THE

ECONOMIC

1988

The economy expanded at a somewhat accelerated pace in the first half of 1987, and the civilian
unemployment rate declined over the period to
6.1 percent in June, the lowest level in this
decade. Moreover, the pattern of activity has
exhibited encouraging signs that a turnaround in
the trade sector is under way. An improvement
in net exports in real terms appears to be providing a lift to activity in the industrial sector,
offsetting slower growth of domestic spending
and sustaining a moderate rise in overall domestic production. However, the process of restoring balance to the U.S. external accounts has
involved a sizable increase in the prices paid for
imported goods. These price increases have occurred at the same time that a rebound in world
oil prices has been carrying inflation rates above
last year's modest pace.
Although some of the elements necessary for
sustaining economic growth are now beginning to
fall into place, the economic outlook continues to
be clouded by a number of imbalances, risks, and
uncertainties. The experience of the first half
underscored, in particular, the dangers associated with a loss of market confidence in the dollar
and the related potential for a rekindling of
inflation expectations. The Federal Reserve, in
implementing monetary policy, was sensitive to
these dangers, while it continued to provide
support for sustainable economic growth. During

the first part of the year, growth in money and
credit slowed from the rapid pace of 1986, even
though pressures on the reserve positions of
depository institutions remained mild. Those
pressures were increased somewhat in late April
and May, however, as the dollar fell sharply
against other key currencies, inflation expectations flared up, and long-term interest rates
jumped to higher levels. In response to these
steps, and to complementary policy actions
taken abroad, the dollar has stabilized, and interest rates have retreated somewhat from their
May highs.
If the nation is to achieve an orderly transition
to better external balance, one marked by a
minimum of financial or inflationary pressures,
responsible action by many parties—in addition
to |he Federal Reserve—will be necessary. Further progress in reducing our federal budget
deficit is essential: a failure to achieve this oftenstated objective could only damage confidence in
our ability to deal with our economic problems
and contribute to imbalances in financial markets
and the economy. In addition, satisfactory
growth in the other major industrial countries is
crucial, as are efforts on all sides to maintain
and improve the openness of the international
marketplace. The private sector also must
play a constructive role by remaining sensitive
to wage and price practices that promote the
international competitiveness of American business.
Economic

and Financial

Background

The economic expansion has now progressed
well into its fifth year. Real gross national product rose at a 43A percent annual rate in the first
quarter. However, much of the increase in production reflected a rebuilding of business inventories that had been drawn down late in 1986, and
real GNP appears to have increased at an appreciably more moderate pace in the second quarter.

634

Federal Reserve Bulletin • August 1987

Nonetheless, growth remained strong enough to
sustain a downtrend in unemployment.
Beneath these solid gains in aggregate economic activity have been welcome improvements in the fortunes of sectors that have failed
to participate in the increasing prosperity of the
past several years. As suggested above, the most
significant development has been the emerging
improvement in the nation's trade performance,
which has begun to close the gap between the
pace of growth in the industrial sector and in the
rest of the economy; indeed, some segments of
manufacturing have reached relatively high levels of capacity utilization and strong profitability.
Economic strains also appear to be easing in
other troubled sectors. Oil-well drilling, while
still at depressed levels, has turned up as a
consequence of the firming of world oil prices.
Agricultural income was quite high last year,
although it continued to be heavily dependent on
government support; farmland values seem to
have stabilized, and the amount of delinquent
farm loans has begun to decline.
While the external sector has been strengthening in real terms in recent quarters, growth in
domestic demand has moderated considerably.
To some extent, the slower rise in household and
business purchases in the early months of this
year was a reflection of the acceleration that had
occurred at the end of 1986, motivated by tax
considerations. However, consumers, in particular, have shown signs of less exuberance in their
expenditure patterns after a period of several
years in which their willingness to spend increasing proportions of their income provided considerable thrust to business activity. A moderation
of domestic spending growth is, of course, a
fundamental ingredient in achieving better external balance without putting excessive strains on
available resources.
A key element in the recent trade developments has been the steep drop in the foreign
exchange value of the dollar—almost 40 percent
on a trade-weighted basis against the currencies
of the other Group of Ten countries—since early
1985. That decline, in conjunction with notable
restraint on labor costs, has greatly enhanced the
competitiveness of U.S. producers in international markets. At the same time, though, the




depreciation has caused prices of imported goods
to increase—sharply in some cases—and has
exacerbated a bulge in prices coming from higher
energy costs. The rise in consumer prices, averaging more than 5 percent at an annual rate over
the first five months of this year, was a disturbing
departure from recent experience. Moreover, as
the dollar exhibited continued weakness in the
early spring, and with progress toward improvement in the U.S. current account slower than
many had anticipated, concerns mounted about
inflation prospects. This was reflected for a time
in rising prices of precious metals and other
actively traded commodities, an event that only
served to reinforce the inflation fears that simultaneously were unsettling U.S. securities markets.
In these circumstances, and with the economic
advance evidencing reasonable momentum, the
Federal Reserve in late April and May adjusted
its open market operations to impose a somewhat
greater, but still quite limited, degree of pressure
on the reserve positions of depository institutions. This step was reassuring to the markets.
Coupled with complementary actions by monetary authorities abroad and more favorable news
on prices and U.S. merchandise trade flows, the
firming of money market conditions contributed
not only to a turnaround in the dollar on exchange markets but also to a rally in bond prices.
On balance, however, short-term interest rates
currently are about Vi percentage point above
their levels at the time of the Board's February
monetary policy report to the Congress, and
long-term rates are up about a full percentage
point.
The rate of growth of the money stock measures M2 and M3 has been well below that of last
year and close to, or below, the lower end of the
target ranges adopted in February. This has been
viewed as acceptable by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), given the inflation and
exchange rate developments described above, as
well as indications of greater-than-anticipated
strength in the velocity of money (that is, the
ratio of nominal GNP to money). M2 rose at an
annual rate of only 4 percent between the fourth
quarter and June, appreciably below the growth
range of 51/2 to 8V2 percent for the year, while M3

Monetary

grew at a 5lA percent rate, a shade below the
lower bound of its identical range.
The marked deceleration of monetary growth,
and the accompanying rise in M2 and M3 velocity after two years of decline, reflected a variety
of influences. Some unwinding of the buildup in
balances that occurred late last year in connection with a huge volume of tax-related transactions may have been involved; tax reform also
may have damped growth in money as individuals reduced their additions to deposit holdings
rather than using consumer credit, on which
interest is no longer fully tax-deductible. Capital
constraints on the growth of bank and thrift
institution assets may have limited the depositories' efforts to seek funds, an effect likely to
express itself most fully at the level of M3, which
encompasses a broad range of depository-institution liabilities.
But it is another factor that appeared most
important, particularly in the case of M2.
Changes in deposit rates have lagged changes in
market rates—behavior exhibited quite consistently in the period since most restrictions on
deposit rates were removed. With market rates
rising, financial assets other than those included
in M2 have become relatively more attractive to
the public, the opposite of developments in 1985
and 1986. This same phenomenon, reinforced by
the normal downward adjustment of compensating-balance requirements as rising interest rates
enable banks to earn more on business demand
deposits, has had a marked effect on Ml growth
as well, which slowed to a 10 percent annual rate
between the fourth and second quarters (and to a
73/4 percent rate between the fourth quarter and
June); Ml velocity appears to have changed little
in the second quarter, after more than two years
of steep decline.
Reflecting in large part the diminution of the
federal deficit and a slowing in state and local
government borrowing, influenced by the Tax
Reform Act, aggregate credit expansion in the
economy has slowed noticeably this year. The
debt of domestic nonfinancial sectors is estimated to have expanded at an annual rate of
about 93/4 percent through June, still high relative
to the growth of nominal GNP but less rapid than
in the past several years and within the monitor-

Federal Open Market Committee.
Ranges for Money
1987 and 1988

and Credit

Growth

in

At its meeting earlier this month, the FOMC did
not change the 1987 ranges for money and credit
growth that it had established in February. As
indicated at that time, operating decisions will
continue to be made not only with due regard to
the behavior of these aggregates, but also in light
of evidence on emerging trends in economic
activity and inflation and developments in domestic and international financial markets. At
this juncture, given the actual growth achieved in
the first half, it seems likely that, absent major
movements in interest rates that alter the incentives to hold monetary assets, expansion in M2
and M3 around the lower ends of their 5!/2 to 8V2
percent annual ranges may well be appropriate.
Indeed, should the recent tendency toward a
strengthening in velocity, which has been particularly noticeable in the case of M2, persist, or if
inflationary pressures appear to be mounting,
some shortfall from the annual ranges might well
be appropriate. With regard to the domestic debt
aggregate, the FOMC anticipated that the slower
pace of debt growth in the first half would
continue and that the aggregate would end the
year well within the monitoring range of 8 to 11
percent.
Consistent with the objective of maintaining
progress over time toward general price stability
while supporting sustainable growth in economic
activity, the FOMC decided to adopt on a tentative basis lower growth ranges for money and
credit in 1988. The target growth ranges for M2
and M3 were reduced Vi percentage point, to 5 to
8 percent, measured from the fourth quarter of
1987 to the fourth quarter of 1988. At the same

time, the monitoring range for growth of nonfinancial sector debt also was tentatively reduced
by 1/2 percentage point, to IV2 to 10'/2 percent.
The Committee noted that Ml has continued to
exhibit considerable sensitivity to changes in
interest rates, among other factors, as illustrated
by its sharp deceleration in the first half of this
year. In view of this, and the still-limited experience with the behavior of deregulated transactions accounts, the Committee decided not to set
a specific target range for Ml for the second half
of 1987, and no tentative range was adopted for
1988. In its policy deliberations over the remainder of the year, the FOMC will take account of
Ml growth in light of the behavior of its velocity,
incoming information about the economy and
financial markets, and the degree of emerging
price pressures.

Economic projections for 1987 and 19881

Economic

review but spokesmen have indicated that earlier forecasts will be
revised. As a consequence, the customary comparison of FOMC
forecasts and administration economic goals has not been included in
this report.

Projections

As noted above, the Committee believes that the
monetary objectives that it has set are consistent
with restraint on inflation in the context of continued moderate growth in economic activity and
progress toward a sustainable external position.
As is indicated in the following table, the central
tendency of the forecasts of Committee members
and other Reserve Bank presidents is for growth
in real GNP of 2Vi to 3 percent in 1987 and 1988.
Between now and the end of next year, this pace
of activity is expected to generate jobs in about
sufficient number to match the expansion of the
work force. Consequently, the civilian unemployment rate is not expected to change appreciably from the 6'/4 percent average of the second
quarter, although recent experience suggests that
the projected growth of real GNP might lead to
somewhat lower unemployment.
Real net exports of goods and services are
expected to strengthen further while the growth
of domestic demand remains relatively subdued.
The improved competitive position of U.S. producers resulting in large part from the dollar
depreciation of the past two years has only begun
to be reflected in trade flows, and further improvement in the nation's external position
should be realized in coming quarters. Household spending is expected to grow slowly, but
stronger increases in business investment, espe-

cially in equipment, are anticipated as industrial
firms respond to more favorable sales trends.
Prices, as measured by the implicit deflator for
GNP, are expected to rise V/i to 4 percent over
the four quarters of 1987—slightly more than the
central-tendency range reported to the Congress
in February. For 1988, projections of the increase in the GNP deflator center on 4 percent.
Assuming world oil prices are more stable, there
should be no repetition of the rebound in domestic energy prices that raised the general rate of
inflation earlier this year. However, the acceleration in prices of non-oil imported goods that is
occurring in the wake of the decline in the foreign
exchange value of the dollar likely will continue
for a time to provide some impetus to inflation,
even if the dollar is more stable over the period
ahead, as assumed. The size of further increases
in import prices resulting from the depreciation
to date will depend on the aggressiveness with
which foreign exporters and U.S. distributors
seek to restore profit margins that have been
squeezed in the past two years. The view that
inflation next year will not rise significantly from
the pace projected for 1987 is grounded in a belief
that recognition of the potential for losses of

Monetary Policy Report to the Congress

market share and job opportunities will continue
to influence wage- and price-setting behavior.
While restraint on inflation is crucial in achieving an orderly adjustment as our massive external imbalance is corrected, so too is continued
progress in reducing the federal budget deficit.
Inflows of foreign capital will shrink in step with
the reduction in our current account deficit, and
in that context excessive federal borrowing requirements, as they put pressure on financial
markets, pose a threat to the ability of our
economy to fund necessary private capital formation.
Finally, the members of the Committee and
other Reserve Bank presidents also view the
prospects for a healthy U.S., and world, economy as depending significantly on the avoidance
of further protectionist measures here and
abroad and on satisfactory economic growth in
other major industrial countries.
THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE ECONOMY
DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 1987

The economy continued to expand in the first
half of 1987, and, in contrast to the pattern of the
preceding four years, the composition of activity
appeared to be moving toward a better balance
between domestic spending and domestic production. The overall growth in output during the
first six months of the year led to a net gain in
jobs of around 1V* million, a faster pace of hiring
than during 1986. Moreover, the civilian unemployment rate, which had hovered close to 7
percent throughout most of last year, moved
down to 6.1 percent by June.
Inflation picked up early this year, with most
broad indexes of prices posting increases substantially above those of the past several years.
In large part, the acceleration reflected developments in oil markets, where prices have retraced
part of last year's decline. But rising prices for
other imported goods also began to surface at the
retail level, and, at the producer level, prices
paid for raw materials and other supplies clearly
turned up. Wage trends, however, have remained both stable and restrained.
Higher inflation rates have been, in part, a
consequence of the ongoing adjustment of the
U.S. economy to a lower foreign exchange value




637

of the dollar. Prices of non-oil imports, particularly for finished consumer goods and capital
equipment, have been rising at rates in excess of
domestic prices in recent quarters, damping the
demand for imported goods. At the same time,
goods produced in the United States have become more competitive in world markets. The
volume of exports, which began to pick up
noticeably in the second half of 1986, continued
to expand in early 1987, although the rebound
likely has been limited by slow economic growth
abroad.
Toward the end of 1986, some manufacturing
industries—notably those producing textiles, apparel, steel, chemicals, and paper—began to
experience a firming in demand apparently associated with improved trade conditions. In the
first six months of 1987, production of office
equipment and some other high-tech capital
goods as well as several categories of industrial
machinery also picked up. Moreover, domestic
energy output stabilized, after having been a
serious drag on industrial production last year.
On the whole, the pace of activity in the goodsproducing sector moved back into line with the
overall rise in GNP. The index of industrial
production increased at a 3 percent annual rate
between the third quarter of 1986 and the second
quarter of 1987, after little change during the
preceding year.
The External

Sector

The dollar depreciated further against other major currencies in the first half of 1987, with most
of the adjustment concentrated in one episode
early in January and in another during a period of
unsettled markets in the early spring. Since midMay, the dollar has retraced part of its recent
decline, but, on a trade-weighted basis against
other G-10 currencies, it remains about 6 percent
below its average level in December 1986 and
almost 40 percent below its peak in February
1985. The underlying downward pressure on the
dollar during the first half was fueled by perceptions that progress in reducing the U.S. current
account deficit had been slow and by disappointment concerning prospects for policy adjustments, here and abroad, aimed at restoring better
balance in the world economy. An offsetting

638

Federal Reserve Bulletin • August 1987

factor until recently was the widening of interest
rate differentials between the United States and
the other major industrial countries, as rates rose
in the United States while declining abroad.
The U.S. current account deficit stood at just
under $150 billion in the first quarter of 1987,
little changed, in nominal terms, from the deficit
in the second half of 1986. The volume of merchandise imports of goods other than oil has been
about flat in recent quarters, after rising steadily
for three and one-half years. Demand has leveled
off for a wide range of imported industrial materials, consumer goods, and capital equipment.
This adjustment occurred, however, as dollar
prices for these goods began to pick up, and thus
the value of non-oil imports has continued to
edge higher. Demand for imported petroleum
products dropped back early this year, but with
world oil prices higher, the U.S. oil import bill
stayed at about its 1986 level.
At the same time, the expansion in the volume
of merchandise exports that began in mid-1986
extended into early 1987. The improvement in
foreign sales has been broadly based; in particular, shipments abroad of industrial materials and
capital goods, which account for the bulk of U.S.
merchandise exports, both were up about 10
percent in real terms in the first quarter from the
average in the first half of 1986. The volume of
agricultural exports also firmed somewhat recently, as sharply reduced support prices appear
to be combining with the lower dollar to boost
foreign demand for some U.S. farm products.
The adjustment in the U.S. trade position to
date has occurred without much impetus from
economic expansion abroad. Growth of real
GNP in other industrial countries averaged less
than 2'/2 percent last year; moreover, economic
activity began to slow in the second half of the
year, and, at least in Europe, the weakness
continued into early 1987. Export and import
volumes in Europe and Japan have begun to
adjust to the exchange rate movements of the
past two years, cutting into the growth generated
by their external sectors. While growth in domestic demand has been maintained above the rate
for domestic production, it, too, has slowed and
has not taken up the slack from a weak external
sector.
Outside of the industrial countries, average




growth last year was quite uneven and, on balance, provided only a limited offset to slower
economic activity in Europe and Japan. Weakness in oil markets held down OPEC growth
while the newly industrialized countries in Asia
continued to expand strongly. In Latin America,
which is an important market for U.S exports,
output rose close to 4 percent for a third year, a
marked turnaround from the 1982-83 period,
when the onset of external financing difficulties
seriously disrupted trade. Internal pressures to
maintain reasonably strong growth persist in
these countries; such growth could be facilitated
by an improved performance of the industrial
economies as a group.

