Effective July 21, 2011, any savings association that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company (SLHC) must provide notice to the Board at least 30 days before declaring a dividend.1 The duty to review and process these notices is one of the new responsibilities the Board assumed on July 21, 2011, as part of the supervisory and rulemaking authority previously held by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) with respect to SLHCs.
