However, Reserve Banks will not observe a holiday on the preceding Friday if a holiday falls on a Saturday, in keeping with Texas and New Mexico state law for commercial financial institutions. Louisiana law allows commercial financial institutions the option of a Friday holiday but does not mandate it. Federal Reserve Operating Circulars and Subpart B of Regulation J provide for settlement of electronic payments (funds and securities transfers and ACH) on the date the item is processed (funds and securities) or the date specified in the item (ACH) if the Reserve Banks are open. Therefore, wire transfers of funds and securities received by Eleventh District financial institutions on Friday, July 3, 1992, will be posted and settled to the account of the receiving financial institution. ACH items scheduled for settlement on Friday, July 3, 1992, will be settled as scheduled. Financial institutions observing July 3 as a holiday should not negotiate transfers of securities to settle that day. However, should securities be received for an online financial institution, the receiver’s account will be charged unless this Bank has been notified otherwise. Trans fers of securities received for online financial institutions will not be accepted without prior authorization. Eleventh District financial institutions wishing to conduct wire transfer of funds, securities, or ACH items on Friday, July 3, 1992, will be able to connect to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and its branches and For additional copies, bankers and others are encouraged to use one of the following toll-free numbers in contacting the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas: Dallas Office (800) 333-4460; El Paso Branch Intrastate (800) 592-1631, Interstate (800) 351-1012; Houston Branch Intrastate (800) 392-4162, Interstate (800) 221-0363; San Antonio Branch Intrastate (800) 292-5810.
