Final Notice Of Merger Or Consolidation Out Page 2

If a notice is required, the applicant must publish notice of the proposed merger or consolidation

in a newspaper of general circulation in the community or communities in which the applicant

proposes to engage in business. The OCC will provide specific requirements for the notice of

publication.

Submission

In addition to an original and the appropriate number of signed copies, submit an electronic copy

of the information in the notice, especially of the business plan’s financial projections, if

applicable. For e-mail submissions, contact the OCC for instructions and information about

secure transmission of confidential material.

Confidentiality

Any applicant desiring confidential treatment of specific portions of the notice must submit a

request in writing with the notice. The request must discuss the justification for the requested

treatment. The applicant’s reasons for requesting confidentiality should specifically demonstrate

the harm (for example, loss of competitive position, invasion of privacy) that would result from

public release of information (5 USC 552 or relevant state law). Information for which

confidential treatment is requested should be (1) specifically identified in the public portion of

the notice (by reference to the confidential section); (2) separately bound; and (3) labeled

“Confidential.” The applicant should follow the same procedure when requesting confidential

treatment for the subsequent filing of supplemental information to the notice. Contact the OCC

for any further questions regarding requests for confidential treatment.
