RESERVE REQUIREMENTS
Expiration of Transitional Adjustment Period
for Nonmember Institutions

To All Nonmember Banks, Thrift Institutions,
and Credit Unions in the Second Federal Reserve District:
On Wednesday, September 9, 1987, the final transitional period for adjust­
ment by nonmember institutions to full required reserves, as provided in Section
2 0 4 .4 (a ) of Federal Reserve Regulation D, will expire. This transitional adjustment
period applied to depository institutions that were engaged in business prior to July
1, 1979 and that were not then and have not since become members of the Federal
Reserve System. Such institutions were required to satisfy a reserve requirement
for the first time under the terms of the Monetary Control Act of 1980, but were
permitted to “phase-in” this new requirement according to a seven-year transitional
adjustment schedule.
Beginning September 10, 1987, nonmember depository institutions will be
required to maintain the full amount of their required reserves. As a result, most
institutions in this class will experience an increase in their reserve requirements.
Some institutions that have in the past satisfied their entire requirement with vault
cash may be required to maintain reserve balances at this Bank or with a pass­
through correspondent. Institutions that will need to establish an account relation­
ship to satisfy reserve requirements, or that require information on reserve require­
ments, should contact, at the Head Office, Donald R. Anderson, Manager,
Accounting Department (Tel. No. 212-720-5250) or Anthony Fressola, Chief,
Accounting Control Division (Tel. No. 212-720-5803) or, at the Buffalo Branch,
Gary S. Weintraub, Cashier (Tel. No. 716-849-5020) or Philip G. Coletti, Chief,
Central Operations Division (Tel. No. 716-849-5064).
