Subject: Department of the Treasury, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency: OCC Guidelines
        Establishing Standards for Recovery Planning by Certain Large Insured National
        Banks, Insured Federal Savings Associations, and Insured Federal Branches;
        Technical Amendments

Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule
promulgated by the Department of the Treasury, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(OCC) entitled OCC Guidelines Establishing Standards for Recovery Planning by Certain Large
Insured National Banks, Insured Federal Savings Associations, and Insured Federal Branches;
Technical Amendments (RIN: 1557-AD96). We received the rule on September 30, 2016. It
was published in the Federal Register as a final rule and guidelines on September 29, 2016.
81 Fed. Reg. 66,791.

The final rule and guidelines establish standards for recovery planning by insured national
banks, insured federal savings associations, and insured federal branches of foreign banks with
average total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more. OCC is issuing this rule as an
appendix to its safety and soundness standards regulations, and OCC determined it will be
enforceable by the terms of the federal statute that authorizes OCC to prescribe operational and
managerial standards for national banks and federal savings associations. This rule also
adopts technical changes to the safety and soundness standards regulations that are made
necessary by the addition of the rule.

Enclosed is our assessment of OCC's compliance with the procedural steps required by section
801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review of the procedural steps
taken indicates that OCC complied with the applicable requirements.
