RB 1	07/29/1988	Regulatory Bulletin Series - Introduction to Regulatory Bulletins	05/17/2012	Outdated¹

The reason each document is rescinded is noted as one of the following:

¹ Outdated – The document is no longer needed. Any attachments to the document are rescinded only as they relate to national banks and federal savings associations.

² Duplicative – The document transmitted interagency guidance that was issued jointly with the OCC. The rescission applies to the transmitting document only and not the attached interagency guidance. Thrifts are directed to use the OCC-issued document.

³ Conveyance – The document is a cover letter that merely conveyed another document. The rescission does not change the applicability of the conveyed document. To determine the applicability of the conveyed document, please refer to the original issuer of the document.

⁴ Replaced – The document and any attachments are superseded by OCC guidance.

* The following Regulatory Bulletins related to savings and loan holding companies (SLHC) were active as of July 21, 2011. The OCC does not supervise SHLCs; please consult the Federal Reserve Board for guidance in this area:

RB 35 – Large and Complex Enterprises, and
RB 35-01 – Holding Companies Handbook Update.
