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.
The OCC bulletin regarding the new system is available at: https://www.occ.gov/news-issuances/bulletins/2016/bulletin-2016-37.html .