The Household

Sector

Consumer spending weakened considerably in
the first half of 1987, after three years in which
real gains averaged 33/4 percent per year. In
particular, households cut back sharply their
purchases of durable goods and outlays for nondurables flattened out; spending for services,
however, continued to trend up. Slower sales of
new automobiles contributed importantly to the
overall deceleration in consumer spending. During the first half, sales of new cars averaged 10
million units at an annual rate, down from a
record 11 Vi million units in 1986. The slackening
in demand was most noticeable for domestic
makes and persisted despite the continuation of
special incentive programs on a wide range of
models.
The deceleration in consumer outlays, especially for durables such as motor vehicles, furniture, and home appliances, followed a period of
several years during which a variety of factors
were working to encourage households to increase their holdings of big-ticket items: relatively moderate increases, or even decreases, in
the prices of many home goods; declines in
interest rates; and pent-up demands from the
period of economic weakness in the early 1980s.
As those influences dissipated, and with the
personal saving rate reaching an historically low
level by late 1986, consumers apparently became
more cautious in their buying patterns. Nonetheless, survey evidence still suggested that house-

Monetary Policy Report to the Congress

holds' evaluations of market conditions for major
purchases and of their personal finances remained generally positive.
During the first five months of 1987, growth in
nominal disposable income picked up from its
1986 pace; but, with consumer prices rising more
rapidly, income growth in real terms was little
different from the 2 percent pace of the preceding
two years. However, the aggregate balance sheet
of the household sector showed further improvement early this year. Asset holdings were bolstered especially by gains in stock prices, while
debt accumulation slowed. Growth of mortgage
debt dropped back from the extraordinary pace
of late 1986 despite the popularity of home equity
loans, and growth of consumer credit dropped
sharply. To some extent, the deceleration in
consumer debt, as well as the slowdown in
spending on durable goods, may be a consequence of the rapid rise in household debt burdens during the past several years. In addition,
the new tax law diminished the incentive to
finance expenditures with installment credit. Despite the slower growth of consumer and mortgage debt, some indicators suggest that a considerable number of households still are having
problems servicing existing liabilities. Although
some loan delinquency rates dropped a bit,
others rose in the first quarter, as did personal
bankruptcies.

The Business

639

Sector

Business spending on plant and equipment fell
sharply in the first quarter of 1987. For equipment, the weakness was concentrated in January
and followed a tax-induced bunching of purchases in late 1986. In subsequent months, shipments of nondefense capital goods recovered,
leaving the average level for April and May, in
nominal terms, 13A percent above the third quarter of last year. New orders for nondefense
capital goods also dipped at the beginning of the
year, but then strengthened noticeably as bookings for aircraft and for office and computing
equipment rose sharply. The recent level of
orders appears consistent with a continuation in
the near term of the moderate uptrend in spending on equipment that has prevailed over the past
two years. According to responses to private
surveys concerning business capital spending
plans for the year as a whole, firms still intend to
direct the bulk of these purchases toward modernization and cost-saving improvements in their
production lines.

In contrast, the environment for expansion of
plant facilities and office space is still generally
unfavorable. Large amounts of vacant and underused space in both office buildings and factories
began to take a toll of nonresidential construction
last year; and less favorable treatment of commercial structures under the new tax code reinSpurred by a decline in mortgage interest
forced the tendencies toward a lower level of
rates, which reached a nine-year low at the end
activity in this sector. As a result, spending for

auto industry. Domestic car makers boosted production in early 1987 in excess of slackening
sales, leading to a substantial backlog of unsold
cars on dealer lots. By June, a scaling back of
assemblies had stemmed further accumulation,
but the industry entered the summer with stocks
that were quite large by historical standards.
Before-tax profits of nonfinancial corporations, which had slipped a bit relative to GNP
since 1984, rose in the first quarter. After-tax
profits relative to GNP were up as well, although
the rise was damped by increases in corporate
tax liabilities associated with the new tax law.
Corporations paid out a slightly larger share of
earnings as dividends in the first quarter; nonetheless, internally generated funds remained sizable relative to investment outlays.

A substantial reduction in the federal budget
deficit for fiscal year 1987 appears in train, with
the most recent estimate from the Congressional
Budget Office at $161 billion, compared with $221
billion in fiscal 1986. Growth in receipts has been
extremely rapid; this reflects, in large part, a
one-time surge in tax payments this April from
individuals who realized capital gains last December, taking advantage of lower tax rates
under the old tax code. But more fundamental
progress in reducing spending growth also appears to have been made in the wake of the
Gramm-Rudman-Hollings legislation. Total outlays have been rising at a rate of around 2 percent
in the current fiscal year, a marked slowing from
8 percent per year during the preceding five
years. Although entitlements spending is still
increasing steadily, agricultural support payments and interest outlays have leveled off.
Moreover, military spending has begun to respond to reductions in defense authorizations
and has slowed to about half its 1986 rate of
increase. In addition, there has been continued
budgetary restraint on discretionary domestic
programs. On balance, these developments have
held down the growth of federal purchases,
which account for about a third of total federal
expenditures; excluding changes in farm inventories held by the Commodity Credit Corpora-




tion, real federal purchases were little changed
between the second quarter of 1986 and the first
quarter of this year.
Real purchases of goods and services by state
and local governments rose at a 4 percent annual
rate in the first quarter of 1987, close to the brisk
pace of the past several years. The growth in
outlays continues to be boosted by efforts to
upgrade basic infrastructures. This rise in spending has outpaced growth in receipts, however,
and the sector's combined operating and capital
accounts (that is, excluding social insurance
funds) moved into deficit in the first quarter of
this year. In many instances, a current deficit
does not signal any fundamental financial problem, as capital expenditures are financed through
bond issues. Nonetheless, a good many units are
experiencing a degree of difficulty, with oil-producing states under the most stress. Many states
are responding with plans to trim their general
funds budgets; some are considering tax increases or are planning to retain the extra receipts generated by changes in federal tax laws.

Labor

Markets

Employment accelerated early in 1987, and, despite a slowing in recent months, the average
monthly increase in nonfarm payroll employment
of just over 200,000 so far this year exceeds the
pace of hiring in 1986. The improvement in labor
demand has been fairly broadly based. In manufacturing, a two-year string of cutbacks in durable goods industries ended late last year, and
hiring picked up a bit in the nondurable goods
sector. As a result, factory employment, overall,
edged higher over the first six months of 1987. In
addition, the number of jobs in oil and gas
extraction stabilized after the sharp retrenchment in 1986. At the same time, the expansion of
jobs in the trade, services, and finance industries,
despite some recent slowing, remained sizable.
The combination of strong gains in employment and declining numbers of unemployed
workers over the first half lowered the civilian
jobless rate to 6'/4 percent on average in the
second quarter from just under 7 percent at the
end of last year. The rate for adult men (aged 25
years and over), which had been stuck at around

Monetary Policy Report to the Congress

5VI percent from mid-1984 to late 1986, moved
below 5 percent this spring; further improvement
also occurred for adult women, whose unemployment rate in the past year has moved below
that of their male counterparts.
Despite falling unemployment, available measures of labor compensation showed little sign of
acceleration early this year. Hourly compensation, as measured by the employment cost index,
rose 3.1 percent in the 12 months ending in
March, the same as the year-over-year changes
in the second half of 1986 and down nearly
three-quarters of a percentage point from a year
earlier. A wide gap persisted between the size of
pay increases for white-collar workers and for
those in blue-collar occupations. Nonetheless,
the slowing in wage inflation compared with a
year earlier was relatively widespread by industry and occupational group. An exception is the
Northeast region, where wages showed no deceleration in the year ending in March and increases
were still outpacing those in other parts of the
country by a sizable margin.
The moderation in hourly compensation increases has been the principal factor holding
down labor costs, as productivity continues to be
quite sluggish. After declining in the second half
of 1986, output per hour in the nonfarm business
sector rebounded in the first quarter of 1987, but
remained little different from its year-earlier
level. Since 1984, productivity gains in the nonfarm business sector have averaged less than 1
percent per year. The trend has been much more
favorable in the manufacturing sector, where
firms apparently have had some success in their
efforts to boost the efficiency of their production
processes; indeed, productivity gains in U.S.
manufacturing between 1985 and 1986 outstripped those recorded by other major industrial
countries.

Price

Developments

As expected, inflation rates have been higher so
far this year, largely reflecting a rebound in
energy prices. The GNP fixed-weight price index, a broad measure of inflation for goods and
services produced by the United States, increased at an annual rate of about 4 percent in the



641

first quarter; it had risen 2VI percent during 1986.
Sharper accelerations occurred in the consumer
price index, which was up at a 5'A percent rate
over the first five months of the year, and in the
producer price index for finished goods, which
rose at a 41/2 percent annual rate over the six
months ended in June.
The rebound in energy prices began in January, when spot prices of crude oil jumped about
$3 per barrel in response to the reductions in
output to which OPEC had agreed late in December. Higher crude oil costs were quickly passed
on to end-users, and by May consumer prices for
gasoline and fuel oil had risen about 15 percent,
retracing half of last year's decline. Spot prices
of petroleum products moved up a bit further
early in the summer as inventories tightened, and
these increases were supported subsequently by
the renewal of OPEC's agreement to control
production.
In addition to the developments in energy
markets, the influence of a lower value of the
dollar, as well as trade restrictions, on the prices
of imported goods became increasingly evident
at the retail level in the first part of this year. The
dockside prices of non-oil imports turned up in
1986 after several years in which stable or declining import prices had helped to restrain domestic
inflation. Although price changes have varied
considerably among different categories of imported goods, some of the largest increases have
been reported for consumer commodities, including autos. Retail prices for a number of items
with higher-than-average import proportions—
such as apparel, footwear, and some other home
goods—have shown markedly faster increases
than they did during the past several years.
These increases contributed to a sharp acceleration in the consumer price index for goods other
than food and energy between December and
May compared with 1986, while the rise in prices
of nonenergy services over the same period was
slightly less rapid than last year.
At the domestic producer level, prices of finished consumer goods and capital equipment
other than food and energy rose at an annual rate
of less than 2 percent over the first six months of
the year. At earlier stages of processing, however, prices of domestically produced intermediate materials other than food and energy rose at

642

Federal Reserve Bulletin • August 1987

a 4 percent annual rate, after two years of
essentially no change. This acceleration reflected
a sharp rise in the prices of industrial chemicals
and some other petroleum-related materials as
well as increases in a number of other categories.
Prices of primary commodities other than petroleum also have increased so far in 1987. In the
agricultural sector, crop prices have retraced
part of last year's decline, which occurred when
farmers sold large amounts of the grain they had
received from the government in lieu of cash
payments. Prices of cattle and hogs also were up
markedly into the spring, but, with supplies
improving, cattle prices have retraced much of
their advance, and hog futures prices point to
declines later this year. Prices of industrial materials, with the exception of a brief period early
this year, have been rising fairly steadily since
the early autumn of 1986. Spot prices for precious metals have been particularly sensitive to
developments in foreign exchange markets and
renewed market concerns about inflation; after
climbing sharply into May, they fell back a bit
with the subsequent firming of the dollar.

MONETAR
MARKETS

Y POLICY AND
FINANCIAL
IN THE FIRST HALF OF 1987

The Federal Open Market Committee at its meeting in February established 1987 target ranges,
measured from the fourth quarter of 1986 to the
fourth quarter of 1987, of 5'/2 to 8V2 percent for
both M2 and M3. It also set a 1987 monitoring
range for domestic nonfinancial debt of 8 to 11
percent. The M2 and M3 ranges represented a
reduction of V2 percentage point from last year's
target ranges, and the Committee expected
growth to be well within the ranges, especially in
the absence of dramatic movements in interest
rates. The range for debt was unchanged from
1986 but below the actual outcome in that year
and other recent years; thus, the Committee
anticipated that debt growth also would slow this
year.
The Committee viewed a substantial slowing in
money and credit growth from the rapid pace of
1986 as likely to be consistent with continuation
of sustainable economic expansion and conducive to further progress over time toward reason


able price stability. Growth of Ml also was
expected to moderate considerably this year.
However, the Committee in February elected not
to set a target range for Ml for 1987 because of
the continuing uncertainties about the relationship of this aggregate to the economy. These
uncertainties partly reflected the substantial sensitivity of its velocity to changes in financial
conditions that had been evident in recent years,
capped by a record postwar decline in the velocity of Ml over 1986. Instead, the FOMC decided
to continue evaluating movements in this aggregate in light of the behavior of its velocity, the
rate of economic expansion, inflationary pressures, and developments in financial markets.
Over the first half of 1987, monetary policy
was conducted against a backdrop of heightened
concerns about inflation, stimulated in part by
substantial downward pressure on the dollar in
foreign exchange markets. At the same time,
growth of money and credit aggregates moderated considerably and the velocities of the
broader monetary aggregates turned upward after several years of rapid money growth and
falling velocities. Measured from the fourth quarter of 1986, M2 in June was below the lower end
of its target growth range, while M3 was around
the lower end of its range. Meanwhile, growth in
Ml slowed to a 13A percent pace and debt expansion moderated to a 93/4 percent rate. As pressures on the dollar and inflation worries intensified in April and May, interest rates began to rise
substantially, especially in long-term markets. In
late April and May, the Federal Reserve adopted
a somewhat less accommodative stance with
respect to the provision of reserves through open
market operations. These actions, together with
monetary easing moves by key industrial trading
partners, helped to stabilize the dollar and calm
inflation fears, contributing to some decline in
long-term interest rates and strengthening of the
dollar.

sodes of heavy downward pressure on the dollar,
indications from long-term securities and commodity markets of heightened inflation expectations, and evidence that the economy continued
to advance at a pace sufficient to produce rising
levels of resource utilization. Under these circumstances, interest rates tended to move
higher, and the patterns of rapid money growth
and declining velocities of the last several years,
when inflation and interest rates were moving
down, began to be reversed. Growth of the broad
aggregates remained around the lower bounds of
their growth cones through most of the first half
of the year, although M2 dropped well below its
long-run range later in the period. Growth of both
M2 and M3 was considerably below the pace of
recent years, and their velocities increased. Expansion of Ml also slowed markedly, while
growth of domestic nonfinancial sector debt
moderated.
Through the early spring of this year, System
open market operations were conducted to keep
pressures on the reserve positions of depository
institutions unchanged from last year. In January, the strong credit and money demands associated with a burst of tax-related financial activity in late 1986 began to abate, and short-term
interest rates eased; however, these rates remained above levels prevailing in the fall of last
year.




e

estimated

In foreign exchange markets, the dollar had
begun to decline in late December, after a period
of some stability. The drop continued through
January, amid market concerns about the prospects for correcting U.S. and foreign external
imbalances. In late February, the statement in
Paris by the ministers of finance and central bank
governors of six major industrial countries that
they "agreed to cooperate closely to foster stability of exchange rates around current levels,"
along with a cut in the discount rate by the Bank
of Japan, seemed to stabilize the dollar for a
time.
The spread between private short-term rates
and Treasury bill rates widened after Brazil announced a suspension of interest payments to
banks in February, and subsequently widened
further as the Treasury's paydown of bills, which
began early in the year, picked up and foreign
official institutions purchased bills with the proceeds of dollars acquired in exchange market
intervention. Reflecting the somewhat higher private short-term interest rates and concomitant
increases in funding costs, commercial banks
raised the prime rate by 'A percentage point on
April 1.
Long-term rates, which had not been much
affected by the transitory credit demands of late
1986, continued to drift down in the early months
of 1987, displaying little short-term volatility.

