Public Comments on Applications

Written comments on a corporate filing should be submitted to the Licensing Office where the bank filed the original application.  For more information, refer to the “Public Comment” section in the Public Notice and Comments (PDF) booklet in the Comptroller's Licensing Manual.

To view the public comment period end date for a filing by a national bank for a merger, consolidation, or purchase and assumption, see the Weekly Merger Public Comment Period Report (PDF).
