(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, the Division Director may approve a conversion of a savings and loan association to a capital stock association that deviates from the standard requirements of this title if the circumstances of the conversion would, under federal law, permit the Federal Home Loan Bank Board to authorize a modified conversion.

(iii) The association will be viable after the conversion; and

(i) Procedures for application and approval; and
