The NJRCPC will commence limited operations on Thursday, April 12, 1973, and will be located at 2 Jackson Drive, Cranford, N. J. 07016. The NJRCPC will process all eligible cash items drawn on its participating banks. It will also accept from its participating member banks cash items for processing by, or for forwarding to, the Head Office of this Bank. We have established the following implementation schedule in order to provide for an orderly transition to full operations at the NJRCPC — (a) From April 12 through 25, the Center will accept, from banks that are now members of the Bergen County Clearing Bureau, deposits of checks drawn only on other members of the Bureau. (A fter April 11, cash letters should not be delivered to the Bergen County Clearing Bureau, Paramus, N. J.) (b) Beginning April 26, the Center will accept deposits of cash items from all New Jersey banks eligible to participate in the NJRCPC. (c) Beginning in late May or early June, the Center will accept deposits from other Second District banks, other Federal Reserve Banks, other RCPCs, and direct-sending banks in other Federal Reserve Districts. Notification of the actual dates will be furnished at a later time. Beginning April 26, participating member banks in the NJRCPC may, if they wish, deliver cash letters addressed to our Head Office to the NJRCPC for forwarding to the Head Office. Those banks participating in consolidated shipments of interdistrict items should continue to make such deposits at the Head Office. Enclosed are copies of the following documents relating to the establishment of the NJRCPC: Appendix No. 1-B (North Jersey Regional Cheek Processing Center (NJRCPC) Time Sched ule), Effective April 12, 1973 and terminating April 25, 1973, to Operating Circular No. 5.
