Amendment of Regulation J
Collection of Checks and Other Items
and Wire Transfers of Funds
February 1984*

1. Effective April 2, 1984, section 210.9(a) is
amended to read as follows:
(a) Cash items. (1) A paying bank be­
comes accountable for the amount of a
cash item received directly or indirectly
from a Reserve Bank, at the close of the
paying bank’s banking day on which it
receives3 the item if it retains the item
after the close of that banking day, un­
less, prior to that time, it pays for the
item by—
(i) debit to an account on the Re­
serve Bank’s books;
(ii) cash; or
(iii) in the discretion of the Reserve
Bank, any other form of payment.
(2) The proceeds of any payment shall
be available to the Reserve Bank by
the close of the Reserve Bank’s bank­

ing day on the banking day of receipt
of the item by the paying bank. If the
banking day of receipt is not a bank­
ing day for the Reserve Bank, pay­
ment shall be made on the next day
that is a banking day for the Reserve
Bank by the close of the Reserve
Bank’s banking day. A paying bank
that closes regularly on a weekday
which is a banking day for the Re­
serve Bank shall either pay on that
day by the close of the Reserve Bank's
banking day for cash items that the
Reserve Bank makes available to the
paying bank on that day, or compen­
sate the Reserve Bank for the value of
the float associated with the items in
accordance with procedures provided
in its Reserve Bank’s operating circu­
lar; in such circumstances, the paying
bank is not considered to receive the
item until its next banking day.