644

Federal Reserve Bulletin • August 1987

The placid conditions in long-term markets were
abruptly changed in late March, primarily by
developments in the international sphere. Announcements of trade sanctions by the United
States, persisting weakness of the dollar, and
disappointing trade figures all raised questions
about continuing private demands for dollar assets, prospects for inflation, and the response of
monetary policy. The dollar dropped sharply in
the last three weeks of March, and between late
March and late April, yields on 30-year government bonds rose about 1 percentage point on
balance. The exchange and bond markets became highly volatile during this period, as the
dollar continued to drop and inflation fears appeared to be intensified by the publication of
adverse price data. Mortgage rates and yields on
mortgage pass-through securities reacted very
promptly to the deterioration in the bond markets
and, indeed, rose more than most other longterm rates as many investors shied away from
these instruments subject to substantial prepayment risk.
The effects of these developments also were
evident in short-term credit markets, where rates
rose in April partly in anticipation that monetary
policy would have to firm to contain pressures on
prices and the dollar. In late April and again in
May, the Federal Reserve did move to tighten
the availability of nonborrowed reserves through
open market operations. Short-term interest
rates rose about Vi to 3A percentage point during
April and May, and the prime rate was raised
twice more, on May 1 and May 15, in quarterpoint increments. The System's firming actions,
along with complementary moves abroad, helped
to stabilize the dollar and ameliorate the concerns about the inflation outlook.
Along with some better price news and evidence of improvement in our trade deficit, this
policy appeared to impart an improved tone to
short-term and, especially, long-term credit markets over the latter part of May and June. Since
May, most short-term rates have posted declines
of VA percentage point or more. Longer-term markets generally have registered greater gains, and
in early July long rates were off Vi to 3A percentage
point from their May highs. The dollar, meanwhile, has shown more dramatic improvement,
regaining the ground it lost in April and May.
As interest rate incentives favoring market



instruments over monetary assets became more
pronounced in the first half of the year, growth of
the monetary aggregates slowed. M2 decelerated
in both quarters, expanding at an annual rate of
only Vh percent in the March-to-June period. In
addition to the influence of rising interest rates,
tax reform may have weakened the public's
demand for M2 assets, particularly householdtype deposits, to the extent that it induced individuals to pay down consumer debt or to finance
expenditures out of liquid assets rather than with
credit. The velocity of M2 is estimated to have
risen in the first and second quarters, after declining in 1985 and 1986.
The slowing of M2 growth was accompanied
by a marked change in the composition of deposit
inflows away from transactions and other highly
liquid instruments and toward longer-term retail
deposits. This reversal of the pattern of portfolio
shifts in 1985 and 1986 occurred as rates on time
deposits adjusted more promptly to rising market
rates than did yields on more liquid monetary
components, and the deposit rate curve steepened.
Growth in transactions instruments fell in the
first half to a pace not seen since 1984, the last
time interest rates rose on a sustained basis.
Demand deposits, along with other checkable
deposits (OCDs), were boosted smartly in April
as individuals prepared to pay tax liabilities,
which were swollen by capital gains taken in 1986
to avoid higher rates under tax reform. On balance, however, demand deposits have exhibited
no sustained strength since late last summer.
Among other factors, the rise in interest rates
reduced the volume of demand deposits that
businesses need to hold as compensating balances for bank services. As rates on time deposits and market instruments rose, OCDs became a
less attractive savings vehicle. The progressive
slowing this year of OCD growth, which had
averaged close to 30 percent during most of
1986, was interrupted only by the April surge.
With demand deposits and OCDs both running
off in June, growth in Ml for the second quarter
was down to a 6'/2 percent rate. The velocity of
Ml in the second quarter is estimated to have
changed little, after declining in each quarter
since 1984.
Growth in other liquid balances also has been
falling. Savings deposits, after expanding at a

Monetary Policy Report to the Congress

rate of around 30 percent since the late summer
of last year, slowed in the second quarter and
advanced at a rate of only 10 percent in June, and
money market deposit accounts have been particularly weak this year. By contrast, small time
deposits, which had run off over much of last
year in an environment of falling short-term
rates, expanded significantly in June for the first
time since April 1986. Growth in small time
deposits this year has been especially strong at
thrift institutions, reflecting elevated offering
rates and, in certain cases, a shift to deposits in
denominations of under $100,000, as some of
these institutions have encountered difficulties in
issuing large time deposits.
Even with weak inflows to core deposits, the
need among commercial banks to tap wholesale
managed liabilities was limited by a moderation
in demands for credit. M3 growth was further
damped in the first half as banks obtained funds
from sources not encompassed by the monetary
aggregates, including borrowing from their foreign branches and a sharp rise in Treasury deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank advances to
thrifts also were strong, although below the pace
of last year. Growth of M3 fell below that of
income in the first half, and M3 velocity apparently rose in both quarters, the first sustained
increase in three years.
Credit flows were reduced in the first half of
1987, with total domestic nonfinancial sector
debt expanding at an annual rate of around 93A
percent, compared with rates in excess of 13
percent in each of the preceding three years.
Even so, expansion of both the private and
public components of the debt aggregate continued to outstrip the growth of income, as generally has been the case in the 1980s.
Overall business credit demands continued to
be buoyed in the first half by heavy net retirements of shares associated with mergers, buyouts, and other corporate restructurings. With
long-term rates subdued in the first three months
of the year, firms concentrated their borrowings
in bond markets and short-term business credit
contracted. However, as long-term markets deteriorated in April, bond issuance abated and
business credit demands focused on the commercial paper market. By June, with some improvement in long-term markets, these financing patterns reversed again as bond issuance picked up



645

and growth of short-term business credit came to
a halt.
Growth of consumer installment credit was
considerably diminished during the first half. The
reduced deductibility of consumer interest payments under the new tax code encouraged this
development. The tax law change made the use
of mortgage credit relatively more attractive, and
the active promotion by lenders of home equity
lines of credit reinforced tendencies toward substitution. In addition to credit taken down under
home equity lines, mortgage growth in the first
half was maintained by heavy volumes of new
and existing home sales.
Federal government credit needs in the first
half were held down by unusually strong tax
payments stemming from the retroactive repeal
of the investment tax credit and, principally,
from the capital gains realized late last year. The
budget showed a small surplus in the April-toJune period, after a $59 billion deficit in the first
quarter. Net borrowing from the public nevertheless rose in the second quarter on a seasonally
adjusted basis as the Treasury replenished its
cash balances, which had been drawn down
sharply in the initial months of the year. The
Treasury ran off bills in both quarters but continued to issue coupon securities in volume. Federal
debt expanded at a 93A percent annual rate in
the first half of the year, down from the pace of
1986.
Borrowing by state and local governments has
fallen off this year. Issuance of municipal debt for
new capital has been slowed considerably by
provisions of tax reform that narrowed the definition of public-purpose debt and constrained
private-purpose offerings. In addition, issuance
of refunding bonds, which was strong in the first
quarter, slackened after April because of higher
interest rates.
The financial system has continued to evidence
strains in 1987. Indications that the agricultural
sector is beginning to stabilize have emerged,
with loan delinquencies declining, land prices
bottoming out, and export volume firming; the
failure rate among agricultural banks seems
likely to have peaked. However, the Farm Credit
System, the nation's largest farm lender, lost
considerable sums in 1985 and 1986, and many of
its units continue to struggle with troubled loan
portfolios.

646

Federal Reserve Bulletin • August 1987

In addition to difficulties with agricultural
loans, commercial banks have been saddled with
persisting problems in their energy and developing-country loan portfolios. Although some
banks remain highly profitable, 19 percent lost
money last year, compared with about 3 percent
as the decade began; loan-loss provisions were
the main cause of the earnings problems. The
banking system is likely to post record losses this
year owing to huge reserve provisions taken by
large banks primarily as a consequence of developments in the international debt area. Despite
the shrinkage in the book value of shareholder
equity recognized by these actions, share prices
rose at many banks that announced large increases in loan-loss reserves.
Net operating income before taxes for solvent
thrift institutions rose last year as interest margins widened with falling market rates, and thrifts
overall have raised their ratio of net worth to
total assets by taking advantage of strong stock
prices to issue large volumes of equity. Nonetheless, at a significant minority of thrifts, already
negative net worth positions have been aggra-




vated by continued losses. Moreover, the problems of some troubled institutions intensified this
year as the real estate market in certain areas of
the country remained depressed and interest
rates backed up.
The difficulties of the thrift industry are mirrored in the situation of the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corporation. Estimates indicate
that current and potential claims against the
FSLIC exceed its reserves by significant
amounts. With premiums levied on member institutions already at a statutory maximum, some
action clearly is called for to strengthen the
FSLIC and bolster its ability to deal with problem institutions. Plans currently under study by
the Congress would involve using retained earnings from the Federal Home Loan Banks to
capitalize a financing corporation that, in turn,
would issue obligations and invest the proceeds
in FSLIC capital stock. At this stage, these plans
call for a maximum capacity to issue debt of $81/2
billion. This would be repaid over an extended
period of time through FSLIC assessments on
member institutions.

In market groups, output of consumer goods
increased 0.6 percent in May following a decline
of 0.8 percent in April. Auto production was off
slightly in May, but output of lightweight trucks
as well as that of home goods and nondurable
consumer goods increased during the month.
Auto assemblies were trimmed further in May to
an annual rate of 7.1 million units, but still
exceeded sales for May; industry schedules for

Industrial production increased an estimated 0.5
percent in May, while the level of output in each

of both construction and business supplies increased half a percent in May but has shown, on
balance, only small gains since the beginning of
the year. Total materials production rose 0.4
percent following a similar gain (upward revised)
in April. Among durable materials, output of
metals and equipment parts increased in May;
nondurable materials, such as chemicals and
paper, also rose. Output of energy materials,
although relatively strong in May due largely to
increased electricity generation, remained below
year-earlier levels.
In industry groups, total manufacturing output
increased 0.5 percent in May following a decline
of 0.2 percent in April, which occurred mainly in
durables. In May, the durable manufacturing
sector almost regained March levels; nondurable
manufacturing, with a gain of 0.6 percent in May
following a revised rise of 0.4 percent in April,
surpassed the March level considerably. Mining
output edged down in May, but production by
utilities was up sharply.

Statement to Congress
Statement by Manuel H. Johnson, Vice Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, before the Subcommittee on Financial
Institutions Supervision, Regulation and Insurance of the Committee on Banking, Finance and
Urban Affairs, U.S. House of
Representatives,
June 9, 1987.
I am pleased to appear on behalf of the Federal
Reserve Board to offer additional testimony on
the issue of money laundering. The Federal
Reserve has a strong commitment to implementing appropriate policies to ensure compliance
with laws enacted to eliminate money laundering.
My goal today is to more fully inform the
committee of efforts by myself and by the staff to
press for greater international cooperation by
bank supervisors in addressing the use of banking organizations to launder money. In addition,
the committee has asked that I give a status
report on the studies required under the AntiDrug Abuse Act of 1986 and that I address the
subject of bank fraud and insider dealing. Finally, I will provide further information on the
Federal Reserve's supervisory efforts to ensure
compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and other
laws to discourage the use of banks and the
payments system generally for laundering money.

INTERNATIONAL

COOPERATION

The Federal Reserve shares the concerns of this
committee and believes that the effectiveness of
efforts to discourage money laundering could be
further enhanced by initiatives on an international level. For the past year, the Federal Reserve,
together with the other federal banking agencies,
has worked to secure the cooperation of bank
supervisory authorities in other countries of the
world. Discussions have been held among members of the Basle Committee on Bank Regulation



and Supervisory Practices with the goal of obtaining a consensus on how best to proceed with
efforts to discourage criminal elements from using the international payments system for the
purpose of laundering money. 1 The subject was
first raised with the Basle Committee in a meeting in Washington last June. Although all members of the committee were clear in their view
that abuse of the banking system in the form of
currency laundering was a serious matter, many
members felt that the primary responsibility for
monitoring and detecting this activity rested
largely with law enforcement authorities. Nonetheless, the committee agreed that the subject
should be reviewed, and at the December 1986
meeting the U.S. delegation agreed to draft a
paper outlining the issue and making recommendations.
In addition, this paper will propose rules of
conduct that could be utilized by banks in any
country to discourage the use of the payments
system for illegal transactions. In constructing
this proposal, we have consulted with other
countries for the purpose of incorporating their
ideas as well as seeking their support of a more
active role for bank supervisors. We expect that
in the next few weeks a draft of an initial
proposal will be ready for review by the Basle
Committee, and we are attempting to put the
item on the committee agenda for the regular
meeting later this month. We recognize that
encouraging foreign supervisors to endorse the
concept that international banks should adopt a
code of conduct falls short of the extensive
currency reporting requirements in place in the
United States; however, we are hopeful that this

1. The Basle Committee was established at the end of 1974
by the central bank governors of the Group of Ten industralized countries with the objective of strengthening collaboration among national authorities in their prudential supervision
of international banking. The committee, whose members are
officials of the central banks and supervisory agencies, meets
three times a year at the Bank for International Settlements in
Basle, Switzerland.

650

Federal Reserve Bulletin • August 1987

effort, in combination with the activities of our
federal law enforcement authorities, will make a
meaningful contribution toward inhibiting the
use of the banking system for illicit money laundering.
Attempts to eliminate money laundering
through legislation are, of course, not confined to
the United States. Recently, Switzerland, for
example, has proposed laws designed to make
money laundering a crime. It is our hope that
other countries will follow suit. The proposed
rules of conduct to which I have just referred
endorse the concept that bank supervisory authorities should support legislation that would
make money laundering a crime.
Federal Reserve efforts to encourage international cooperation in this area will not be limited
to the Basle Committee. We intend to discuss
this issue when appropriate at formal and informal meetings with foreign bank supervisory authorities. It is our hope, however, that the work
going on in the Basle Supervisors' Committee
will serve as the principal vehicle for advancing
effective constraints on the involvement of international banking institutions in money laundering activities.
INTERNATIONAL

STUDIES

The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 requires that
two studies be conducted and furnished to this
committee. Both of these studies are being prepared under the auspices of the Department of
the Treasury in consultation with the Board of
Governors. The Justice Department is also to
contribute to one of the studies.
The first study deals with the results of discussions with central banks and other appropriate
governmental authorities concerning the establishment of arrangements to facilitate the flow of
information among supervisory authorities
throughout the world. The flow of information
among international supervisors is particularly
important, and the Federal Reserve is discussing
with international authorities the need to improve communications and information-sharing
procedures to strengthen supervisory activities
vis-a-vis international banking organizations. We
expect to be able to provide the Treasury with
the results of our discussions in sufficient time to
ensure a timely response to this committee.



The other study requires that information be
furnished to this committee on the following: (1)
the extent to which foreign branches of domestic
institutions are used to facilitate illicit transfers
of currency and other monetary instruments or
to evade reporting requirements; (2) the extent to
which U.S. law is applicable to the activities of
such foreign branches; and (3) methods for obtaining the cooperation of foreign countries for
the purpose of enforcing money laundering laws
and currency reporting requirements. The Federal Reserve and the Comptroller of the Currency
were asked to assist the Treasury on sections 2
and 3 of the study. While we are still in the
process of developing materials to provide to the
Treasury, we expect that the study will be completed within the committee's requested time
frame.

BANK

FRAUD

AND INSIDER

DEALING

I would now like to turn to the subject of bank
fraud and insider dealings. Experience has demonstrated that insider abuse and misconduct, as
well as criminal activities, are among the factors
contributing to bank failures. Data provided to
the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) confirm that criminal
misconduct, such as fraud and embezzlement, is
a serious problem. For example, the FBI recently reported that in 1985 it worked on 6,373 bank
fraud and embezzlement cases—one-third of
which involved amounts exceeding $100,000. In
1986, this number rose to 7,286—with a corresponding increase in the number of cases involving more than $100,000. The FBI reports that in
1985 the amount of reported dollar losses because of bank fraud and embezzlement totaled
about $850 million; in 1986, this total increased to
more than $1.1 billion.
Over the past several years, the Federal Reserve by itself, and in conjunction with the other
federal banking and law enforcement agencies,
has taken a number of steps to address bank
fraud and insider abuse. A major part of this
effort relates to our involvement in the Interagency Bank Fraud Enforcement Working Group (the
"Working Group") that was formed in April
1985. The Working Group is comprised of officials from all of the federal financial institution

Statement

regulator agencies, the Justice Department, and
the FBI. The principal results of the Working
Group's efforts over the past two years include
the following:
• The Working Group developed and implemented a uniform criminal referral form to be
used by all banks, bank holding companies,
savings and loan institutions, and credit unions.
• The Department of Justice developed and
implemented a "significant referral" tracking
system. For this purpose, a criminal referral is
considered "significant" if the dollar amount of
the suspected violation exceeds $200,000, the
suspected offense involves insider abuse by senior officials, or the violation involves, in the
opinion of Board staff, activities or practices that
affect the integrity of the supervisory process or
otherwise have nationwide implications. Each
significant referral received by the Federal Reserve System is forwarded to the Fraud Section
of the Department of Justice for tracking and
special attention.
• As a complement to these efforts, the Enforcement Section of the Board's Division of
Banking Supervision and Regulation developed
and implemented an automated system to monitor and track all of the Federal Reserve criminal
referrals. Complete access to the Board's criminal referral recordkeeping system is available to
all the agencies comprising the Working Group.
• The members of the Working Group developed and distributed lists of key persons to be
contacted at the local FBI offices, U.S. Attorney's offices, Federal Reserve Banks, and all
district offices of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board on
matters relating to criminal referrals and bankrelated insider abuse and fraud. These lists provide important information for the staffs of the
agencies that are reponsible for criminal referral
and follow-up.
• The examiner training programs sponsored
by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council have been expanded to include
extensive instruction in the detection and investigation of insider abuse and misconduct within
financial institutions. In addition, the members
of the Working Group jointly sponsor whitecollar crime seminars with the FBI.
• At the urging of the Working Group, the



to Congress

651

Attorney General called upon each U.S. attorney
to intensify his or her efforts in bank fraud
enforcement. In a memorandum distributed in
February 1987, the Attorney General asked all
U.S. attorneys to prepare inventories of bank
fraud cases involving more than $100,000 that are
pending prosecutive decision or action, to make
prompt prosecutive determinations in those cases ready for decision, and to assign the needed
personnel to complete the investigation of open
cases with the goal of indictment or declination
within nine months.
As part of this overall effort, the Federal
Reserve Board has attempted to improve its
communication and coordination with the enforcement agencies in this all-important area. I
believe that we have made considerable progress
in strengthening our working relationships with
the Department of Justice and the FBI at both
the federal and the local levels. There is also
now, I believe, a better mutual understanding of
the procedures and responsibilities of the federal
financial institution supervisory agencies and the
federal law enforcement agencies.
Besides these interagency efforts, the Board
has sought to enhance its supervisory and enforcement activities regarding insider abuse and
misconduct. This effort is reflected in an increase
in the number of formal enforcement actions
taken by the Board. In the period 1981-82, the
Federal Reserve System averaged 42 enforcement actions per year; from 1984-86, the average
number of enforcement actions had increased to
177. These figures include actions against state
member banks, bank holding companies, and
Edge act corporations. Moreover, during this
period, there has been a significant increase in
the number of enforcement orders addressing
improper or abusive actions of bank officials.
This increase in enforcement actions has occurred across the Board—involving civil money
penalties and fines, cease and desist orders, and
suspension and removal proceedings against officers and directors.
Board staff members are also working with
their counterparts at the other federal financial
institution regulatory agencies to develop a joint
legislative proposal for amending the agencies'
enforcement statutes. The purpose of the proposal would be to clarify the agencies' authority
to obtain reimbursement from individuals who

652

Federal Reserve Bulletin • August 1987

violate applicable banking laws; broaden the
agencies' powers to issue cease and desist orders; strengthen removal procedures; and codify
existing interpretations of the Right to Financial
Privacy Act. We believe that these changes
would strengthen the agencies' ability to address
bank fraud and insider dealings, and it is our
hope that a proposal will be ready soon for
referral to the Congress.

