Summary

For 90 days after the transfer date, the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision must finish closing out the Office’s work that relates to anything moved to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Corporation, or the Board of Governors. The Director must manage employees who have not yet been moved and pay them for pay and benefits they earned before they transfer. The Director must also manage Office property until it is moved under section 5433, and may take other actions needed to wrap things up. During those same 90 days, the Director keeps and may use the authority they had the day before the transfer, but only as needed to close out the Office and complete the transfer. The Director continues to be treated as a United States officer and keeps the same annual basic pay rate they had the day before the transfer.
