To A ll Depository Institutions in the Second

Effective July 1, 1981, Operating Circular No. 8, Revised effective
November 13, 1980, is amended as follows:
1. Paragraph 9 is amended by adding the following sentence at
the beginning thereof :

paym ent described in paragraph 10A. . . .

10, as follows:
Requests for payment
10A. A request for paym ent is a m essage sent by an institution
authorized to be a transferee, requesting an institution authorized to be
a transferor to send a transfer item to the transferor’s Reserve Bank for
credit to the institution requesting the paym ent. W e handle a request
for payment, or a negative response, involving only on-line institutions,
subject to our time and fee schedules, and w ithout transferring funds.
A request for paym ent is not an item and in itself imposes no obligation
on the recipient to respond.

the end thereof:
W e do not give telephone advice of credit for a transfer, identified as
a settlem ent transfer, betw een a transferor or transferee for their own

transferor, unless the transferee has given a standing order for advice
of all transfers of funds.
