OCC Rules Regarding the Availability of OCC Information
Current understanding
The OCC has issued a proposed rule to clarify the circumstances under which non-public OCC information and confidential supervisory information (CSI) may be disclosed, including a limited pathway for regulated entities to share CSI without prior OCC approval when specified safeguards are met. The proposal also streamlines FOIA request handling, including provisions for expedited processing. For individuals and companies, this affects access to bank supervisory records and the ability of supervised institutions to share sensitive regulatory information with third parties such as auditors, counsel, or affiliates.