DOMESTIC

REGULATORY

ACTIVITIES

To conclude my testimony, let me describe the
range of our domestic activities to fight money
laundering in U.S. banks. First, the Federal
Reserve provides monthly reports on currency
flows for several government agencies. These
reports supply data on currency sent into and out
of each of the 37 Federal Reserve offices. The
purpose of the report is to establish payment
patterns throughout the United States so that
marked deviations in normal patterns can be
identified and enforcement resources more efficiently deployed.
In addition, Federal Reserve Banks provide
currency, shipping, and receiving data to government agencies covering cash flows between the
Federal Reserve and a particular depository institution that is ordering or depositing cash. That
information is useful also in establishing marked
deviations in normal depositing and ordering
patterns. The Federal Reserve is fully cooperative in responding to any requests for data of this
type.

EXAMINATIONS

The Board believes that the most effective way
to ensure that banks are meeting the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act is to conduct on-site examinations.
The Federal Reserve has developed detailed
examination procedures in this area and has held
special training sessions for examiners as well as
for bankers. It is our policy to review compliance
with the Bank Secrecy Act at each examination
of a state member bank or Edge act corporation.
In 1986, 844 such examinations were conducted,
and through the first quarter of 1987 an additional



227 examinations were completed. The number
and intensity of our reviews of currency reporting requirements have increased steadily in the
past five years.
During the period covered by these examinations, deficiencies were discovered in 256 banks.
These deficiencies included failure to file currency transaction reports, filing incomplete or inaccurate currency transaction reports, improper
maintenance of exemption lists, and poor recordkeeping practices. In all cases, the banks have
been required to initiate corrective action and in
16 cases the violations resulted in our forwarding
details to the Justice Department for further
review. Of course, as a matter of policy, every
violation is reported to the Department of Treasury on a quarterly basis.
While considerable effort has been expended
in recent years to ensure that adequate and indepth examinations are being conducted, the
Federal Reserve reviews on a regular basis its
practices and procedures in an effort to strengthen its oversight activities. In addition, as already
noted, the Federal Reserve actively participates
in the Bank Secrecy Act Interagency Working
Group that is chaired by the Treasury Department. This working group has developed new
procedures that are designed to assist in detecting violations of law. These procedures are currently in the process of being integrated into our
examination instructions.
REGULATION

Pursuant to the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, the
federal banking agencies have developed regulations that require banks to establish and maintain
procedures to ensure compliance with the Bank
Secrecy Act. The Federal Reserve published its
regulations for this purpose as amendments to
Regulation H on January 27, 1987. These amendments require banks to implement a written
program that must be approved by the bank's
directors to assure compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Bank
Secrecy Act. The compliance program must, at a
minimum, include four elements: (1) a system of
internal controls; (2) independent testing for
compliance; (3) designation of individual(s) to be
responsible for compliance; and (4) appropriate
training of employees.

Statement

Noncompliance with this regulation will result
in the issuance of a cease and desist order.
Although no such orders have yet been issued
based on this recently published regulation, the
Board has included requirements to strengthen
compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act in other
formal supervisory actions. Between 1980 and
1986, the Board or the Reserve Banks entered
into 165 enforcement orders or agreements with
state member banks. Provisions requiring corrective action relative to the Bank Secrecy Act
were included in 25 of these enforcement orders.

IND US TR Y ED UCA TION

Besides focusing on strengthening regulations
and examining procedures, efforts have been
directed at educating banks and the public on the
requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act and on
Federal Reserve policies and procedures regarding currency reporting. Board staff members
have participated in seminars and programs intended to educate bankers about the Bank Secrecy Act, especially as it relates to the Regulation
H amendments and the requirements for currency reporting. We believe that these seminars
have been particularly helpful and have achieved
a substantial degree of participation among bank
managers and compliance personnel. Regional
programs conducted through our District banks
have also provided opportunities for bank compliance officers to discuss issues and to ask
questions relating to the Bank Secrecy Act.
To provide assistance and guidance for state
member banks in developing compliance programs, the Federal Reserve has developed and
issued guidelines and sample documentation.
These materials have been widely distributed
and, we understand, have been particularly useful to banking organizations in developing compliance programs.

APPLICATIONS

Any banking organization or bank holding company making application to the Federal Reserve
receives a careful scrutiny to determine whether
the organization is in compliance with the currency recordkeeping and reporting requirements



to Congress

653

of the Bank Secrecy Act. When violations exist,
procedures require that a thorough analysis be
performed that looks carefully at the nature of
the violations, efforts taken by the Bank to cure
the deficiencies, and procedures developed to
prevent any future occurrence. Applicants are
required to provide detailed responses on the
cause of the violations and to submit copies of
their compliance programs, and procedures, and
their related internal audit reports. Normal processing of any application is suspended until all
questions relating to Bank Secrecy Act compliance are fully resolved. From the beginning of
1985 through May 1987, 125 applications involved issues relating to Bank Secrecy Act compliance. In 25 of these cases, resolution of the
compliance problems resulted in a delay in the
processing of the application beyond the normal
60-day period.
Those cases that involve serious issues of
noncompliance and that cannot be resolved by
furnishing additional information may require a
special examination. These examinations are
conducted either by the Federal Reserve or by
the regulatory agency responsible for the primary supervision of the applicant banking organization. No action is taken on any application
until satisfactory compliance is demonstrated
and any associated issues are resolved. An ongoing investigation by any law enforcement agency, would also suspend processing of the application.

CONCLUSIONS

The Federal Reserve shares this committee's
concern that banking organizations not be used
to launder funds or participate in other illegal or
improper activities. To this end, we have devoted considerable effort and resources to monitor
compliance of state member banks with the Bank
Secrecy Act and the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of
1986. We have tightened our examination procedures, put in place policies for carefully reviewing a bank's compliance record at the time an
application is made, and taken steps to ensure
that criminal referrals are made in a timely
fashion with appropriate follow-up. The Federal
Reserve has also contributed to banker educational programs and provided guidance to bank-

654

Federal Reserve Bulletin • August 1987

ing organizations for complying with the Bank
Secrecy Act. Finally, we are pursuing cooperative efforts on the international level that we
hope will heighten awareness of the need to
strengthen supervisory and enforcement activities worldwide.
Despite these intense efforts, we recognize




that we must remain vigilant and continue our
efforts to improve compliance with the Bank
Secrecy Act. The Federal Reserve intends to
continue to place strong emphasis on its oversight responsibilities for Bank Secrecy Act compliance and to contribute fully to efforts to eliminate money laundering.

Announcements
STATEMENT BY CHAIRMAN VOLCKER ON
THE DEATH OF ARTHUR F. BURNS
Paul A. Volcker, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, issued on June 26,1987, the following statement on the passing of Arthur F. Burns:
Arthur Burns was a staunch supporter of the Federal Reserve as an institution and a firm friend of many
of us within it. We have enormously benefited from
both that support and that friendship. He will be
honored in our memory.
Arthur first came to the Federal Reserve in 1970 as
Chairman of the Board of Governors. He was then at
an age that, for most men, might be considered a
normal time for retirement. He had great vigor and
brought to his new position force of personality,
intellectual vigor, and physical endurance that had a
profound influence throughout the institution and on
U.S. economic policy for eight years.
Arthur without doubt saw those active " F e d " years
as a culmination of a career already distinguished by
promising studies of the business cycle, by large
contributions to the teaching and the profession of
economics at Columbia University and the National
Bureau of Economic Research, and by public service
as President Eisenhower's first Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, and as Counselor to President Nixon, whom he had long advised informally. It
was a measure of the breadth and strength of the man
that in his mid-70s he took on a key diplomatic
assignment, serving with great distinction as Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany.

MEETING OF CONSUMER
COUNCIL

ADVISORY

The Federal Reserve Board announced that its
Consumer Advisory Council met on June 25 and
26 in sessions open to the public.
The Council's function is to advise the Board
on the exercise of the Board's responsibilities
under the Consumer Credit Protection Act and
on other matters on which the Board seeks its
advice.



NOMINATIONS SOUGHT FOR
APPOINTMENTS TO
CONSUMER ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Federal Reserve Board announced on June
25, 1987, that it is seeking nominations of qualified individuals for 11 appointments to its Consumer Advisory Council to replace members
whose terms expire on December 31, 1987.
The Consumer Advisory Council was established by the Congress in 1976, at the suggestion
of the Board, to advise the Board on the exercise
of its duties under the Consumer Credit Protection Act and on other consumer-related matters.
The Council meets three times a year.
Nominations should include the name, address, and telephone number of the nominee,
past and present positions held, and special
knowledge, interests, or experience related to
consumer credit or other consumer financial
services.
Nominations should be submitted in writing to
Dolores S. Smith, Assistant Director, Division of
Consumer and Community Affairs, Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
Washington, D.C. 20551. Nominations should be
received by August 31, 1987.

DIRECT DEPOSIT OF SOCIAL SECURITY
PAYMENTS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
The Federal Reserve and the Social Security
Administration announced on June 26, 1987, the
beginning of direct electronic deposit of Social
Security benefit payments in the United Kingdom.
About 5,300 of the United Kingdom's 14,000
recipients of U.S. benefits have had their June
benefit payment electronically deposited into
their bank accounts. This marks the first time
that the U . S . government has made direct deposit payments overseas.
The new system assures prompt payment of

656

Federal Reserve Bulletin • August 1987

benefits on the same day as U.S. recipients,
normally the third day of the month, and obviates the process of changing U.S. dollars into
British pounds sterling. Direct deposit is also a
more efficient means of payment delivery than
paper checks.
The start of this new international direct deposit program culminates a two-year, multiagency effort by the Social Security Administration, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Bank
of England, British Automated Clearing Services, Ltd., and the Departments of Treasury
and State to pay overseas beneficiaries electronically rather than by paper check. This is the first
time that the Federal Reserve has transformed
the U.S. automated clearinghouse (ACH) format
into that of another country to transfer payments
to foreign financial institutions.
Although implementation plans have not been
completed, the direct deposit of Social Security
payments to beneficiaries residing in other countries, such as Canada and West Germany, is
under study.

AMENDMENT

TO REGULATION

Y

The Federal Reserve Board announced on June
12, 1987, approval of an amendment to Regulation Y implementing amendments to the Change
in Bank Control Act required by the Anti-Drug
Abuse Act of 1986.
The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 amended the
Change in Bank Control Act (CBCA) to require
federal banking agencies to publish notice of any
filing made under the CBCA to acquire control of
a bank or a bank holding company.
The Anti-Drug Abuse Act requires the banking
agencies to publish the name of each party
acquiring control of a bank or a bank holding
company, as well as the name of the target
institution, and to solicit public comment on the
proposed acquisition, in particular from persons
in the relevant local area.

PROPOSED

ACTION

The Federal Reserve Board requested comment
by July 6, 1987, on a revised proposal to charge
assessments and fees for certain supervisory



activities. The Board had previously requested
comments on a specific schedule of assessments
and fees for the supervision of Edge act corporations and for processing various applications
submitted to the Federal Reserve System by
banks, bank holding companies, and other companies and individuals.
The Board is now seeking comment on a
revised proposal that would charge an annual
assessment for inspection and supervision of the
parent company and nondepository subsidiaries
of bank holding companies as well as a significantly reduced fee schedule for supervising Edge
act corporations and for processing applications.
While the Board is still considering whether to
begin charging for certain supervisory activities,
the Board seeks comment on this revised approach of recovering a smaller percentage of
costs over a broader range of services.

(B) the name of the bank or bank holding
company to be acquired, including, in the case
of a bank holding company, the name of each of
its subsidiary banks; and
(C) a statement that interested persons may
submit comments on the notice to the Board or
the appropriate Reserve Bank for a period of 20
days or such shorter period as may be provided
pursuant to paragraph (a)(3)(v) of this section.

will, upon filing of a notice under this subpart,
publish announcement in the Federal Register of
receipt of the notice. The Federal Register announcement will contain the information required

period as may be provided pursuant to paragraph
(a)(3)(v) of this section. The Board may waive
publication in the Federal Register if the Board
determines that such action is appropriate.
(iv) Delay of publication. The Board may permit
delay in the publication required under paragraphs (a)(3)(i) and (a)(3)(iii) if the Board determines, for good cause shown, that it is in the
public interest to grant such a delay. Requests for
delay of publication may be submitted to the
appropriate Reserve Bank.
(v) Shortening or waiving notice. In circumstances requiring prompt action, the Board may
shorten the public comment period required under
this paragraph. The Board may also waive the
newspaper publication and solicitation of public
comment requirements of this paragraph, or it
may act on a notice before the expiration of a
public comment period, if it certifies in writing
that disclosure of the notice, solicitation of public
comment, or delay until expiration of the public
comment period would seriously threaten the
safety or soundness of the bank or bank holding
company to be acquired.
(4) Consideration of public comments. In acting
upon a notice filed under this subpart, the Board
shall consider all public comments received in writing within the period specified in the newspaper or
Federal Register announcement, whichever is later.
At the Board's option, comments received after this
period may, but need not, be considered.
(5) Standing. No person (other than the acquiring
person) who submits comments or information on a
notice filed under this subpart shall thereby become
a party to the proceeding or acquire any standing or
right to participate in the Board's consideration of
the notice or to appeal or otherwise contest the
notice or the Board's action regarding the notice.

(B) any material information submitted is substantially inaccurate;
(C) it is unable to complete the investigation of
an acquiring person because of inadequate
cooperation or delay by that person; or
(D) additional time is needed to investigate and
determine that no acquiring person has a record
of failing to comply with the requirements of the
Bank Secrecy Act, subchapter II of Chapter 53
of Title 31, United States Code.
(iii) If the Board extends the time period under
this paragraph, it shall notify the acquiring person^) of the reasons therefor and shall include a
statement of the information, if any, deemed
incomplete or inaccurate.

4. Section 225.43(d) is revised to read as follows:

(d)(1) Investigation and report. After receiving a notice under this subpart, the Board or the appropriate
Reserve Bank shall conduct an investigation of the
competence, experience, integrity, and financial
ability of each person by and for whom an acquisition is to be made. The Board shall also make an
independent determination of the accuracy and
completeness of any information required to be
contained in a notice under paragraph (a) of this
section. In investigating any notice accepted under
this subpart, the Board or Reserve Bank may solicit
information or views from any person, including any
bank or bank holding company involved in the
notice, and any appropriate state, federal, or foreign
governmental authority.
(2) The Board or the appropriate Reserve Bank shall
prepare a written report of its investigation, which
shall contain, at a minimum, a summary of the
results of the investigation.

3. Section 225.43(c)(2) is revised to read as follows:
Modification

(2) Extensions of time period.
(i) The Board may extend the 60-day period in
paragraph (c)(1) of this section for an additional 30
days by notifying the acquiring person(s).
(ii) The Board may further extend the period
during which it may disapprove a notice for two
additional periods of not more than 45 days each if
the Board determines that:
(A) any acquiring person has not furnished all
the information required under paragraph (a) of
this section;



to Federal Reserve ACH

Service

The Board of Governors has modified the procedure
used by Federal Reserve Banks to recover the value of
float generated in automated clearing house (ACH)
operations due to nonstandard holiday closings by
eliminating the exception procedure for institutions
that object to receiving debits on mandatory nonstandard holidays.
The Board's policy on float recovery procedures
used by Reserve Banks when processing ACH debits
on days when a receiving institution is closed due to a
mandatory nonstandard holiday states that if a receiver of an ACH debit transaction is closed on a nonstan-

Legal Developments

661

dard holiday, the Reserve Bank will debit the receiver's account as though the institution were open or
assess the cost of the float through an explicit charge
or an as-of adjustment. If, after consultation with its
Reserve Bank, an institution still objects to receiving
debits on mandatory nonstandard holidays, the Reserve Bank will not charge the institution on such
days, but will use the preexisting procedures for
recovering the ACH float that results. (Adopted by the
Board on June 12, 1986, 51 Fed. Reg. 21,421, effective
April 1, 1987).
On May 14, 1987, NACHA, the national trade
association for depository institutions participating in
the ACH service, adopted a rule requiring its member
institutions to accept debit charges to their reserve or
clearing accounts for debit transactions on nonstandard holidays. Under Reserve Bank operating circulars, NACHA rules are incorporated by reference and
therefore apply to all ACH participants.
Because industry practice appears to call for payment of ACH debit on mandatory nonstandard holidays, the Board has determined to modify its policy to
conform with the rule adopted by NACHA. As a
result, the exceptions procedure no longer applies.
Effective July 2, 1987.

