Dear Sir:
There is inclosed, for your information, a copy of a letter to the Assistant
Federal Reserve Agent at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, relating to the
applicability of the Board's waiver of the
requirement for reports of affiliates which
accompanied the Board1s letter of December
21, 1935 (B-1124).
Very truly yours,

S. R. Carpenter,

June 1, 1936.
Mr. R. M. Gidney,
Assistant Federal Reserve Agent,
Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
New York, Now York.
Dear Mr. Gidney:
This refers to your letter of January 10, 1936, and its enclosures, relating to reports of certain affiliates of

Trust

Company and to the applicability of the following paragraph of the
Board's waiver of the requirement for reports of affiliates which
accompanied the Board's letter of December 21, 1935, (B-1124):
"The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System also waives the requirement for the submission
of reports of affiliates in all cases where the affiliate relationship is based solely on ownership or
control of any voting shares of the affiliate by a
member bank as executor, administrator, trustee, receiver, agent, depositary, or in any other fiduciary
capacity, except where such shares are held for the
benefit of all or a majority of the stockholders of
such member banks."
It appears that

Trust Company owns or controls a

portion of the stock of certain affiliates in its individual capacity
and a portion of such stock in fiduciary capacities. Your inquiry
relates specifically to the instances in which neither the shares
held in the trust company's individual capacity nor the shares held
in fiduciary capacities constitute a majority of the voting shares
but the combined holdings amount to a majority of such shares. You
assume that reports are waived in the instances in which the shares
held in fiduciary capacities constitute a majority of the voting

shares although some shares are held by the trust company in its individual capacity.
It is not intended that reports shall be waived in either of
such situations under the above-quoted paragraph of the Board's
waiver. It is, of course, possible that other paragraphs of the
Board's waiver are applicable and that the reports are waived thereunder. Please advise




Trust Company accordingly.
Very truly yours,

(Signed) Chester Morrill

Secretary.
