The public notice must include: the statement required by Rule 0180-5-.02; the name and present location of the branch or main office; and, the name and proposed new location of the branch or main office upon relocation. Anyone desiring to comment on or to protest the application/notification may do so in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 0180-7-.02(8).(4) The Commissioner shall have such investigation and examination conducted with respect to the application/notification as he or she may require.(5) The Commissioner shall make a determination on the application/notification on the basis of the factors set forth in T.C.A. § 45-2-218; he or she shall send written notice of the decision on the application/notification to the applicant bank.(6) Banks with a regulatory rating of one (1) or two (2) may file written notification of a main office or branch relocation. A copy of the clipping evidencing public notice must be furnished to the Department. The relocation will be deemed approved at the expiration of the public notice comment period as provided by Rule 0180-5-.02, unless the commissioner objects, or requests additional information. If the commissioner requests additional information prior to the expiration of the public comment period, the commissioner shall then have fifteen (15) calendar days from the receipt of the additional information in which to act upon the notification for relocation.(7) For an application to relocate a branch or main office from any other bank, the application shall be deemed to have been approved by the commissioner unless disapproved within ninety (90) calendar days after the submission of the application.
