Summary

All powers and duties of the Office of Thrift Supervision and its Director move to other agencies on the transfer date. The Board of Governors will take over supervision of any savings and loan holding company and its non‑bank subsidiaries, plus rulemaking for those holding companies and the power to issue orders. The Board also gets OTS rulemaking under section 1468 (rules about transactions with affiliates and loans to executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders) and under section 1464(q) (tying arrangements). Unless already given to the Board, functions about Federal savings associations and rulemaking for savings associations go to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Functions about State savings associations go to the Corporation. Each agency that gets functions also takes the powers, rights, and duties OTS had the day before the transfer date. Nothing here limits transfers under title X.
