Abstract: The Comptroller's Licensing Manual explains the OCC's policies and procedures for the formation of a new national bank, entry into the national banking system by other institutions, and corporate expansion and structural changes by existing national banks. The OCC currently provides its national banks with two methods for application and notice submissions. Banks can submit either electronic applications and notices using e-Corp, an internet based program, or they can submit paper applications and notices. Presently, just a few applications and notices are available for electronic submission. The OCC proposes to replace the existing electronic and hard-copy process with a new web-based program currently in development. The program is an integrated, self service, data entry web-based portal named the Central Applications Tracking System (CATS). CATS will serve as the primary source for banks to create, edit and submit their filings and all associated attachments.
