Section 560.35 would require that
savings associations generally use a national or regional index for
adjustable rate mortgages. The savings association must notify the
OTS of its intention to use an internal index and after it has
commenced using the index. The initial notice is significantly more
detailed than the subsequent notice. It must include how the
indices will be derived, how the indices availability and
verifiability will be ensured, and how the indices will be
disclosed to borrowers.
