[ Circular
December 18, 1992 J

REVISED PRICE S C H E D U L E S
To All Depository Institutions, and Others
Concerned, in the Second Federal Reserve District:

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System announced the adop­
tion of new fee schedules, effective January 1, 1993, for services provided by Fed­
eral Reserve Banks; that announcement was sent to you in our Circular No. 10592,
dated November 18, 1992.
Our new price schedule for check services was sent to you with our Circular
No. 10594, dated November 27, 1992. We have also revised several appendices to
other operating circulars to reflect certain other fee schedule changes. Accordingly,
enclosed are copies of (1 ) Appendix E to Operating Circular No. 8 (on wire transfers
of funds); (2) Appendix A to Operating Circular No. 9 (on net settlement arrange­
ments); and (3 ) Appendix 2 to Operating Circular No. 10 (on ACH). Fees for de­
finitive securities safekeeping (Appendix to Operating Circular No. 14) and for
book-entry securities services (Appendix B to Operating Circular No. 21 A) are un­
changed. Please note, however, that the safekeeping of all priced definitive secu­
rities will be eliminated by year-end 1993. For more information about this Bank’s
withdrawal from the priced definitive securities safekeeping service, please see our
announcement dated December 15, 1992.
Questions regarding any of this Bank’s priced services should be directed to
your Account Manager (Tel. No. 212-720-6600 at the Head Office; Tel. No.
716-849-5108 at the Buffalo Branch).

having large and/or variable volumes of deposits, should coordinate the beginning of their transmission within
the window to ensure completion by the closing time. All times are Eastern Time.

closing time for the particular class of deposit. If for any reason we do not notify the sending institution one-half
hour before the final closing time, we will extend the final closing time for that deposit up to one-half hour
beyond the time of notification.
