DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 305

The Off‌i ce of the Comptroller of the

Currency (OCC) was created February

25, 1863 (12 Stat. 665), as a bureau

of the Department of the Treasury. Its

primary mission is to regulate national

banks. The Off‌i ce is headed by the

Comptroller, who is appointed for a

5-year term by the President with the

advice and consent of the Senate. In July

2011, the Off‌i ce of Thrift Supervision

was integrated into the OCC, along with

the responsibility for the supervision of

Federal savings associations.

The OCC regulates national banks

and Federal savings associations through

its power to examine banks; approve or

deny applications for new bank charters,

branches, or mergers; take enforcement

actions—such as bank closures—against

banks that are not in compliance with

laws and regulations; and issue rules,

regulations, and interpretations on

banking practices.

The OCC supervises approximately

1,900 national banks, Federal savings

associations, and Federal branches,

including their trust activities and

overseas operations. Each bank is

examined by a nationwide staff of

approximately 2,500 bank examiners

who are supervised by four district

off‌i ces. The OCC is independently

funded through assessments of bank

assets.