Bank is a state chartered, stock savings bank, the
accounts of which are insured by the Federal Savings
and Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC"). Bank
has adopted a plan by which it will withdraw its
insurance of deposits from the FSLIC fund and convert instead to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") insurance.
Since Bank, at the time of acquisition by Applicant,
will be a state chartered bank that accepts demand
deposits and makes commercial loans, Bank is a
"bank" for purposes of the Act, and Applicant properly has applied to acquire Bank under section 3 of the
Act, which governs the acquisition of banks by bank
holding companies.
Applicant, with deposits of $7 billion, is the second
largest commercial banking organization in Connecticut, controlling 25.8 percent of the total deposits in
commercial banks in the state. 1 After conversion to
FDIC insurance, Bank will control deposits of $76.7
million, representing less than 1 percent of the total
deposits in commercial banking organizations in the
state. 2 Upon consummation of this proposal, Applicant will continue to be the second largest commercial
banking organization in Connecticut, with no significant change in its market share or deposit size. Consummation of this proposal therefore would not have
any significant adverse effect upon the concentration
of banking resources in the state.

Upon conversion, Bank will be the 13th largest of 18
commercial banking organizations in Hartford, controlling deposits of $48.5 million, representing less
than 1 percent of the market share. Following acquisition of Bank, Applicant would remain the second
largest commercial banking organization in the Hartford banking market, controlling 36.5 percent of the

dahl-Hirschman Index ("HHI") 5 would increase by
only 8 points to 3079, and the market would remain
moderately concentrated. Consummation of this proposal therefore is unlikely to substantially lessen competition in the Hartford banking market.
Based upon a review of all facts of record, the Board
has determined that the financial and managerial resources of Applicant, its subsidiary banks and Bank
are consistent with approval. Considerations relating
to the convenience and needs of the communities to be
served also are consistent with approval of this proposal.
The Board notes that this application involves the
acquisition of a bank that results from conversion of a
non-failing, FSLIC-insured state savings bank. The
acquisition proposed here, however, does not fall
within the scope of the Board's policy and rulings
regarding acquisitions of thrift institutions under section 4 of the Act6 or the provisions of the 1982 Garn-St
Germain Depository Institution Act regarding acquisitions of thrift institutions. Upon its acquisition by
Applicant, Bank will accept demand deposits and
engage in commercial lending, and will be subject to all
the banking standards of the Act.
In addition, the Board expects that Applicant will
comply with all state and federal requirements necessary for consummation of the acquisition, and the
Board's approval of this application under the Act is
not intended to preempt any such requirements. 7 The
Board has previously stated that its approval of transactions under section 3 of the Act does not relieve an
applicant or the bank involved of the responsibility to
obtain approval under other federal or state laws and
regulations and does not shield an applicant from the
consequences of violations of other laws.8
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the application should be,
and hereby is, approved. This transaction shall not be

Federal Register 26,823 (June 29, 1984)), any market in which the
post-merger HHI is over 1800 is considered highly concentrated, and
the Department is likely to challenge a merger that increases the HHI
by more than 50 points unless other factors indicate that the merger
will not substantially lessen competition. The Department of Justice
has informed the Board that a bank merger or acquisition generally
will not be challenged (in the absence of other facts indicating an
anticompetitive effect) unless the post-merger HHI is at least 1800 and
the merger increases the HHI by at least 200 points.

Bank is a newly chartered national bank formed to
engage in traditional retail bank lending and deposit
taking activities.2 Bank will offer its services through
direct response marketing nationwide, by mail order
and by advertising in newspapers and magazines.
Bank will direct its marketing efforts to customers in
geographic areas not served by Applicants' existing
subsidiary banks. Consummation of the proposed
transaction therefore would not result in any significant adverse effects on existing or potential competition or increase the concentration of banking resources in any relevant area.
The financial resources and future prospects of
Applicants, their subsidiary banks, and Bank are considered satisfactory and consistent with approval.
In its evaluation of Applicants' managerial resources, the Board has considered certain violations of
the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act
("CFTRA") and the regulations issued thereunder by
Applicants' subsidiary banks. 3 In this regard, the
Board notes that Applicants brought these matters to
the attention of appropriate supervisory authorities
after CFTRA violations were discovered through an
internal audit program. Applicants also have cooperated fully with the Department of Treasury and law
enforcement agencies throughout the investigative
process. In addition, Applicants have undertaken a
comprehensive remedial program to correct these violations and to prevent similar violations from occurring in the future. Specifically, Applicants each have
filed corrective currency transaction
reports
("CTRs"); appointed a senior officer responsible for
ensuring compliance with CFTRA reporting requirements; instituted intensive internal training for bank
personnel regarding compliance with the CFTRA;
established a new computer software system allowing
for the centralization of exempt list computation and
the monitoring of CTRs; and required all bank personnel to participate in CFTRA retraining courses at least
once a year. Finally, Applicants have advised the
Board that they have reached agreement with the
Department of Treasury on a settlement of all outstanding CFTRA violations.
Based on the foregoing and all of the facts of record,
the Board concludes that the managerial resources of
Applicants, their subsidiary banks, and Bank are consistent with approval. Considerations related to the
convenience and needs of the communities to be
served also are consistent with approval.

KeyCorp, Albany, New York and Key Pacific Bancorp, Anchorage, Alaska ("Key Pacific") (together
"Applicants"), bank holding companies within the
meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act
(12 U.S.C. § 1841 et seq.) ("BHC Act") have applied
for the Board's approval under section 3(a)(3) of the
BHC Act (12 U.S.C. § 1842(a)(3)), to acquire all of the
voting shares of Seattle Trust & Savings Bank, Seattle, Washington ("Bank").
Notice of the application, affording opportunity for
interested persons to submit comments, has been
given in accordance with section 3(b) of the Act (52
Federal Register 17,334 (1987)). The time for filing
comments has expired, and the Board has considered
the application and all comments received in light of
the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the BHC Act
(12 U.S.C. § 1842(c)).
Applicants' proposal represents the first direct acquisition of a Washington banking organization by an
Alaska bank holding company; it also represents the
first indirect acquisition by a New York bank holding
company. The Board is prohibited under section 3(d)
of the BHC Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1842(d) ("Douglas
Amendment"), from approving any application by a
bank holding company seeking to acquire a bank or
bank holding company outside the applicant's home

state, 1 unless the state where the target bank is located
has specifically authorized the acquisition, "by language to the effect and not merely by implication."
KeyCorp's home state is New York and Key Pacific's
home state is Alaska.
Effective July 1, 1987, the statute laws of Washington2 will allow an out-of-state bank holding company
to acquire a bank located in Washington if:
(1) the bank or banking association to be acquired
has conducted business for at least three years;
(2) the laws of the state where the bank holding
company acquiror principally conducts its operations would allow a Washington bank holding company to acquire more than 5 percent of the voting
stock, or all or substantially all of the assets, of a
bank in that state and to operate the acquired bank
on no less favorable terms and conditions than are
imposed under Washington law; and
(3) the state supervisor of banking has determined
that the laws of Washington and of the acquiring
banking organization's home state are reciprocal.
Based on its review of the relevant Washington,
New York3, and Alaska4 statutes, the Board has
determined that New York and Alaska laws would
permit a Washington bank holding company to acquire
a bank in those states. The Board therefore concludes
that the proposed acquisition satisfies the requirements of Washington's interstate banking statute, and
that New York and Alaska holding companies, such as
Applicants, may acquire a bank located in Washington, such as Bank. In addition, by letter dated April 3,
1987, the Supervisor of Banking of the State of Washington has indicated that the requirements of Alaska
and New York interstate banking laws are reciprocal
with those of Washington, and that Applicants' proposal would be authorized under Washington law.
Accordingly, the Board concludes that approval of
Applicants' proposal to acquire Bank is not barred by
the Douglas Amendment.
KeyCorp is the 59th largest commercial banking
organization in the United States, with 13 bank subsidiaries in Maine, Alaska, Oregon, and New York that
control $9.1 billion in deposits. Key Pacific is the

organizations in Alaska with two bank subsidiaries.
Key Pacific controls total deposits of $502.5 million in
Alaska, representing 12.4 percent of the total deposits
in commercial banking organizations in the state. 5 Key
Pacific has one bank subsidiary in Oregon and is the
third largest of 54 commercial banking organizations in
that state. Key Pacific controls total deposits of $885.7
million in Oregon, representing 6.1 percent of total
deposits in commercial banking organizations in the
state. Bank is the seventh largest of 89 commercial
banking institutions in Washington, controlling deposits of $666.8 million, representing 2.6 percent of the
total deposits in commercial banks in the state. Consummation of this proposal therefore would not have a
significant effect upon the concentration of banking
resources in Alaska, New York or Washington.
Applicants and Bank operate in different banking
markets. Principals of Applicants are not affiliated
with any other depository organizations in any of
those markets. Applicants' proposal therefore would
not result in any adverse effects upon competition in
any relevant market. Accordingly, the Board concludes that competitive considerations under the BHC
Act are consistent with approval.
In its evaluation of Applicants' managerial resources, the Board has considered certain violations of
the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act
("CFTRA") and the regulations issued thereunder by
Applicants' subsidiary banks. 6 In this regard, the
Board notes that Applicants brought these matters to
the attention of appropriate supervisory authorities
after CFTRA violations were discovered through an

For the foregoing reasons and based upon a review
of all of the facts of record, the Board concludes that

resources of Applicants, their subsidiaries and Bank
are consistent with approval of this application. Considerations relating to the convenience and needs of

Association of Professional Insurance Agents submitted comments
protesting Board approval of this application on the grounds that the
general insurance agency activities conducted by a department of
Bank are prohibited under the amendments to section 4 of the BHC
Act contained in the 1982 Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions

will divest or terminate its general insurance agency activities within
two years of consummation of the acquisition, unless during such
period Applicants receive approval pursuant to an application under
section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act to retain such activities. During this
two-year period or unless authorization is granted pursuant to the
BHC Act for broader activities, Applicants will limit the insurance
agency activities of Bank to the renewal of existing policies and those

et seq.) ("Act"), has applied for the Board's approval
under section 3 of the Act to acquire The Eastville
Bank, Eastville, Virginia ("Bank").
Notice of the application, affording an opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments, has been
given in accordance with section 3(b) of the Act (52
Federal Register 11,547 (1987)). The time for filing
comments has expired, and the Board has considered
the applications and all comments received in light of
the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the Act.
Applicant is the fifth largest commercial banking
organization in Maryland, controlling total deposits of
$2.4 billion, representing 9.1 percent of the deposits in
commercial banks in the state. 1 Bank is among the
smaller commercial banking organizations in Virginia,
controlling total deposits of $18.5 million, representing
less than 1 percent of the deposits in commercial banks
in the state. Consummation of this proposal would not
have any significant effect upon the concentration of
banking resources in either Maryland or Virginia.
Section 3(d) of the Act, the Douglas Amendment,
prohibits the Board from approving an application by a
bank holding company to acquire a bank located
outside the bank holding company's home state, unless such acquisition is "specifically authorized by the
statute laws of the state in which such bank is located,
by language to that effect and not merely by implication." 2
Applicant's home state is Maryland. The Commonwealth of Virginia has enacted an interstate banking
statute that permits, on a reciprocal basis, the acquisition of a bank in Virginia by a bank holding company
that has its principal place of business located in a
defined region, which includes the state of Maryland,
subject to the approval of the Virginia Commissioner
of Financial Institutions. 3 Maryland has enacted a
regional interstate banking statute similar to that of
Virginia, which permits the acquisition of a Maryland
bank holding company or bank by an institution located in Virginia on a reciprocal basis.
Upon its review of the relevant Virginia and Maryland statutes, the Board has determined that the
Maryland statute satisfies the conditions of the Virginia regional interstate banking statute and that Virginia
has by statute expressly authorized a Maryland bank

holding company, such as Applicant, to acquire a
Virginia bank or bank holding company, such as
Bank.4 Moreover, the banking commissioners for
Maryland and Virginia have executed a cooperative
agreement for access to records, examinations, and
other information relating to state-chartered banks,
based on a finding of general reciprocity between the
two statutes. Accordingly, based on the above factors,
the Board concludes that the Douglas Amendment
does not prohibit Board approval of this proposal. The
Board's Order is specifically conditioned upon approval of the transaction by the Virginia Commissioner of Financial Institutions.
Applicant and Bank currently operate in different
banking markets. Principals of Applicant are not affiliated with any depository institution in the market in
which Bank operates. The proposal would not result in
any adverse effects upon competition in any relevant
market. Accordingly, the Board concludes that competitive considerations under the Act are consistent
with approval.
In its evaluation of Applicant's managerial resources, the Board has considered certain violations
by Applicant's subsidiary banks of the Currency and
Foreign Transactions Reporting Act ("CFTRA") and
the regulations thereunder. 5 The violations appear to
have been limited in scope, and Applicant has taken
appropriate remedial action to correct such violations
and prevent their reoccurrence. The sufficiency of the
compliance procedures adopted to address the
CFTRA violations at Applicant's subsidiary banks has
been reviewed by examiners from the appropriate
regulatory authorities. The Board also has consulted
with appropriate enforcement agencies, and has considered the banks' past record of overall compliance
with the law, as well as Applicant's stated commitments and programs to comply with CFTRA in the
future. For the foregoing reasons, and based upon a
review of all the facts of record, the Board finds the
managerial resources of Applicant and Bank to be
consistent with approval.
The financial resources and future prospects of
Applicant and Bank are considered satisfactory and
consistent with approval. Considerations relating to
the convenience and needs of the community to be
served are also consistent with approval.
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the application should be,

N C N B Corporation
Charlotte, North Carolina
Order Approving Acquisition of a Bank
NCNB Corporation, Charlotte, North Carolina, has
applied for the Board's approval pursuant to section
3(a)(3) of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1841 et seq.) (the "Act") to acquire NCNB Bank of
Maryland, Baltimore, Maryland ("NCNB Bank"), a
de novo Maryland-chartered trust company. NCNB
Bank is a nonoperating subsidiary that will be merged
with CentraBank, Inc., Baltimore, Maryland, a Maryland-chartered FDIC-insured mutual savings bank.
The resulting bank will be an FDIC-insured state
bank, 1 operating under NCNB Bank's charter with the
name CentraBank.
Notice of the application, affording opportunity for
interested persons to submit comments, has been
published (52 Federal Register 10,162 (1987)). The
time for filing comments has expired, and the Board
has considered all comments received in light of the
factors set forth in section 3(c) of the Act.
Applicant is the largest commercial banking organization in North Carolina, with deposits of $7.7 billion,
representing 22.2 percent of the total deposits in
commercial banks in the state. 2 Applicant also operates banks in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and
Virginia. On a consolidated basis, Applicant controls
deposits of $18.6 billion.

1. NCNB Bank filed an application to merge with CentraBank with
the FDIC on March 20, 1987.
2. Deposit data are as of December 31, 1986. Structure data are as
of June 30, 1986.

Legal Developments

CentraBank is the 18th largest commercial bank in
Maryland, with deposits of $226.6 million, representing 0.8 percent of total deposits in commercial banks in
Maryland. Because Applicant does not operate a bank
in Maryland, consummation of this proposal would
have no effect on the concentration of resources in
Maryland.
Section 3(d) of the Act (12 U.S.C. § 1842(d)), the
Douglas Amendment, prohibits the Board from approving an application by a bank holding company to
acquire control of any bank located outside of the bank
holding company's home state unless the acquisition is
"specifically authorized by the statute laws of the
state in which such bank is located, by language to that
effect and not merely by implication." 3
Applicant's home state is North Carolina. The statute laws of Maryland authorize the acquisition of a
bank or bank holding company in Maryland by a bank
holding company located in another state in a defined
region, which includes North Carolina as of July 1,
1987, if the laws of that state permit Maryland bank
holding companies to acquire banks and bank holding
companies in that state. 4 North Carolina has enacted a
similar regional interstate banking statute that permits
the acquisition of a North Carolina bank holding
company or bank by an institution located in Maryland.5
The Maryland Bank Commissioner has informed the
Board that the proposal appears to meet the requirements under Maryland law, and, accordingly, the
Commissioner anticipates approving the acquisition.
Based on the foregoing, the Board has determined that
the proposed acquisition is specifically authorized by
the statute laws of Maryland and thus is not prohibited
by the Douglas Amendment. The Board's order is
specifically conditioned upon satisfaction of the state
regulatory approval requirement and the effective date
of the provision of Maryland law that includes North
Carolina within the region.
CentraBank operates in the Baltimore banking market,6 a market in which Applicant does not operate.
Accordingly, consummation of the proposal is not
likely to result in the elimination of any significant
existing competition. In view of the numerous entrants
into the market, the Board concludes that the proposal
would not have any significant adverse effect on
probable future competition.

