ADDRESS OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE T O
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

SUBJECT:

Reprinting and revision of
Board1s regulations.

Dear Sir:
In view of the amendments to the law contained in the Banking
Act of 1955, the Board is having revisions of the following regulations
prepared:
Regulation A - Discounts under Sections 13 and 13a.
(Will also include provisions re advances under Section 10(b) as amended.)
Regulation D - Reserves of member banks.
Regulation H - Membership of State banks and trust companies.
Regulation I - Increase or decrease of capital stock of Federal Reserve banks and cancellation of old
and issue of new stock certificates.
Regulation L - Interlocking bank directorates and other
relationships under the Clayton Act.
Regulation P - Holding company affiliates - voting permits.
Regulation Q - Payment of interest on deposits.

benefit of their criticisms and suggestions and drafts of the others listed
above will be sent to them as soon as they are ready*
In view of the fact that the Banking Act of 1935 changed the
Board's name to "Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System", the
Board is also considering the advisability of reprinting all of its other
regulations but knows of no special reason for amending or revising them
at this time.

However, the Board would appreciate advice from you at your

earliest convenience as to whether you or the officers of your bank know of
any important reason why any of the existing regulations other than those
listed above should bo amended or revised before they are reprinted.

If

you feel that any of them should be amended or revised, the Board would be
glad to receive your suggestions as to the respects in which they should
be changed.
Of course Regulation M will be superseded by a new regulation to
be issued by the Federal Open Market Committee after March 1, 1956.
Very truly yours,

Chester Morrill,
Secretary.

TO CHAIRMEN OF ALL FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
