To A ll D ep o sito ry Institutions, an d oth ers C on cern ed,
in the Secon d F e d era l R eserve D istrict:

To implement new wire-chargeback procedures affecting return items and
cash letter adjustments of $50,000 and over, Operating Circular No. 4 is
amended, effective September 20, 1982, as follows:
1. Subparagraph (c) of paragraph 45 is amended to read as follows:
45. We assume no responsibility for:
* * *
(c) giving wire advice of nonpayment, as distinguished from wire chargeback,
unless we receive wire advice of nonpayment from another bank.

2. The following new paragraph is added after paragraph 45:
45 A. When a cash item is returned, we may wire chargeback7 to the sender of the
original cash item in an amount of $50,000 or over involving two Reserve offices,
based on receipt by the paying bank’s Reserve office of the return item or on action to
recover its payment by the paying bank. We charge the sender of the original cash item
and credit or give refund to the paying or collecting bank accordingly. Wire
chargeback contains the same information as wire advice of nonpayment, but indicates
that the item has been charged back. The sender should reconcile the wire chargeback
with the return item and any wire advice of nonpayment it may receive.
7 For purposes of wire chargeback, “wire” includes telephone and other forms of
electronic telecommunications.
