requirements consistent with safety and soundness, and make other technical and conforming changes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background and Description of Correcting Amendment On December 11, 2020, the OCC
published in the Federal Register a final rule that revises its regulations relating to policies and procedures for corporate activities and transactions involving national banks and Federal savings associations to update and clarify the policies and procedures, eliminate unnecessary requirements consistent with safety and soundness, and make other technical and conforming changes.1 This correcting amendment adds a paragraph to the Effective Date discussion in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section of the final rule that was inadvertently omitted. This paragraph describes the OCCs good cause determination that the quarterly effective date requirement of section 302b of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 RCDRIA 12
U.S.C. 4802b does not apply to the final rule. This correcting amendment also makes three technical changes to the regulatory text of the final rule.
First, it adds a missing comma to the cross reference to 12 U.S.C. 215b, e, and f in paragraph g2iv of 5.33, Business combinations involving a national bank or Federal savings association. Second, it corrects the paragraph designations in paragraph g of 5.58, Pass-through investments by a Federal savings association. Third, it removes the superfluous word to in redesignated paragraph g1 of 5.58.
These last three changes correct typographical errors and do not substantively change the meaning of these provisions.

II. Administrative Law Matters A. Administrative Procedure Act The OCC is issuing this correcting amendment without prior notice and the opportunity for public comment ordinarily prescribed by the Administrative Procedure Act APA.2
Pursuant to section 553bB of the APA, general notice and the opportunity for public comment are not required with respect to a rulemaking when an agency for good cause finds and incorporates the finding and a brief statement of reasons therefor in the rules issued that notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.3 The OCC finds that public notice and comment are unnecessary because this correcting amendment makes technical changes to correct typographical errors in the final rule.
Therefore, the OCC believes it has good cause to dispense with the APA prior notice and public comment process.
The OCC also is issuing this correcting amendment without the delayed effective date ordinarily prescribed by the APA. The APA
requires a 30-day delayed effective date, except for: 1 Substantive rules which grant or recognize an exemption or relieve a restriction; 2 interpretative rules and statements of policy; or 3 as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause.4 Because this correcting amendment makes technical changes to correct typographical errors in the final rule, the OCC believes it has good cause to issue this correcting amendment without a delayed effective date.
B. Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act Pursuant to section 302a of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act RCDRIA,5 in determining the effective date and administrative compliance requirements for new regulations that impose additional reporting, disclosure, or other requirements on insured depository institutions, each Federal banking agency must consider, consistent with the principle of safety and soundness and the public interest, any administrative burdens that such regulations would place on depository institutions, including small depository institutions, and customers of depository institutions, as well as the benefits of such regulations. Because the changes made by this technical 25
