NEW FEE SCHEDULE FOR FEDERAL RESERVE
CHECK CLEARING SERVICES
Effective April 1, 1982

To the C hief Executive Officers o f All Depository Institutions
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

This Bank has made changes in its fee schedule for commercial check services. The changes will take effect on
April 1, 1982, and relate to group sort deposits, package sort deposits, and nonmachinable cash letter deposits. Other
check clearing and collection service prices in this District will remain unchanged from the fee schedule contained in
our Circular No. 9046, dated April 2, 1981.
The current prices for commercial check services were published in March 1981 and became effective August 1,
1981, when open access to and pricing of check collection services began. Those prices were based on estimates of
direct and indirect operating costs for check collection in 1981 plus a 16 percent private sector adjustment factor
applied to all costs except shipping, which is provided by private companies. The prices were developed using a
standardized methodology for all Federal Reserve offices.
After six months’ experience with priced check services, the Reserve Banks have revised some of their fees to
reflect more accurately the costs associated with their services as well as customer use of individual Reserve Bank
services. The variation among Districts in the new fee schedule reflects these considerations.
The new price schedule is included in the table printed on the reverse side of this circular. Two general changes
should be noted. First, there will now be two prices for nonmachinable deposits: (1) the local nonmachinable per item
price for handling such items drawn on institutions within the local Federal Reserve office territory, and (2) a new
“ other Fed’’ nonmachinable per item price for such items drawn on institutions located in any other Federal Reserve
office territory. Such items are handled twice within the System, and this new price corrects an oversight in the
original fee schedule. Second, a combination price will now be charged for package sort deposits: a price for each
payor end-point within each package deposit and a price for each item in the deposit. This change will ensure
recovery of the cost of handling the package deposit, regardless of the number of items included.
Questions concerning these changes and the new prices should be directed to Janet L. Wynn, Operations
Analysis Officer (Tel. No. 212-791-6551).
