Second Supplement to

(Revised June 29, 1988)

Revised effective August 1, 1990

WIRE TRANSFERS OF FUNDS
Time Schedule and Additional Terms
To All Depository Institutions in the Second
Federal Reserve District, and Others Concerned:

As indicated in our Circular No. 10348, dated May 11, 1990, the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has established uniform operating
hours for Fedwire funds transfers. Accordingly, effective August 1, 1990, par­
agraphs 2 and 3 of Appendix A to this Bank’s Operating Circular No. 8 have
been amended to read as follows:
Opening hours
2. This Bank accepts transfer items (on-line instructions) beginning at
8:30 a.m., Eastern Time, and transfer requests (telephonic instructions) beginning
at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time. In unusual circumstances, and in our discretion, we
may accept transfer items and requests before those times.
Closing hours
3. This Bank accepts transfer items (on-line instructions) until 6:00 p.m.,
Eastern Time, and transfer requests (telephonic instructions) until 5:30 p.m., East­
ern Time, each business day. In its discretion, this Bank may accept transfer items
and requests after those times, but the completion of interdistrict transfers is also
at the discretion of the transferee’s Reserve Bank.
Paragraph 4 has been deleted entirely; and paragraph 5 has been amended
to include a reference to net settlement arrangements authorized by a Reserve
Bank to use settlement transfers identified with a type code 16, as follows:




Settlement transfers
5. This Bank accepts settlement transfer items (on-line instructions) until
6:30 p.m., Eastern Time, and settlement transfer requests (telephonic instructions)
until 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, each business day. A settlement transfer is a transfer
between a transferor and a transferee (a) for their own accounts, or (b) for the ac­
count on the books of the transferor or the transferee of (i) a respondent that is
(OVER)

subject to Federal Reserve reserve requirements (whether or not such respondent
actually maintains reserves), (ii) a participant in the Clearing House Interbank
Payments System operated by the New York Clearing House Association, or (iii)
a participant in a net settlement arrangement authorized by a Federal Reserve Bank
to use settlement transfers identified with a type code 16. A settlement transfer
must be identified with type code 16, and may contain third-party information re­
lating only to such respondents or participants, or to the transferor or transferee.
This Bank reserves the right, in its discretion, to refuse to handle a transfer that
is received during the settlement period but that does not comply with the require­
ments for transfers during such period. This Bank also may, in its discretion, ac­
cept settlement transfer items and requests after those times, but the completion
of interdistrict settlement transfers is also at the discretion of the transferee’s Re­
serve Bank.
In paragraph 6, the parenthetical reference to interdistrict, intradistrict,
and settlement transfers has been eliminated. Accordingly, that paragraph has
been revised to read as follows:




Requests for payment
6 . This Bank accepts requests for payment until the closing hour for the type
of transfer requested as set forth in paragraphs 3 and 5 above. However, originators
are responsible for allowing sufficient time for receivers to respond within these
closing hours.

President.
