FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF SMEW YORK

NONSTANDARD HOLIDAYS
To A ll Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

As provided in our Operating Circular No. 4, a Reserve Bank may charge a paying institution for checks deliv­
ered or made available to institutions closed regularly on a weekday when its Reserve Bank is open. Paying institu­
tions have the alternative of being charged for the value of the float associated with the checks rather than being
charged for the value of the checks.
These provisions do not, however, affect financial institutions closed for a nonstandard State or local holiday on
which the local Reserve Bank is open. While cash letter charges to payor banks closed on such holidays will continue
to be deferred, Reserve Banks, in order to eliminate the float, will defer credit to depositing institutions for items
drawn on institutions closed on nonstandard holidays.
As announced on July 5, 1984, the Federal Reserve Banks have implemented procedures for charging back
nonstandard holiday float. A list of all nonstandard holidays for 1985, and the routing symbols involved, is printed on
the reverse side hereof.
When a nonstandard holiday occurs, credit for checks received in Mixed and Other Fed cash letters drawn on
closed banking institutions will initially be given as usual. However, debit as-of adjustments will be issued for the
total amount of these items on the following business day.
Participants in the Consolidated Shipment and Direct Send programs will receive credit for the full amount of
the cash letters as listed on the rainbow sheets and will receive a debit as-of adjustment for the total dollar amount of
the items in the cash letters drawn on the closed institutions.
Corresponding delays will occur in the return of unpaid items and in the forwarding of advices of nonpayment of
such items drawn on institutions observing these holidays.
Please contact your local Federal Reserve office if you have questions concerning these or other holiday
closings. In this District, you may contact:
