On January 17, 2017, the OCC launched the agency's new
web-based Central Application Tracking System (CATS). The system
will assist authorized national banks, federal savings associations
and federal branches and agencies with drafting, submission and
tracking of licensing and public welfare investment applications
and notices. CATS also allows OCC analysts to receive, process and
manage those applications and notices. CATS replaces e-Corp and
CD-1 Invest, the current OCC electronic filing systems.
The OCC plans to roll out institutions' access to CATS in
three phases. The first phase includes banks that are frequent
electronic filers with the OCC. The second and third phases of the
roll-out of CATS are scheduled to begin in spring 2017. OCC staff
will notify institutions regarding the date of their access to CATS
several weeks before such access is available.
