Accessibility

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is committed to making our sites accessible to all users, including those with disabilities in accordance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. The OCC takes efforts to publish only material that is fully accessible. Should you encounter material on any OCC Web Site that you cannot use or access due to a disability, please send an e-mail message to OCC Accessibility Office for assistance.

Plug-Ins to free applications

The OCC publishes documents and files in several proprietary formats. In order to open and use many of these files it may require special software be installed on your computer known commonly as “plug-ins”. Section 508 requires that when special software is required to access these documents and files, OCC shall provide a link that allows a user to obtain the required plug-ins. When selecting any of the sites to visit, you will be leaving the OCC Government Web site for a non-Government Web Site. The OCC does not endorse these Web sites, but provides them only to support accessibility requirements.
