Reserve Bank Organization Committee

The Reserve Bank Organization Committee was established by the Federal Reserve Act (38 Stat. 251), December 23, 1913. It was composed of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Comptroller of the Currency. The RBOC designated the federal reserve cities, divided the United States into federal reserve districts, supervised the organization of federal reserve banks, and prescribed regulations for the acceptance of the Federal Reserve Act by all national banking associations and participating banks. It was discontinued after May 1914.
