Title 12 › Chapter 53— WALL STREET REFORM AND CONSUMER PROTECTION › Subchapter III— TRANSFER OF POWERS TO THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY, THE CORPORATION, AND THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS › Part A— Transfer of Powers and Duties › § 5414
Keeps rights, duties, and ongoing court cases that existed the day before the transfer date. If a legal case started before the transfer date and it relates to a function moved from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), the new agency that got that function will take OTS’s place in the case. The Board of Governors will replace OTS when the function moved to the Board. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (or the Comptroller) will replace OTS when the function moved to the Comptroller. The Corporation will replace OTS when the function moved to the Corporation. All orders, rules, agreements, and guidance that OTS had in effect the day before the transfer date keep working the same way. The agency that got the function can enforce them until they are changed by that agency, by a court, or by law. By the transfer date, each agency must list which continued rules it will enforce and publish that list in the Federal Register. The Comptroller and the Corporation must consult each other before publishing their lists. Any OTS rule that was only proposed before the transfer becomes a proposed rule of the new agency as appropriate. Any OTS interim or final rule that was published but not yet effective becomes an effective rule of the new agency unless it is later changed.
