    Title of Proposal: General Reporting and Recordkeeping by Savings 
Associations and Savings and Loan Holding Companies.
    OMB Number: 1550-0011.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description: This information collection relates to reports and 
records required by the following regulations: 12 CFR 552.11 (books and 
records, federal stock associations), 12 CFR 545.96(c) (agency business 
records, Federal stock associations), 12 CFR 544.8 (communications 
between members of a Federal mutual savings association), 12 CFR 562.1 
(regulatory reporting requirements, each savings association and its 
affiliates), 12 CFR 563.1 (chartering documents, each savings 
association), 12 CFR 563.47(e) (pension plans, each savings association 
or service corporation), 12 CFR 572.6(b) (standard flood hazard 
determination form, each savings association), 12 CFR 562.4 (audit of 
savings association, savings and loan holding company, or affiliate), 
12 CFR 563.76(c) (offers and sales of securities of a savings 
association or its affiliates in any office of the savings 
association), 12 CFR 584.1(f) (books and records of each savings and 
loan holding company), 12 CFR part 226 (Regulation Z, truth in

    Savings associations use the reports and records that 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 record keeping requirements would not 
allow for prudent internal controls or for examiners to determine the 
accurate performance and condition of savings associations. Savings 
associations use the reports and records that the regulations require

internal controls or for examiners to determine the accurate
