Comments/Notes on Adjudication Structure:
An appointed "presiding officer" hears the case, then the OCC makes a decision. An aggrieved bank can appeal that decision either to the Deputy Comptroller for Licensing or to the Ombudsman.
If the Deputy Comptroller for Licensing is conflicted in a licensing appeal case, then that appeal is transferred to the agency's Chief Counsel. 12 C.F.R. § 5.13(f).
