Circular No. 83-132
October 28, 1983

FEE SCHEDULE FOR COMMERCIAL CHECK SERVICES
TO ALL DEPOSITORY INSTITUTIONS IN THE
ELEVENTH FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICT:
Attached are the schedules of deposit deadlines and new fees for
check collection services available to depositors in the Eleventh Federal Reserve
District. These check prices will become effective December 1, 1983.
This schedule retains all of the deposit options currently available to
your institution. The only pricing structure change will be the addition of a cash
letter fee for country group sort items deposited at the Dallas office.
With implementation of this new fee schedule, the Federal Reserve
will have fulfilled the requirement of the Monetary Control Act to include the
cost of check float, at the federal funds rate, in check prices. Other steps taken
this year to deal with check float include the July 1 implementation of new
crediting procedures designed to eliminate or price interterritory check
transportation float and, since August 1, the implementation of one-day deferral
of credit on interterritory return items. We believe that the overall increase in
fees is modest, particularly considering that these fees include the first full
recovery of float costs.
The new fee schedule is projected to fully recover all operating and
float costs, as well as the private sector adjustment factor, throughout 1984.
Prices are expected to remain at this level for the next year.
Availability schedules and prices for interterritory check collection
services offered by other Federal Reserve Banks are available upon request.
These include the direct send service, where a depository institution arranges its
own transportation to another Federal Reserve office, and the consolidated
shipment service, where the depository institution deposits items at the local
Reserve Bank for shipment to other Federal Reserve offices using our
transportation network.
