(3) Oral reports. Required reports may be made orally in emergency cases, such as when it is likely that evidence or witnesses will become unavailable before a written report can be made; or where other circumstances dictate an immediate referral. In such cases, the report shall be documented by later completion and filing of the prescribed form(s), if required under paragraph (d)(2) of this section.

(4) Notification of the Board of Directors. The chief executive officer of the insured institution or his designee shall notify the board of directors concerning any report filed pursuant to this paragraph (d)(4) by the institution or a service corporation in which it has an ownership interest not later than its next regularly schedule meeting following the filing of the report.
