Section 1, DEFINITIONS
1.00 AC 8 Report
“AC 8 Report” means the Report of Deposits
and Related Data, Form AC 8, sufficient copies
of which are annually supplied to member banks
and extra copies of which may be obtained from
this bank as needed.
1.05 Base Period
“Base Period” means the seven-day reserve com­
putation period which ends at the close of busi­
ness each Wednesday and for which the AC 8
Report is submitted.
1.10 Related Reserve Period
“Related Reserve Period” means the seven-day
reserve computation period beginning eight cal­
endar days and ending fourteen calendar days
after the close of the Base Period. It is the period
during which the reserve requirements com­
puted from the AC 8 Report for the Base Period
must be maintained.
1.15 Reference to Bulletin 1
Several definitions, rules of construction, and
other provisions applicable to this bulletin are
found in our Bulletin 1, “General Provisions,”
and are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2, REFERENCES
Section 204.1 of Regulation D defines:
(1) various classes of deposits
(2) cash items in process of collection
(3) net demand deposits
(4) currency and coin
(5) balances subject to immediate withdrawal
due from other banks.
The instructions for preparation of reports of
condition issued by the banking supervisory
authorities contain definitions concerning U.S.
Government demand deposits.

Section 3, AC 8 REPORT
3.00 Submission of AC 8 Report
Each member bank shall send this bank a weekly
AC 8 Report. This Report should be sent as soon

as practicable after the close of business each
Wednesday.
3.05 AC 8 Report determines reserve
requirement
The AC 8 Report of a member bank will deter­
mine the amount of reserves required to be
maintained in its reserve balance for the Related
Reserve Period. As provided in Section 204.3(a)
(1) of Regulation D, the reserve requirements of
member banks are determined on the basis of
average daily net deposit balances and average
daily currency and coin during the Base Period,
as set out in the AC 8 Report for that period.
3.10 Determination of balances at close of the
banking day
The balance for each day should reflect the bal­
ance at the close of business that day. The
balance for a non-banking day will be identical
with the balance for the immediately preceding
banking day. We compute each member bank’s
balance with us at our close of business each
day.
3.15 Correct completion of AC 8 Report
This form includes references in each column to
corresponding items and schedules in the call
reports of condition. The figures for U.S. Gov­
ernment demand deposits should include bal­
ances in the Treasury Tax and Loan Account,
the Series E bond account, and Savings note ac­
count, as well as all demand deposits of public
monies made by or for the account of the United
States or any department, bureau, or official
thereof. Amounts reportable as currency and
coin (column 9) should include currency and
coin in transit to or from us.

Section 4, RESERVE COMPUTATION
4.00 How to compute reserves
The formula provided in Supplement A is for
use as a guide in determining the amount of re­
serves a member bank must maintain with us.
Items are referenced to the call reports of con­
dition. Member banks should maintain current
computations of their required reserves so that
they will be aware of their required reserve
position.

BULLETIN 4

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF DALLAS

4.05 Period to which computation applies
The reserve computation made by a member
bank represents the reserves required to be main­
tained during the Related Reserve Period, the
second reserve computation period following the
Base Period.
4.10 Reserve balance
The reserve balance of a member bank shall
consist of the member bank’s average daily bal­
ance with this bank at the close of business each
day during the Related Reserve Period and the
average daily amount of currency and coin held
by the member bank at the close of each banking
day during the Base Period.

Section 5, PENALTIES
5.00 Penalties for reserve deficiencies
Member banks will be notified in writing of any
reserve deficiency. Any excess or deficiency of a
member bank’s required reserves will be carried
forward to the following reserve computation
period to the extent such excess or deficiency
does not exceed 2% of the reserves required in
the Related Reserve Period in which the excess
or deficiency occurred. Any excess or deficiency
greater than 2% will not be carried forward.

Any portion of the 2% allowable excess or de­
ficiency not offset in the immediately following
reserve computation period may not be again
carried forward to subsequent computation per­
iods.
5.05 Assessment of penalties
A deficiency penalty will be assessed on the 25th
day of the month following the month in which
one or more reserve deficiencies are incurred.
If the 25th day of the month is on a non-banking
day, the penalty will be assessed on the first
banking day preceding the 25th.
5.10 Penalty rate
Penalties are assessed at a rate of 2% per annum
greater than the current discount rate, as stated
in the Supplement A to Bulletin 2 in effect on
the first day of the calendar month in which
the deficiency or deficiencies occurred.
5.15 Waiver of penalties
This bank has discretionary power to waive pen­
alties for deficiencies, and such power shall be
exercised on a case-by-case basis with particular
attention given to instances in which the penalty
would be small and the member bank is making
appropriate efforts to maintain adequate reserves.
