Effective immediately the E.3.4 statistical release (Assets and

data as of September 30, 1978.

same frequency (quarterly) and in a similar format. It will carry the

Recipients of FR 40 Statistical Release

FROM:

Data Services Section
Federal Reserve Board

Effective immediately the E.3.4 release (Assets and Liabilities,
Commercial Banks by Class of Bank) will no longer be published in its
current form but will be replaced by the FR 40. The last E.3.4 publi­
cationcontained data as of September 30, 1978.
The FR 40 release (Asset Items, Liabilities and Capital Accounts
by Class of Bank, Summary Report of Condition) contains data very
comparable to the E. 3.4. It is also released with the same frequency
(quarterly) and in a similar format.
As in the case of the E.3.4, the last FR 40 data released were
data as of September 30, 1978. While final data have recently been
released for later quarters, the large number of Call report changes .have
delayed the publication of future FR 40 releases until early March 1981.
Data in similar form are available, however, in the October 1980 and
December 1980 issues of the Federal Reserve Bulletin.
There is one important change regarding the E.3.4 and FR 40
releases* The FR 40 will now assume the symbol of the E.3.4 release and
will hereafter be referred to as the E.3.4 statistical release.
