5.4—Filing required.
(a) Filing.
A depository institution shall file an application or notice with the OCC to engage in corporate activities and transactions as described in this part.
(b) Availability of forms.
Individual sample forms and instructions for filings are available in the Manual and from each district office.
(c) Other applications accepted.
At the request of the applicant, the OCC may accept an application form or other filing submitted to another Federal agency that covers the proposed action or transaction and contains substantially the same information as required by the OCC. The OCC may also require the applicant to submit supplemental information.
(d) Where to file.
An applicant should address a filing or other submission under this part to the attention of the Director for District Licensing at the appropriate district office. However, the OCC may advise an applicant through a pre-filing communication to send the filing or submission directly to the Licensing Department or elsewhere as otherwise directed by the OCC. Relevant addresses are listed in the Manual.
(e) Incorporation of other material.
An applicant may incorporate any material contained in any other application or filing filed with the OCC or other Federal agency by reference, provided that the material is attached to the application and is current and responsive to the information requested by the OCC. The filing must clearly indicate that the information is so incorporated and include a cross-reference to the information incorporated.
