Circular No. 6ty-k6
February 26 , 1969

To the Chief Executive Officer of the Treasury
Tax and Loan Account Depositary Addressed:

As you are aware, all depositary banks are presently authorized to
maintain Treasury Tax and Loan Accounts by the execution of the applica­
tion Form H-5, J-5* This form limits the dollar amount that may be on
deposit at any one time, and designates specific officers authorized to
handle collateral transactions in the account. These limitations have
created some problems over the years.
The Treasury Department has now given the Federal Reserve Banks
more latitude in qualifying banks as depositaries for Treasury Tax and
Loan Accounts. To take advantage of the greater flexibility permitted
under the regulations, and to reduce the administrative burden on deposi­
tary banks we are requalifying all depositaries at this time. A new
qualification Form FA-1012 is enclosed for this purpose. Please present
the new qualification to your Board of Directors for approval at its
next meeting and return the completed form to this Bank as soon as
possible.
You will note that the resolution has no limitation on the dollar
amount that may be on deposit in the Treasury Tax and Loan Account at
any one time. However, the deposit balance must be fully collateralized
at all times. You will also note that the resolution authorizes each
officer and employee on the official signature card on file with this
Bank to conduct transactions related to the Treasury Tax and Loan Account.
The current revision of Treasury Department Circular No. 92 which
contains the regulations governing special depositaries of public money
and their authorization to maintain Treasury Tax and Loan Accounts is
enclosed for your reference. If you have any questions regarding this
requalification, please let us know.
Yours very truly,
P. E. Coldwell
President