3. A bank holding company's home state is the state in which the
operations of the bank holding company's subsidiary banks were
principally conducted on July 1, 1966, or on the date on which the
company became a bank holding company, whichever is later.

RMA and the remainder of Harford County, Maryland.

The financial and managerial resources of Applicant, its subsidiary banks, and CentraBank are considered satisfactory and consistent with approval of this
application. In considering the convenience and needs
of the communities to be served, the Board has taken
into account Applicant's record under the Community
Reinvestment Act (12 U.S.C. § 2901 et seq.,
("CRA")), 7 and comments received from the Maryland Alliance for Responsible Investment ("MARI"),
a coalition of non-profit developers and other community-based organizations representing Baltimore's
low-income and minority neighborhoods. 8 MARI requests that the Board not approve the application until
Applicant provides adequate assurances that it will
meet the convenience and needs of the low- and
moderate-income persons, and minorities, that CentraBank currently serves. MARI also requests that the
Board deny the application because Applicant's lending practices are not consistent with safe and sound
banking practices.
In accordance with the Board's practice and procedure for handling protested applications, 9 the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond assisted in arranging several meetings between the parties to clarify the issues
under the CRA and to provide a forum for resolution
of differences. The parties, however, were unable to
come to a resolution of their differences.
In response to MARI's comments, the Board notes
that both Applicant and CentraBank have satisfactory
CRA records. Moreover, Applicant has developed a
comprehensive corporate CRA policy for Maryland in
which Applicant has committed to:
(1) name a Community Affairs Officer for Maryland
who will meet with community organizations, become familiar with available financing programs,
and work with CentraBank's branch manager, officers, and personnel to meet CRA goals;
(2) determine and monitor community needs
through study of selected low- and moderate-income
areas and meetings with community groups;
(3) use its best efforts to inform the community of its
services through marketing and advertising, with
programs specially directed at targeted areas; 10

7. The CRA requires the Board, in its evaluation of a bank holding
company application, to assess the record of an applicant in meeting
the credit needs of the entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operation.
8. Although MARI's protest was not received within the time limits
set forth by the Board, the Board has considered these comments in
reviewing this application.
9. See 12 C.F.R. § 262.25(c).
10. These areas are census tracts within the community served by
CentraBank having a median household income equal to or less than
80% of the median household income of the MSA within which the
census tracts are located.

(4) endeavor to use flexibility in applying credit
criteria, consistent with safe and sound banking
practices, and meet with community groups in order
to obtain input from such groups as to flexible
standards as well as to keep such groups informed of
lending criteria;
(5) seek to provide counseling and technical assistance to governmental and private communitybased agencies working within the targeted areas;
(6) develop basic banking services such as a program to cash government checks and a regular
checking account service at reduced maintenance
fees; and
(7) devote special elfort to providing housing, small
business, and economic development loans to targeted areas.

sales of noncredit-related insurance to CentraBank's
customers, and will limit its insurance activities to
those credit-related insurance activities permitted under section 4(c)(8)(A) of the Act. Applicant's remaining insurance activity, the sale to CentraBank and its
affiliates of insurance required for their operation, is a
permissible servicing activity under sections 4(a)(2)(A)
and 4(c)(1)(C) of the Act, and section 225.22(a)(2)(ix)
of the Board's Regulation Y. The Board previously
has determined that the prohibition on insurance activities now contained in section 4(c)(8) of the Act as a
result of the Garn Act has no bearing on the internal
operations of a bank holding company (49 Federal
Register 808 (1984)). Accordingly, the Board concludes that CentraBank's credit-related insurance activities and servicing activities are consistent with the
Act.12

In addition, Applicant has stated it will make a good
faith effort to provide at least $2 million in home
mortgage and home improvement loans as well as $1
million in small business loans in low- and moderateincome areas.
Based on the above and all the facts of record, and
after taking into account Applicant's commitments to
enhance CentraBank's service to meet the convenience and needs of its community, including low- and
moderate-income segments, the Board concludes that
convenience and needs considerations are consistent
with approval of this application.11
CentraBank currently engages, through a wholly
owned subsidiary, in the sale of both credit-related and
noncredit-related insurance to CentraBank's customers and the sale to CentraBank and its affiliates of
insurance required for their operations. The National
Association of Life Underwriters and the National
Association of Professional Insurance Agents submitted comments protesting the application on the
grounds that the activities conducted by CentraBank
are prohibited under the amendments to section 4 of
the Act contained in the 1982 Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act ("Garn Act").
In response to the protest, Applicant has committed
that, upon consummation, CentraBank will cease all

CentraBank also currently engages, through a partnership, in real estate investment activities.13 Applicant has committed that, upon consummation, CentraBank will not engage, directly or indirectly, in any real
estate investment activities impermissible under the
Act, except to complete its existing project. Applicant
has committed to complete this project and divest of it
within two years of consummation of the proposal.
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record,
including the commitments made by Applicant, the
Board has determined that the application under section 3 of the Act should be and hereby is approved.
The acquisition of NCNB Bank shall not be consummated before the thirtieth calendar day following the
effective date of this Order, or later than 90 days after
the effective date of this Order, unless such period is
extended for good cause by the Board or by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, pursuant to delegated authority.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
June 1, 1987.
Voting for this action: Chairman Volcker and Governors
Johnson, Seger, Angell, Heller, and Kelley.

11. MARI also requested that the Board deny this application
because of Applicant's lending practices to third world nations,
especially South Africa. Applicant is in compliance with all federal
laws regarding its lending activities to South Africa. In addition, as
noted above, the Board believes that Applicant's financial condition is
consistent with approval of this application.
MARI has also requested that the Board order a public meeting to
receive public testimony on the issues presented by this application.
Although section 3(b) of the Act does not require a formal hearing in
this instance, the Board may, in any case, order a formal or informal
hearing. In the Board's view, the parties have had ample opportunity
to present their arguments in writing and to respond to one another's
submissions. In light of these facts, the proposals by Applicant to
expand its services, and other facts of record, the Board has determined that a hearing would serve no useful purpose. Accordingly,
MARI's request for a public hearing is hereby denied.

12. The Independent Insurance Agents of America, Inc., the National Association of Casualty and Surety Agents, and the National
Association of Surety Bond Producers submitted comments stating
that, in light of Applicant's commitment to terminate noncreditrelated insurance sales, they did not oppose Applicant's continuation
of credit-related insurance sales permissible under section 4(c)(8)(A)
of the Act and insurance activities required for the operation of
CentraBank and its affiliates.
13. The Maryland Bank Commissioner has questioned the legality
of this investment under state law and has requested the advice of the
Maryland Attorney General on the issue. The Attorney General has
not provided an opinion yet. Applicant has committed to conform its
investment to the terms of the opinion within a reasonable period of
time following receipt of the opinion.

Orders Issued Under Section 4 of the Bank
Holding Company Act
Citicorp
N e w York, N e w York
Order Approving Purchase of Certain Assets and
Assumption of Certain Liabilities of a Savings and
Loan Association
Citicorp, New York, New York, a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. § 1841 et seq.) (the "BHC Act"),
has applied for the Board's approval under section
4(c)(8) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)), for its
subsidiary, Citicorp Savings, a Federal Savings and
Loan Association, Oakland, California ("Citicorp
Savings"), to purchase certain assets and assume
certain liabilities of 50 branch offices of Sears Savings
Bank, Glendale, California ("Sears Savings").
Notice of the application, affording opportunity for
interested persons to submit comments, has been
published (52 Federal Register 12,252 (1987)). The
time for filing comments has expired, and the Board
has considered the application and all comments received in light of the factors set forth in section 4(c)(8)
of the BHC Act.
Citicorp, with total consolidated assets of $196.1
billion, is the largest banking organization in the
United States. 1 Citicorp controls nine subsidiary
banks and engages in numerous nonbanking activities,
including the operation of savings and loan associations in California, Washington, D.C., Florida, and
Illinois.
Citicorp Savings is a federally chartered, FSLICinsured savings and loan association ("S&L"), which
is the successor to the failed Fidelity Savings & Loan
Association. 2 Citicorp Savings has total assets of $4.9
billion and operates 86 branches in California, primarily in the northern part of the state.
Sears Savings is a California-chartered, FSLICinsured S&L and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sears
Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Illinois. Sears Savings has
91 branches in California, predominantly in the southern part of the state, and $6.6 billion in total assets.
Citicorp Savings proposes to assume approximately
$2 billion of deposits and other liabilities and to
purchase approximately $1.9 billion in tangible assets
of 50 branch offices of Sears Savings.

669

Section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1843(c)(8)) authorizes a bank holding company to
engage in nonbanking activities and acquire shares of a
nonbanking company that engages in activities determined by the Board to be "so closely related to
banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a
proper incident thereto." The Board previously has
determined that the operation of a thrift institution is
closely related to banking.3
With respect to the "proper incident" requirement,
section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act requires the Board to
consider whether the performance of the activity by an
affiliate of a holding company "can reasonably be
expected to produce benefits to the public, such as
greater convenience, increased competition, or gains
in efficiency that outweigh possible adverse effects,
such as undue concentration of resources, decreased
or unfair competition, conflicts of interests, or unsound banking practices."
In 1977, the Board determined that, as a general
matter, the operation of an S&L was not a proper
incident to banking because the potential adverse
effects of generally allowing affiliations of banks and
S&Ls were then sufficiently strong to outweigh any
public benefits that might result from individual cases.4 In evaluating this application, the Board has
considered whether Citicorp's proposal involves the
acquisition of an existing, healthy S&L, thus requiring
the Board to reconsider its D.H. Baldwin decision that
the acquisition of a healthy thrift is not generally a
proper incident to banking, or whether the proposal
represents merely the permissible acquisition of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of
S&L branches.
Based upon its review of the record, the Board has
concluded that Citicorp's proposal properly may be
viewed as the permissible acquisition of certain assets
and liabilities of S&L branches rather than the acquisition of an S&L. The acquisition here involves less than
one-third of Sears Savings' assets and liabilities, and
Sears Savings will not be eliminated as a competitor in
any relevant market. 5 This proposal also is consistent

(1977). While the Board has not permitted bank holding companies to
acquire thrift institutions on a general basis, the Board has consistently regarded the BHC Act as authorizing it to permit such an acquisition and has approved several such proposals involving failing thrift
institutions on the basis that any adverse effects would be overcome
by the public benefits of preserving the failing thrift institutions. See,

with the branching restrictions in the Board's Order
allowing the initial acquisition of Citicorp Savings,
since the branches to be acquired are all at locations at
which a state or national bank in California may
establish a branch. 6
Citicorp Savings is the 21st largest depository institution among commercial banking organizations and
S&Ls in California, with total deposits of $2.9 billion,
representing less than 1 percent of the total deposits in
commercial banks and thrifts in the state. Upon consummation of the proposal, Citicorp Savings would
become the 15th largest depository institution among
commercial banking organizations and S&Ls in California, and the ninth largest S&L in California, controlling 1.4 percent of the total deposits in commercial
banks and thrifts in the state. Accordingly, the Board
concludes that consummation of this proposal would
not have a significant adverse effect on the concentration of commercial bank and thrift institution resources.
Citicorp Savings and Sears Savings compete for
S&L services in the Los Angeles, San FranciscoOakland-San Jose, and San Diego markets. 7 Upon
consummation of the proposal, Citicorp Savings' market share would be less than 5 percent (based on
deposits in commercial banks and thrifts) in each of
the markets, and the increase in concentration in the
markets would not be substantial. Accordingly, the
Board concludes that consummation of this proposal
will not have a significant adverse effect on existing
competition in any relevant market. The Board also
concludes that the proposal would not have any significant adverse effect on probable future competition.
In evaluating this application, the Board has considered the financial resources of Applicant and the effect
on these resources of the proposed acquisition. The
Board has stated and continues to believe that capital
adequacy is an especially important factor in the
analysis of bank holding company proposals, particularly in transactions where a significant acquisition is
proposed. 8
In this regard, the Board expects that banking
organizations experiencing substantial growth internally and by acquisition, such as Applicant, should

maintain a strong capital position substantially above
the minimum levels specified in the Capital Adequacy
Guidelines without significant reliance on intangibles,
particularly goodwill.9 The Board will carefully analyze the effect of expansion proposals on the preservation or achievement of such capital positions.
The Board has reviewed this case in the light of
Applicant's capital and asset position. In approving
this application, the Board has relied on the assurances of Applicant that it plans to strengthen its capital
base in the near term, and the Board intends to
monitor progress toward this objective. Accordingly,
on the basis of the above considerations, the Board
concludes that financial factors are consistent with
approval of the application. Managerial factors and
convenience and needs also are consistent with approval.
The Board also concludes that consummation of the
proposal will not result in conflicts of interests, unsound banking practices, undue concentration of resources, or other adverse effects.
Based upon the foregoing and all the facts of record,
the Board has determined that the balance of public
interest factors it is required to consider under section
4(c)(8) of the BHC Act is favorable. Accordingly, the
application is hereby approved. This determination is
subject to the conditions set forth in sections 225.4(d)
and 225.23(b)(3) of the Board's Regulation Y,
12 C.F.R. § 225.4(d) and 225.23(b)(3). The approval is
also subject to the Board's authority to require modification or termination of the activities of the holding
company or any of its subsidiaries as the Board finds
necessary to assure compliance with the provisions
and purposes of the BHC Act and the Board's regulations and orders issued thereunder, or to prevent
evasion thereof.
This transaction shall not be consummated later
than three months after the effective date of this
Order, unless such period is extended for good cause
by the Board, or by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, pursuant to delegated authority.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective

Security Pacific Corporation
Los Angeles, California
Order Approving an Application to provide AssetBased Credit Facilities to Commercial Borrowers
Security Pacific Corporation, Los Angeles, California,
a bank holding company within the meaning of the
Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. § 1841 et seq.)
(the "Act"), has applied for the Board's approval,
pursuant to section 4(c)(8) of the Act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1843 (c)(8)), to acquire substantially all of the assets
of Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc., Dallas, Texas
("Company").
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
published (52 Federal Register 10,632 (1987)). The
time for filing comments has expired, and the Board
has considered the application and all comments received in light of the public interest factors set forth in
section 4(c)(8) of the Act.
Applicant is a multibank holding company with six
subsidiary banks in California, Arizona, Washington,
and Oregon, controlling $31 billion in domestic deposits.1 Applicant also engages through subsidiaries in
various nonbanking activities.
Company engages in providing asset-based credit
facilities to commercial borrowers nationwide, including accounts receivable, inventory, capital equipment,
and leveraged buyout/merger financing. This activity
is permissible under Regulation Y (12 C.F.R.
§ 225.25(b)(l)(iv)).
In order to approve this application, the Board must
also find that the performance of the proposed activity
can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the
public, such as greater convenience, increased competition, or gains in efficiency, that outweigh possible
adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of
interest, or unsound banking practices. Both Applicant and Company engage in commercial finance
nationwide, and therefore, some existing competition
would be eliminated as a result of consummation of the
proposal. The combined market share resulting from
the acquisition, however, would be approximately 3
percent. In addition, given the large number of alternative participants providing similar services, no appreciable amount of potential or probable future competition would be eliminated by the proposal.
Accordingly, the Board does not regard the proposed

acquisition as raising any significant competitive
issues.
Consummation of the proposal will provide public
benefits in the form of increased commercial finance
services to the market currently served by Company.
Company's parent, Wells Fargo & Company, San
Francisco, California, has made a corporate decision
to withdraw from the commercial finance business.
Applicant's acquisition of Company will preserve a
competitor in the market and Applicant will provide
the financial and managerial resources to support the
continued operation of Company.
In evaluating this application, the Board also has
considered the financial resources of Applicant and
the effect on those resources of the proposed acquisition. In this regard, the Board has previously expressed concern that expansionary proposals should
be based on the maintenance of an adequate tangible
primary capital position. In connection with an earlier
acquisition which had the effect of decreasing Applicant's tangible primary capital,2 Applicant expressed
its intention to restore its tangible primary capital ratio
to pre-acquisition levels and to continue to strengthen
its capital position. In this case, the proposal would
involve only a negligible reduction in Applicant's
tangible primary capital ratio, and should not have any
material effect on applicant's ability to meet its stated
capital goals. Based on the above facts, particularly
Applicant's plans to continue to strengthen its primary
capital position, the Board concludes that the financial
and managerial resources of Applicant are consistent
with approval.
There is no evidence in the record to indicate that
consummation of the proposal would lead to any
undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair
competition, unsound banking practices, or other adverse effects. Based on the foregoing and all the facts
of record, the Board has determined that the balance
of public interest factors it is required to consider
under section 4(c)(8) is favorable. Accordingly, the
application is hereby approved. This determination is
subject to the conditions set forth in sections 225.4(d)
and 225.23(b)(3) of the Board's Regulation Y,
12 C.F.R. §§ 225.4(d) and 225.23(b)(3). The approval
is also subject to the Board's authority to require
modification or termination of the activities of the
holding company or any of its subsidiaries as the
Board finds necessary to assure compliance with the
provisions and purposes of the Act and the Board's
regulations and orders issued thereunder, or to prevent evasion thereof. This transaction shall not be

