for the account on the books of the transferor or the transferee of a respondent subject to Federal
Reserve requirements (whether or not such respondent actually maintains reserves). A settlement
transfer must be identified with type code 16, and may contain third-party information relating only to
such respondents or to the transferor or transferee. Settlement transfers may be used to make or to ad­
just for net settlement transactions. We reserve the right, in our discretion, to refuse to handle a transfer
that is received during the settlement period but that does not comply with the requirements for transfers
during such period. We also may, in our discretion, accept settlement transfer items and requests after
these times, but the completion of interdistrict settlement transfers is also at the discretion of the
transferee’s Reserve Bank. Immediate telephone advice is not provided for settlement transfers.
