Effective September 27, 1962, section 210.2(a) is amended to read
as follows:
SECTION 210.2 — GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
(a) In pursuance of the authority vested in it under these provisions
of law, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, desiring to
afford both to the public and to the various banks of the country a direct,
expeditious, and economical system of check collection and settlement of
balances, has arranged to have each Federal Reserve bank exercise the
functions of a clearing house and collect checks for such of its member

section 13 to send items to Federal Reserve banks for purposes of
exchange or of collection. Such nonmember banks and trust companies
will hereinafter be referred to as nonmember clearing banks.