Sovran Financial Corporation
Norfolk, Virginia
Order Approving Retention Shares of an Insurance
Agency
Sovran Financial Corporation, Norfolk, Virginia
("Sovran"), a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1841 et seq.) (the "BHC Act"), has applied for the
Board's approval under section 4(c)(8)(D) of the BHC
Act and section 225.25(b)(8)(iv) of Regualtion Y
(12 C.F.R. § 225.25(b)(8)(iv)), to retain indirectly all of
the voting shares of Sovran Insurance, Inc., a company that engages in general insurance agency activities,
including the sale of life and property and casualty
insurance to the general public.
Applicant has total consolidated assets of approximately $14.6 billion and controls banks in Maryland,
Virginia and the District of Columbia.1 Applicant also
engages through certain subsidiaries in a variety of
nonbanking activities permissible for bank holding
companies.
On February 27, 1986, the Board approved an
application under the BHC Act by Sovran to acquire
Suburban Bancorp, Bethesda, Maryland, and its subsidiary bank, Suburban Bank. Suburban Bank, since
1964, has controlled, pursuant to Maryland law, Suburban Insurance, Inc. (now renamed Sovran Insurance, Inc.), which engages in general insurance agency
activities. Suburban Bancorp, which became a bank
holding company in 1972 through acquisition of Suburban Bank, has since that time claimed entitlement to
retain indirect ownership and control of the insurance

of company that engages in activities the parent state
bank may conduct directly. 12 C.F.R. § 225.22(d)(2).
Sovran's application to acquire Suburban Bancorp
was protested by various insurance industry trade
groups on the ground that Suburban Insurance's activities are prohibited under Title VI of the Garn-St
Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982. The
Garn-St Germain Act amended section 4 of the BHC
Act to provide that, with seven specific exceptions,
insurance activities are not closely related to banking
and thus are not generally permissible for bank holding
companies. 2
The Board's February 27, 1986, Order approving
Sovran's acquisition of Suburban Bancorp did not
resolve this issue. In response to the protests, Sovran
committed that if its acquisition of Suburban Bank
were approved, Suburban Insurance would, upon its
acquisition by Sovran, cease writing new policies until
the Board acted to resolve the legal questions raised
by its insurance activities. On the basis of this commitment, the acquisition was consummated on March 31,
1986.3
On November 11, 1986, Sovran filed the present
application claiming entitlement to retain indirect control over Suburban Insurance pursuant to section
4(c)(8)(D) of the BHC Act, the grandfather provision
of the Garn-St Germain Act (hereinafter "exemption D"). This section provides an exception to the
general insurance prohibition of the Garn-St Germain
Act for any insurance agency activity which was
engaged in by a bank holding company or any of its
subsidiaries on May 1, 1982, subject to certain geographic and functional limitations.4

comments has expired, and the Board has considered
the application and all comments received in light of
the factors set forth in section 4 of the BHC Act. 5
Protestants assert that the Board should not approve
the application because Suburban Bank is prohibited
by Maryland law from engaging directly in general
insurance agency activities and thus, under section
225.22(d)(2) of the Board's Regulation Y, could not
acquire or retain control of a company engaged in
these activities. On this basis, Protestants claim Suburban Insurance was not lawfully held by Suburban
Bancorp under the BHC Act or Regulation Y on May
1, 1982, the grandfather date under exemption D, and
thus Suburban Insurance does not qualify for grandfather privileges under exemption D. Protestants also
contend that, even if Suburban Insurance qualifies for
grandfather privileges under exemption D, those
grandfather privileges would terminate if it were acquired by another bank holding company, such as
Sovran, which has no grandfather rights under the
BHC Act. 6
Applicant responds that Suburban Bancorp and its
indirect subsidiary, Suburban Insurance, qualify under
exemption D because Suburban Insurance was engaging in the insurance agency activities in question on
May 1, 1982, with the full knowledge and consent of
the Board and the state regulatory authorities, and that
Suburban's grandfather privileges do not terminate
when it is acquired by another bank holding company.
Alternatively, Applicant contends that the Board
should disregard the separate corporate identity of the
insurance agency subsidiary and treat its insurance
activities as being conducted directly by the parent
state bank, and thus, in Applicant's view, outside the
scope of the nonbanking and insurance restrictions in
section 4 of the BHC Act. Finally, Applicant contends
that the nonbanking provisions of section 4 of the BHC
Act do not apply to nonbank subsidiaries of holding
company banks and thus Suburban Insurance may
continue to sell insurance regardless of whether Suburban Insurance's activities comply with the Board's
state bank regulation.

5. The Board received comments from the following associations
opposing approval of the application ("Protestants"): the Independent Insurance Agents of America, the National Association of
Casualty and Surety Agents, the National Association of Surety Bond
Producers, the National Association of Life Underwriters, the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents, the Maryland State
Association of Life Underwriters, the PIA Association of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware, the American Council of Life Insurance,
the American Insurance Association, the National Association of
Independent Insurers, and the Alliance of American Insurers.
6. In addition, Protestants contend that Exemption D only applies
where the activities were conducted pursuant to specific approval
from the Board under section 4(c)(8) of the Act and that in any event
Suburban Bank may not under Maryland law control an affiliate
engaged in general insurance agency activities.




673

After considering the arguments of the Applicant
and Protestants, as well as the views of the Maryland
Bank Commissioner and the Maryland Insurance
Commissioner, the Board has determined that Suburban Bancorp is entitled to retain indirect ownership
and control of Suburban Insurance under exemption D
and section 225.25(b)(8)(iv) of Regulation Y and that
this entitlement does not terminate upon Suburban
Bancorp's acquisition by Sovran. With regard to Applicant's contention regarding the applicability of section 4 of the BHC Act to nonbanking companies
controlled by holding company banks, the Board has
previously determined that under the specific terms of
the BHC Act, the acquisition and retention by holding
company banks of voting shares of nonbanking companies is governed by section 4 of the BHC Act. 7 As
this case reflects, the Board has had in place since
1971 a regulation promulgated under the BHC Act that
governs the type of nonbanking activities in which
nonbank companies controlled by holding company
banks may engage. In light of the Board's determination regarding Sovran's application for grandfather
rights under exemption D, however, the Board finds it
unnecessary to address Applicant's alternative contentions, including its views on the scope of coverage
of section 4 of the Act.

A. Suburban Insurance Qualifies For
Grandfather Privileges Under Exemption
the Garn-St Germain Act

As indicated, exemption D by its terms provides an
exception to the general prohibition on the conduct by
bank holding companies of insurance activities for
those insurance agency activities engaged in by a bank
holding company or any of its subsidiaries on May 1,
1982, subject to certain geographic and functional
limitations.8
The record is clear that on the relevant date, May 1,
1982, Suburban Insurance was engaged in insurance
agency activities and therefore meets the literal qualifications for grandfather rights under the exemption.

Federal Reserve Bulletin • August 1987

The Board notes that the Senate Banking Committee
report associated with exemption D explains that the
activities grandfathered under this provision must
have been engaged in pursuant to and in accordance
with the applicable statutory and regulatory standards
in effect on May 1, 1982.9 Thus, the question raised by
this application is whether Suburban Insurance's activities on that date were being conducted in conformance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements for purposes of exemption D.
Suburban Bancorp never applied under section
4(c)(8) of the BHC Act to acquire or retain indirect
ownership or control of Suburban Insurance. Rather,
when it applied to become a bank holding company in
1972, Suburban Bancorp relied upon section 225.22(d)
of the Board's Regulation Y as authority to acquire
and retain indirect control of Suburban Insurance. As
noted, this regulatory provision provides an exception
to the general nonbanking prohibitions of the BHC Act
by permitting a state bank, without the Board's prior
approval, "to acquire or retain all. . . of the securities
of a company that engages solely in activities in which
the parent bank may engage, at locations which the
bank may engage in the activity, and subject to the
same limitations as if the bank were engaging in the
activity directly." 12 C.F.R. § 225.22(d)(2).
In order to qualify under this regulation, the company in question must be engaged in activities that the
bank could conduct directly. 10 Protestants argue that
Suburban Insurance is not now, and was not on May 1,
1982, operating in accordance with this requirement of
the Board's regulation because Maryland banking and
insurance law prohibit a Maryland bank from engaging
directly in insurance agency activities.11
The insurance activities of Suburban Bank may be
traced back to 1922, when Prince George's Bank, a
predecessor of Suburban Bank, sold insurance
through licensed agents. Insurance sales by employees
of the bank or predecessor institutions continued, and
in 1955 a formal insurance department was organized
within the bank. In 1964, Suburban Bank consolidated

10. See e.g., Piedmont Carolina Financial Services, 59 FEDERAL
RESERVE BULLETIN 766 (1973), where the Board stated that this
regulatory provision would permit a holding company to acquire a
company engaged in insurance activities that the bank could conduct
directly. The Board specifically noted, however, that this company
could not be acquired under this provision, if state law permitted the
bank to invest in shares of a company engaging in this activity, but did
not permit the bank to engage in the activity directly.
11. Protestants also assert that this provision of Regulation Y is
invalid. However, since this regulation was in effect on May 1, 1982,
compliance with it would satisfy the requirements of exemption D,
regardless of later challenges to its validity.




the insurance department with an incorporated affiliate
of the bank that was engaged in holding bank premises, Citizens Building, Inc. In 1984, the subsidiary's
name was changed to Suburban Insurance, Inc.
In connection with its application to become a bank
holding company in 1972, Suburban Bancorp advised
the Board that Suburban Bank controlled a general
insurance agency, and Suburban has subsequently
kept the Board apprised of the affiliate's insurance
activities. On September 12, 1972, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, in order to respond to an
inquiry from a law firm representing certain insurance
interests, inquired of the Maryland Bank Commissioner whether such insurance activities were permitted
for state banks in Maryland. On September 14, 1972,
the Maryland Deputy Bank Commissioner responded
by advising that the Department was aware of the
insurance activities of Suburban and "took no exception." In 1986, in connection with the processing of
Sovran's application to acquire Suburban Bancorp,
the Maryland Bank Commissioner advised the Board
that that office had been aware of the insurance agency
activities conducted by Suburban Bank directly and
through Suburban Insurance and that "Suburban's
insurance activities are and have been lawful activities
for a state-chartered bank in Maryland."
However, in 1987 the Maryland Insurance Commissioner informed the Board that Suburban Bank could
not engage directly in insurance agency activities
under the State Insurance Code as it now stands and as
it stood in 1982.12 Under Maryland law, only a corporation engaged primarily in the insurance business may
obtain an insurance license.13 The Commissioner advised that because Suburban Bank is primarily engaged in the banking business, it could not be issued a
license to sell insurance and could not receive commissions for procuring or influencing the procurement of
insurance sales.14 The Insurance Commissioner confirmed that Suburban Bank could control a company
that holds a license to sell insurance and that Suburban
Insurance's current activities were fully consistent
with Maryland insurance laws.
While it now appears in retrospect that Suburban
Insurance's activities did not qualify for the exemption
under the section 225.22(d)(2) of Regulation Y on May
1, 1982, the overriding factor in this case is that the
activities were being conducted on that date and for

Legal Developments

many years prior thereto with the knowledge of the
Board and state regulatory agencies and without a
determination by these agencies that the activities
were not in accordance with applicable statutes and
regulations. On this basis, the Board finds that Suburban Insurance qualifies for grandfather privileges under exemption D.15
The purpose of a grandfather provision is to avoid
the disruption of settled and established relationships
and to maintain the status quo. The legislative history
of exemption D specifically states that it is intended to
permit the "continuation of previously authorized
insurance activities." 16 The insurance activities of
Suburban Insurance were authorized to the extent that
these activities were conducted with the full knowledge of and without objection from the Board on May
1, 1982, and are thus within the type of insurance
activity Congress sought to protect in exemption D.
While it appears that, based on information brought to
the Board's attention in 1987—16 years after Suburban
became a bank holding company and informed the
Board of its interest in Suburban Insurance—Suburban Insurance may not have technically qualified
under the Board's regulation, that determination
should not be applied retroactively to deprive the
company of a benefit which under the terms of the
statute are made available to any company engaged in
the activity on May 1, 1982. Further, given the intent
of the grandfather provision, it would not appear
appropriate to upset settled and long-standing relationships which existed on the grandfather date with the
knowledge of and without objection from appropriate
regulatory authorities.
In this regard, the Board has considered the legislative history of exemption D which, as noted, indicates
that grandfather privileges were not intended for companies that were operating in violation of applicable
statutes and regulations. This legislative history does
not, however, in the Board's view, indicate a Congressional intent to foreclose grandfather rights to holding
company subsidiaries that had been selling insurance

15. Protestants further contend that a Maryland bank is not authorized under Maryland banking law to sell insurance. As noted, the
Maryland Bank Commissioner has advised the Board in writing on
two occasions (in 1972 and in 1986) that Suburban Bank's insurance
activities are authorized under Maryland banking law. The Commissioner has referred to a provision of the Maryland Code that permits a
state bank to exercise all of the powers usual in carrying on a banking
business. (Md. Financial Institutions Code § 3-206(b)(12)).
The present application does not require the Board to resolve this
dispute over permissible banking powers under Maryland law. Even if
the Maryland Bank Commissioner's conclusion is erroneous, the
Board nevertheless believes that Suburban Insurance qualifies for the
grandfather privileges under exemption D in light of the facts and
circumstances relating to its conduct of insurance activities on May 1,
1982, as discussed in detail in this Order.
16. S. Rep. No. 536, 97th Cong. 2d Sess. 71 (1982).

on the grandfather date with the approval of state
banking and insurance regulatory authorities and with
no determination by the Board that the activities of the
subsidiary were not in compliance with the BHC Act
or Board's regulations under the Act. In such circumstances, showing that the bank holding company was
not operating in disregard of applicable statutes or
regulations on the grandfather date, the holding company would, in the Board's view, qualify for grandfather rights under the terms and Congressional intent of
exemption D.
Finally, the Board believes that equitable considerations would also indicate that since the insurance
activities of Suburban Insurance were known to the
public since 1972, and were being conducted with the
knowledge of the Board since that date, it would be
unfair to now penalize Suburban Insurance for any
incorrect assumptions regarding state law. For example, in Independent Bankers Association of America v.
Heimann,17 the court held that an industry trade group
could not challenge an interpretive ruling of the Comptroller of the Currency which had been issued 12 years
earlier and of which the trade group had knowledge.
The court stated: "Equity will not protect a party that
through years of silence has created an impression of
acquiescence that has led others to make substantial
financial commitments." Id. at 488.
Protestants also argue that in order to qualify for
grandfather privileges under exemption D, the bank
holding company must have obtained specific approval from the Board under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act
to conduct the particular activity and that the insurance activity must be directly related to an extension
of credit by an affiliate as opposed to the type of
general insurance activity conducted by Suburban
Insurance. Because Suburban Insurance's activities
were not specifically approved by Board order under
section 4(c)(8) of the Act and are not confined to the
sale of credit-related insurance, Protestants claim Suburban Insurance does not qualify under exemption D.
Neither the language of exemption D nor its legislative
history supports this position.
The language of the statute states clearly and unambiguously that it applies to any insurance activity that
was engaged in on May 1, 1982, or which was approved by the Board on or before that date. Thus, the
language itself does not limit grandfather rights to the
sale of credit-related insurance or to insurance activities that were specifically approved by the Board by
order under section 4(c)(8).
The legislative history of this section confirms this
interpretation. A prior version of the statute (H.R.

17. 627 F.2d 486 (D.C. Cir. 1980).

676

Federal Reserve Bulletin • August 1987

2255, 96th Cong. 1st. Sess. (1979)) grandfathered insurance activities which were engaged in on or before
a grandfather date, but only if such activities were
specifically approved by the Board. During hearings
on this bill held by the House Banking Committee, the
Association of Bank Holding Companies protested
that this grandfather provision "fails to take into
consideration insurance activities which were "grandfathered" in 1956, 1966 and 1970, and for which there
was never an occasion to have an application approved by the Board." 18 Following these hearings, the
House Banking Committee reported out a version of
H.R. 2255 that deleted the requirement for Board
approval, and instead grandfathered any insurance
activity lawfully engaged in on the specified grandfather date. (H.R. Rep. No. 845, 96th Cong. 2d Sess.
(1980)). This grandfather language was adopted, with
modifications, by the Senate (See, S. Rep. No. 923,
96th Cong. 2d Sess (1980)).
In the Board's view, this legislative history makes it
clear that the grandfather provision in exemption D
was not intended to be limited to the credit-related
property and casualty insurance activities approved by
the Board under section 4(c)(8) of the Act prior to
enactment of the Garn-St Germain Act.
B. Suburban Insurance's
Grandfather
Privileges do not Terminate Upon its
Acquisition by a Non-Grandfathered
Bank
Holding
Company
Under section 4 of the BHC Act, Sovran may not
directly or indirectly acquire control of a nonbank
company, unless the acquisition qualifies under one of
the exceptions found in the Act. 12 U.S.C. § 1843(a).
In this case, Sovran is claiming the exception in
section 4(c)(8)(D), which as noted grandfathers insurance activities conducted by a bank holding company
or any of its subsidiaries on May 1, 1982. However, on
this date, Suburban Insurance was a subsidiary of
Suburban Bancorp, thus raising the issue whether
Suburban Insurance loses its grandfather rights under
exemption D when its parent holding company is
acquired by another bank holding company.
Section 4(c)(8)(D) of the BHC Act does not specifically deal with this question. The Senate Committee
report associated with this legislation, however, explains that:

18. Hearings on H.R. 2255 before the Subcomm. on Financial
Institutions Supervision, Regulation and Insurance of the House
Comm. on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs, 96th Cong. 1st Sess.
285 (1979).




