, and operating specialized
training materials and equipment.
Administrative and financial activities are supervised by the
Department of the Treasury. However, training policy, programs,
criteria, and standards are governed by the interagency Board of
Directors, comprised of senior officials from eight departments and
independent agencies.
For further information, contact the Public Affairs Office, Federal Law
Enforcement Training Center, Department of the Treasury, Glynco, GA

Financial Management Service
The mission of the Financial Management Service (FMS) is to improve the
quality of Government financial management. Its commitment and
responsibility is to help its Government customers achieve success. It
serves taxpayers, the Treasury Department, Federal program agencies, and
Government policymakers by linking program and financial management
objectives and by providing financial services, information, and advice
to its customers.
Working Capital Management The Service is responsible for programs to
improve cash management, credit management, debt collection, and
financial management systems Governmentwide. For cash management, the
Service issues guidelines and regulations and assists other agencies in
managing financial transactions to maximize investment earnings and
reduce the interest costs of borrowed funds. For credit management, the
Service issues guidelines and regulations and assists program agencies
with management of credit activities, including loan programs, to
improve all parts of the credit cycle, such as credit extension, loan
servicing, debt collection, and write-off procedures. The Service is
presently working with other agencies to improve financial management
systems and the way Government handles its payments, collections, and
receivables, and to take advantage of new automation technology.
Payments The Service issues approximately 426 million Treasury checks
and close to 407 million electronic fund transfer payments annually for
Federal salaries and wages, payments to suppliers of goods and services
to the Federal Government, income tax refunds, and payments under major
Government programs such as social security and veterans' benefits. The
Service pays all Treasury checks and reconciles them against the
accounts of Government disbursing officers, receives and examines claims
for checks that are cashed under forged endorsements or that are lost,
stolen, or destroyed; and issues new checks on approved claims. The
Service uses two electronic funds-transfer methods: the automated
clearinghouses--for recurring payments such as Government benefits and
[[Page 456]]
salaries--and wire transfers through the Fedline System. The latter is a
computer-to-computer link with the Federal Reserve System that allows
for the electronic transfer of funds to virtually any financial
institution in the United States.
Collections The Service supervises the collection of Government
receipts and operates and maintains the systems for collecting these
receipts. The Service is working with all Federal agencies to improve
the availability of collected funds and the reporting of collection
information to Treasury. Current collection systems include the Treasury
General Account System, the Treasury Tax and Loan System for withholding
and other Federal tax deposits, and the Treasury National Automated
Lockbox System for accelerating the processing of agency receipts.
Central Accounting and Reporting The Service maintains a central system
that accounts for the monetary assets and liabilities of the Treasury
and tracks Government collection and payment operations. Periodic
reports are prepared to show budget results, the Government's overall
financial status, and other financial operations. These reports include
the Daily Treasury Statement, the Monthly Treasury Statement, the
Quarterly Treasury Bulletin, the annual Treasury Report, and the annual
Treasury Consolidated Financial Statement.

Internal Revenue Service
The Office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue was established by
act of July 1, 1862 (26 U.S.C. 7802).
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is responsible for administering
and enforcing the internal revenue laws and related statutes, except
those relating to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives. Its
mission is to collect the proper amount of tax revenue at the least cost
to the public, and in a manner that warrants the highest degree of
public confidence in the Service's integrity, efficiency, and fairness.
To achieve that purpose, the Service:
--strives to achieve the highest possible degree of voluntary
compliance in accordance with the tax laws and regulations;
--advises the public of their rights and responsibilities;
--determines the extent of compliance and the causes of
noncompliance;
--properly administers and enforces the tax laws; and
--continually searches for and implements new, more efficient ways
of accomplishing its mission.
Basic activities include:
--ensuring satisfactory resolution of taxpayer complaints, providing
taxpayer service and education;
--determining, assessing, and collecting internal revenue taxes;
--determining pension plan qualifications and exempt organization
status; and
--preparing and issuing rulings and regulations to supplement the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The source of most revenues collected is the individual income tax
and the
[[Page 457]]
social insurance and retirement taxes, with other major sources being
the corporation income, excise, estate, and gift taxes. Congress first
received authority to levy taxes on the income of individuals and
corporations in 1913, pursuant to the 16th amendment of the
Constitution.
Organization
Service organization is designed for maximum decentralization,
consistent with the need for uniform interpretation of the tax laws and
efficient utilization of resources. There are three organizational
levels: the National Office; the Regional Offices; and the District
Offices, Service Centers, and the Austin Compliance Center (in the
Midstates Region). Districts may have local offices, the number and
location of which are determined by taxpayer and agency needs.
Headquarters Organization The National Office, located in Washington,
DC, develops nationwide policies and programs for the administration of
the internal revenue laws and provides overall direction to the field
organization. Also assigned to the National Office are the Martinsburg
Computing Center in Martinsburg, WV; the Detroit Computing Center in
Detroit, MI; and the 10 Service Centers (located in various States
across the country).
Field Organization
As IRS is a decentralized organization, most agency personnel and
activities are assigned to field installations.
Regional Offices There are four Regional Offices, each headed by a
Regional Commissioner, which supervise and evaluate the operations of
District Offices and the Austin Compliance Center.

