TO THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF EACH MEMBER BANK:
Since 1979, member banks have been subject to certain reporting and
disclosure requirements set forth under the Board’s Regulation O. These requirements
were established in Titles VIII and IX of the Financial Institutions Regulatory and
Interest Rate Control Act of 1978 (FIRA), as amended by the Garn-St. Germain
Depository Institutions Act of 1982.
A copy of form FFIEC 004 is enclosed to assist your bank’s executive
officers and principal shareholders in complying with the requirements set forth in
Regulation O. Please duplicate the form, which has been approved by the Federal
Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), in accordance with your needs.
You should note, however, that executive officers and principal shareholders may provide
the required information on other forms, if they wish.
Executive officers and principal shareholders subject to the
requirements must file annual reports concerning their indebtedness, and
indebtedness of their related interests, to the correspondent banks of the

by January 31

Each member bank should notify its executive officers and the principal
shareholders of the reporting requirements. The persons notified should include any
person who was an executive officer or principal shareholder of the member bank during
the period January 1 to December 31, 1994, since all of these persons are subject to
reporting requirements if they were indebted to a correspondent bank of the member
bank during this period.
Each member bank is also required to make available to its executive
officers and principal shareholders a list of the member bank’s correspondent banks. A
correspondent bank is defined as a bank that maintains one or more correspondent
accounts for a member bank during the calendar year that, aggregated, exceed certain
amounts specified in the regulation.
Form FFIEC 004, or a similar form that is filed by executive officers and
principal shareholders, must be kept on file at the member bank for a period of three
years. These reports are not required to be made available to the public; however, the

reports will be reviewed by examiners during the course of the examination of the
member bank. The reports filed by executive officers and principal shareholders are not
required to be filed with this Reserve Bank or the Regional Administrator of National
Banks.
Any questions your bank may have on the current forms and the regulation
should be directed to Dean Ungar, Senior Examiner, (212) 720-2198, at this Bank.

Sincerely,

Donald T. Vangel
Senior Vice President
