OCC Issues Updated Comptroller's Handbook Booklet on Federal Branches and Agencies Supervision

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") issued an updated booklet titled, "Federal Branches and Agencies Supervision," which is part of the Comptroller's Handbook.

The booklet, which revises the booklet of the same title issued in December 1999, provides updated guidance and examination procedures to examiners and bankers concerning the supervision of federal branches and agencies.

Additionally, among other things, the booklet highlights considerations arising from legal and operational structures that differentiate federal branches and agencies from national banks, and explains the OCC's supervisory process for federal branches and agencies.