District Offices By the end of September 1996, there will be 33
Internal Revenue districts, each administered by a District Director.
Districts may encompass several States, an entire State, or a certain
number of counties within a State, depending on population. Programs of
the District include taxpayer service, examination, collection, criminal
investigation, and, in some districts, pension plans and exempt
organizations. Functions performed are: assistance and service to
taxpayers, determination of tax liability by examination of tax returns,
determination of pension plan qualification, collection of delinquent
returns and taxes, and investigation of criminal and civil violations of
internal revenue laws (except those relating to alcohol, tobacco,
firearms, and explosives). Directors are responsible for the deposit of
taxes collected by the District and for initial processing of original
applications for admission to practice before the Internal Revenue
Service and renewal issuances for those practitioners already enrolled.
Local offices are established to meet taxpayer needs and agency workload
requirements.

Bureau of the Public Debt
The Bureau of the Public Debt was established on June 30, 1940, pursuant
to the Reorganization Act of 1939 (31 U.S.C. 306).
[[Page 460]]
Its mission is to borrow the money needed to operate the Federal
Government; account for the resulting public debt; and to issue Treasury
securities to refund maturing debt and raise new money.
The Bureau fulfills its mission through six programs: commercial
book-entry securities, direct access securities, savings securities,
Government securities, market regulation, and public debt accounting.
The Bureau auctions and issues Treasury bills, notes, and bonds and
manages the U.S. Savings Bond Program. It issues, services, and redeems
bonds through a nationwide network of issuing and paying agents. The
Bureau also promotes the sale and retention of savings bonds through
payroll savings plans and financial institutions and is supported by a
network of volunteers. It provides daily and other periodic reports to
account for the composition and size of the debt. In addition, the
Bureau implements the regulations for the Government securities market.
These regulations provide for investor protection while maintaining a
fair and liquid market for Government securities.
The Bureau of the Public Debt was established on June 30, 1940,
pursuant to the Reorganization Act of 1939 (31 U.S.C. 306). Principal
offices of the Bureau are located in Washington, DC, and Parkersburg,

Office of Thrift Supervision
The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) was established as a bureau of
the Treasury Department in August 1989 and became operational in October
1989 as part of a major reorganization of the thrift regulatory
structure mandated by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act. In that act, Congress gave OTS authority to charter
Federal thrift institutions and serve as the primary regulator of
approximately 1,700 Federal- and State-chartered thrifts belonging to
the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). The Office's mission is
to regulate savings associations to maintain the safety, soundness, and
viability of the industry; and to support the industry's efforts to meet
housing and other financial services needs. It carries out this
responsibility through risk-focused supervision that includes adopting
regulations governing the savings and loan industry, examining and
supervising thrift institutions and their affiliates, and taking
appropriate action to enforce their compliance with Federal law and
regulations. In addition to overseeing thrift institutions, OTS also
regulates, examines, and supervises companies that own thrifts and
controls the acquisition of thrifts by such holding companies.
The Office is headed by a Director appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate to serve a 5-year term. The Director also serves
on the boards of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the
Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation.
To carry out its mission, OTS is organized into five main divisions:
Washington Operations develops national policy guidelines to clarify
and implement statutes and regulations; establishes programs to
implement new policies and laws; and develops and maintains surveillance
systems that monitor the condition of the industry and assist in
identifying emerging supervisory problem areas. It also develops and
maintains financial management and information systems; maintains human
resources programs; and performs other related functions.
Regional Operations examines and supervises thrift institutions
through five regional offices to ensure the safety and soundness of the
industry, and to promote housing and other financial services in areas
with the greatest need. It also oversees the training and development of
Federal thrift regulators through accredited programs. The regional
offices are headquartered in Jersey City, NJ; Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL;
Dallas, TX; and San Francisco, CA.
Chief Counsel provides a full range of legal services to the agency,
including drafting regulations, representing the agency in court, and
taking enforcement actions against savings institutions that violate
laws or regulations. This office also acts on corporate filings required
by the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
Congressional Affairs interacts with members of Congress,
congressional staff, and committee members on behalf of OTS to
accomplish the legislative objectives of the Office. This division
disseminates information to the Congress pertaining to OTS' supervisory,
regulatory, and enforcement activities and policies, and manages
congressional-liaison programs.
Public Affairs oversees dissemination of information concerning OTS
regulations, policies, and key developments within the Office by
establishing and maintaining effective liaisons with the media, the
general public, the thrift industry, Government agencies, and other key
constituencies. It convenes press conferences and distributes news
releases.
The division also maintains an archive of business records and
documented actions of OTS and its predecessor, the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board; responds to Freedom of Information requests; and maintains a
public reference room for viewing securities filing and other public
documents.
The Office is a nonappropriated agency and thus uses no tax money to
fund its operations. Its expenses are met
[[Page 464]]
by fees and assessments on the thrift institutions it regulates.
