        <RULE_TITLE>Securities-Related Activities of Savings Associations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[OTS is proposing to reduce regulatory burden by updating and revising its rules on securities-related activities of savings associations.  First, the proposed rule describes the existing authority of Federal savings associations to engage in various securities broker, dealer, and underwriting activities under the Home Owners' Loan Act (HOLA).  This description should reduce compliance burdens by making OTS positions regarding the permissibility of these activities readily available to all.

OTS is also updating the existing prohibition on the sale of debt and equity securities issued by a savings association or its affiliate at the offices of a savings association.  This change will reduce burden on savings associations by adding new exceptions and by eliminating consumer protection rules that overlap, and in some cases conflict, with other Agency guidance.  Finally, the proposed rule would eliminate various obsolete OTS securities activity regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>