The authority to engage in activities under the grandfather amendment only extends to the entity, be that the
holding company itself or a subsidiary or subsidiaries
thereof, which qualifies for the grandfathered activities
status. 19

This legislative history as well as the terms of the
statute indicate a Congressional intent that the grandfather privilege be limited to the entity which qualifies
for the grandfather privilege under exemption D, in
this case Suburban Insurance. In other words, exemption D rights attach to the entity actually conducting
the activity on the grandfather date. As long as it is
only that grandfathered subsidiary that conducts the
activity and not some other affiliate, the requirements
of exemption D are satisfied. Thus, in the Board's
view, the intent of the statute is that the grandfathered
subsidiary continues to be able to engage in the
activity, even if acquired by another bank holding
company so long as the subsidiary complies with the
geographic and functional limitations proscribed in
exemption D.
The Board believes this conclusion is consistent
with the overall intent of the grandfather provision to
permit the continuation of established relationships.
There is nothing in the legislative history that suggests
that a company that was engaged in an insurance
activity under the BHC Act for many years should
cease the activity because it is acquired by another
bank holding company, when the acquisition would
not add an additional insurance competitor or permit
the grandfathered subsidiary to expand its activities.
As noted, Suburban Insurance could not expand its
insurance activities to any location or in any manner
other than as permitted under exemption D before
Suburban's acquisition by Sovran. In other words, the
acquisition does not disturb the status quo insofar as
the insurance activities of Suburban Insurance are
concerned.
On two prior occasions, the Board has determined
that grandfather privileges under exemption D do not
terminate when the grandfathered entity is acquired by
another bank holding company, provided the insurance activities continue to be conducted by the subsidiary that actually conducted the activity on the grandfather date and would not be expanded to other
affiliates of the bank holding company.
In 1983, the Board allowed Seafirst Corporation to
continue to sell credit-related property and casualty
insurance after its acquisition by BankAmerica. 20 The

Legal Developments

Board noted that Seafirst was entitled under the terms
of exemption D to continue to sell the insurance
because it was lawfully engaged in the activity on May
1, 1982, pursuant to a prior Board approval. The Board
concluded that Seafirst could continue to engage in
that particular activity after its acquisition by BankAmerica because Seafirst would remain an independent and separate subsidiary of BankAmerica and the
activity would not be conducted by any other subsidiary of BankAmerica or through any of its other
offices. The Board concluded that under the circumstances presented there, the grandfathered insurance
activity would not be transferred to any other entity or
conducted beyond the scope Congress intended in
exemption D.
Similarly, in late 1983, the Board permitted the Fuji
Bank, Ltd. to acquire Walter Heller Inc.'s commercial
finance subsidiary, including a subsidiary that sold
property and casualty insurance in connection with
loans by the finance company. 21 The Board noted that
the Heller subsidiary was entitled to grandfather rights
under exemption D because it received Board approval to engage in the activity before May 1, 1982. As in
the BankAmerica case, the Board allowed the subsidiary, after its acquisition by Fuji, to continue to
conduct the grandfathered activity, noting that the
insurance agency would remain an independent and
separate subsidiary of Fuji, would conduct activities
only from its office in Chicago and only in connection
with loans by the finance company. 22
The Board notes that it has in the past required the
termination of grandfather privileges under section
4(a) of the BHC Act when the company entitled to
those rights was acquired by another company. 23
However, unlike the situation under exemption D, the
terms and legislative history of the grandfather provision of section 4(a) indicate that grandfather rights
were limited only to those companies that were initially brought under the terms of the Bank Holding
Company Act by the 1970 amendments to that Act. As
discussed above, the terms of exemption D and its
legislative history indicate that a grandfathered bank
holding company would be permitted to continue to
conduct insurance activities so long as the grandfath-

ered activities are conducted by the subsidiary that
was conducting the activity on May 1, 1982.
Based on these factors, the Board concludes that
Sovran may retain indirect ownership and control of
Suburban Insurance, pursuant to section 4(c)(8)(D),
provided that Suburban's general insurance agency
activities are limited to those conducted on the grandfather date and that these activities are conducted only
by Suburban Insurance, which must remain an independent and separate subsidiary of Sovran. Consistent
with the provisions of exemption D, Suburban Insurance must limit its general insurance agency activities
to the state in which its parent holding company,
Suburban Bancorp, maintained its principal place of
business on May 1, 1982 (/. e. Maryland), states
adjacent to Maryland including the District of Columbia, and any additional states in which Suburban
Insurance conducted insurance agency activities on
May 1, 1982. See 12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)(D) and
12 C.F.R. § 225.25(b)(8)(iv).
C. Other

Issues

Protestants question whether Suburban Bank may be
lawfully affiliated with an insurance agency under
Maryland banking law, even if the exemption D provision applies. The Protestants note that the Maryland
Banking Code provides that, except with the prior
approval of the State Bank Commissioner, no banking
institution may have an affiliate. (Md. Financial Institutions Code § 5-403 (1986)). The Bank Commissioner
may approve an affiliation with a company providing
insurance services, but only if the approval imposes
the same conditions that federal law requires or permits for a national bank. (Id.) Since national banks are
not currently authorized to conduct the types of general insurance agency activities at issue here (except in
towns with populations of 5,000 or less), Protestants
conclude that Suburban Bank cannot be lawfully affiliated with a company engaging in such insurance
agency activities.
On March 12, 1987, the Maryland Bank Commissioner advised the Board that Suburban Bank's control of the insurance affiliate was permissible under the
Maryland Banking Code. Under the Maryland Banking Code, restrictions on bank affiliations do not affect
any affiliate, if the affiliation existed on June 1, 1935.
(Md. Financial Institutions Code § 5-402 (1986)). In
this instance, since the affiliation in question can be
traced back to 1932, it would appear to be exempt from
the provisions in the Maryland Code limiting affiliations of Maryland banks. Based on this analysis of
Maryland law, the Board has determined to accept the
Maryland Bank Commissioner's conclusion with respect to the consistency of this particular affiliation

678

Federal Reserve Bulletin • August 1987

under Maryland law insofar as it applies to the conduct
of insurance agency activities that the affiliate has
conducted since 1964.
D. Public

Benefits

While the Board has determined that Suburban Insurance's general insurance activities are permissible
under section 4(c)(8)(D) of the BHC Act and section
225.25(b)(8)(iv) of Regulation Y, the Board must also
determine that these activities are a proper incident to
banking under section 4(c)(8) of the Act. In making
this determination, the Board must consider whether
the performance of the activity can reasonably be
expected to produce benefits to the public that outweigh possible adverse elfects.
The Board believes that approval of this application
will maintain competition in the provision of insurance
agency services in the area served by Suburban Insurance and will avoid disrupting established relationships between Suburban Insurance and its customers.
The Board finds that there is no evidence in the record
to indicate that approval of this proposal would result
in undue concentration of resources, unfair or decreased competition, conflicts of interest, unsound
banking practices, or other adverse elfects. Accordingly, the Board has determined that the balance of the
public interest factors it must consider under section
4(c)(8) of the Act is favorable and consistent with
approval of the application.
E. Request for

Hearing

Protestants have requested that the Board conduct a
hearing on the application in order to determine the
historical facts that underlie Suburban's entry into the
insurance field, the status of Maryland law, and Sovran's plans to expand its insurance operations in the
future. Under section 4 of the Bank Holding Company
Act, a protestant is not entitled to a hearing on every
application. A hearing is only required when there are
material issues of fact in dispute. 24

24. Connecticut Bankers Assn. v. Board of Governors, 627 F.2d 245
(D.C. Cir. 1980).




In this case, there are no material issues of fact in
dispute. The historical facts relating to Suburban's
entry into the insurance field have been established,
and no specific allegation has been made that these
facts are in error. The issues relating to Maryland law
and its interplay with the Bank Holding Company Act
are legal issues, not factual, and therefore a hearing is
not required to resolve this matter. With respect to the
future activities of Suburban Insurance, exemption D
specifically limits the geographic and functional scope
of the grandfathered insurance activities, and thus
Sovran's future plans with respect to these activities
are circumscribed by the statute. Accordingly, the
Board has determined that a hearing is not required in
this case and hereby denies protestants' request for a
hearing.25
Based on the foregoing, the Board has determined
that the application under section 4 should be, and
hereby is, approved. This determination is subject to
all of the conditions set forth in Regulation Y, and the
requirement that the insurance activities are conducted solely by Sovran Insurance, which must remain an
independent subsidiary of Suburban Bancorp. It is
also subject to the Board's authority to require such
modification or termination of activities of the bank
holding company or any of its subsidiaries as the
Board finds necessary to assure compliance with, and
prevent evasions of, the provisions and purposes of
the BHC Act and the Board's regulations and orders
issued thereunder.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
June 29, 1987.
V o t i n g for this action: C h a i r m a n V o l c k e r and G o v e r n o r s
S e g e r , A n g e l l , and K e l l e y . A b s e n t and not voting: G o v e r n o r s
J o h n s o n and Heller.

25. One protestant makes the claim that a public hearing is required
under the net public benefits standard in the Act because of issues
relating to the nature and extent of Suburban Insurance's proposed
activities. However, as noted Suburban Insurance's activities will be
limited by statute to those in which it was engaged on May 1, 1982,
subject to the functional and geographic restrictions in section
4(c)(8)(D) and the Board's Regulation Y. Accordingly, the Board does
not believe a hearing is appropriate or necessary with regard to this
claim.

1. Unless otherwise noted, rates of change are calculated from average
amounts outstanding in preceding month or quarter.
2. Figures incorporate adjustments for discontinuities associated with the
implementation of the Monetary Control Act and other regulatory changes to
reserve requirements. To adjust for discontinuities due to changes in reserve
requirements on reservable nondeposit liabilities, the sum of such required
reserves is subtracted from the actual series. Similarly, in adjusting for discontinuities in the monetary base, required clearing balances and adjustments to
compensate for float also are subtracted from the actual series.
3. The monetary base not adjusted for discontinuities consists of total
reserves plus required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for float
at Federal Reserve Banks plus the currency component of the money stock less
the amount of vault cash holdings of thrift institutions that is included in the
currency component of the money stock plus, for institutions not having required
reserve balances, the excess of current vault cash over the amount applied to
satisfy current reserve requirements. After the introduction of contemporaneous
reserve requirements (CRR), currency and vault cash figures are measured over
the weekly computation period ending Monday.
Before C R R , all components of the monetary base other than excess reserves
are seasonally adjusted as a whole, rather than by component, and excess
reserves are added on a not seasonally adjusted basis. After CRR, the seasonally
adjusted series consists of seasonally adjusted total reserves, which include
excess reserves on a not seasonally adjusted basis, plus the seasonally adjusted
currency component of the money stock plus the remaining items seasonally
adjusted as a whole.
4. Composition of the money stock measures and debt is as follows:
M l : (1) currency outside the Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults
of commercial banks; (2) travelers checks of nonbank issuers; (3) demand deposits
at all commercial banks other than those due to domestic banks, the U.S.
government, and foreign banks and official institutions less cash items in the
process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (4) other checkable deposits
(OCD) consisting of negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) and automatic transfer
service (ATS) accounts at depository institutions, credit union share draft
accounts, and demand deposits at thrift institutions. The currency and demand
deposit components exclude the estimated amount of vault cash and demand
deposits respectively held by thrift institutions to service their O C D liabilities.
M2: Ml plus overnight (and continuing contract) repurchase agreements (RPs)
issued by all commercial banks and overnight Eurodollars issued to U.S. residents
by foreign branches of U . S . banks worldwide, Money Market Deposit Accounts
(MMDAs), savings and small-denomination time deposits (time deposits—including retail RPs—in amounts of less than $100,000), and balances in both taxable and
tax-exempt general purpose and broker/dealer money market mutual funds.
Excludes individual retirement accounts (IRA) and Keogh balances at depository
institutions and money market f u n d s . Also excludes all balances held by U.S.

commercial banks, money market funds (general purpose and broker/dealer),
foreign governments and commercial banks, and the U.S. government. Also
subtracted is a consolidation adjustment that represents the estimated amount of
demand deposits and vault cash held by thrift institutions to service their time and
savings deposits.
M3: M2 plus large-denomination time deposits and term RP liabilities (in
amounts of $100,000 or more) issued by commercial banks and thrift institutions,
term Eurodollars held by U.S. residents at foreign branches of U.S. banks
worldwide and at all banking offices in the United Kingdom and Canada, and
balances in both taxable and tax-exempt, institution-only money market mutual
funds. Excludes amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government,
money market funds, and foreign banks and official institutions. Also subtracted is
a consolidation adjustment that represents the estimated amount of overnight RPs
and Eurodollars held by institution-only money market mutual f u n d s .
L: M3 plus the nonbank public holdings of U.S. savings bonds, short-term
Treasury securities, commercial paper and bankers acceptances, net of money
market mutual fund holdings of these assets.
Debt: Debt of domestic nonfinancial sectors consists of outstanding credit
market debt of the U.S. government, state and local governments, and private
nonfinancial sectors. Private debt consists of corporate bonds, mortgages, consumer credit (including bank loans), other bank loans, commercial paper, bankers
acceptances, and other debt instruments. The source of data on domestic
nonfinancial debt is the Federal Reserve B o a r d ' s flow of f u n d s accounts. Debt
data are based on monthly averages. G r o w t h rates for debt reflect adjustments for
discontinuities over time in the levels of debt presented in other tables.
5. Sum of overnight RPs and Eurodollars, money market fund balances
(general purpose and broker/dealer), M M D A s , and savings and small time
deposits less the estimated amount of demand deposits and vault cash held by
thrift institutions to service their time and savings deposit liabilities.
6. Sum of large time deposits, term RPs, and Eurodollars of U.S. residents,
money market fund balances (institution-only), less a consolidation adjustment
that represents the estimated amount of overnight RPs and Eurodollars held by
institution-only money market mutual f u n d s .
7. Excludes MMDAs.
8. Small-denomination time deposits—including retail RPs—are those issued
in amounts of less than $100,000. All IRA and Keogh accounts at commercial
banks and thrifts are subtracted from small time deposits.
9. Large-denomination time deposits are those issued in amounts of $100,000
or more, excluding those booked at international banking facilities.
10. Large-denomination time deposits at commercial banks less those held by
money market mutual funds, depository institutions, and foreign banks and
official institutions.
11. Changes calculated from figures shown in table 1.23.

to satisfy reserve r e q u i r e m e n t s . U n d e r c o n t e m p o r a n e o u s reserve requirements,

the balances are held.
3. Equal to all vault cash held during the lagged computation period by
institutions having required reserve balances at Federal Reserve Banks plus the
a m o u n t of vault cash equal to required reserves during the maintenance period at
institutions having no required reserve balances.
4. Total vault cash at institutions having no required reserve balances less the
amount of vault cash equal to their required reserves during the maintenance

5. Total r e s e r v e s not adjusted for discontinuities consist of reserve balances
with Federal R e s e r v e Banks, which exclude required clearing balances and
a d j u s t m e n t s to c o m p e n s a t e for float, plus vault cash used to satisfy reserve
r e q u i r e m e n t s . Such vault cash consists of all vault cash held during the lagged




computation period by institutions having required reserve balances at Federal
Reserve Banks plus the amount of vault cash equal to required r e s e r v e s during the
maintenance period at institutions having no required r e s e r v e balances.

7. Extended credit consists of borrowing at the discount window under the
terms and conditions established for the e x t e n d e d credit program to help
depository institutions deal with sustained liquidity p r e s s u r e s . B e c a u s e there is
not the same need to repay such borrowing promptly as there is with traditional
short-term a d j u s t m e n t credit, the money market impact of e x t e n d e d credit is
similar to that of n o n b o r r o w e d reserves.

1. Reserve requirements in effect on Dec. 31, 1986. Required reserves must be
held in the form of deposits with Federal Reserve Banks or vault cash.
N o n m e m b e r s may maintain reserve balances with a Federal Reserve Bank
indirectly on a pass-through basis with certain approved institutions. For previous
reserve requirements, see earlier editions of the Annual Report and of the
FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN. Under provisions of the Monetary Control Act.
depository institutions include commercial banks, mutual savings banks, savings
and loan associations, credit unions, agencies and branches of foreign banks, and
Edge corporations.
2. The Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 (Public Law
97-320) requires that $2 million of reservable liabilities (transaction accounts,
nonpersonal time deposits, and Eurocurrency liabilities) of each depository
institution be subject to a zero percent reserve requirement. The Board is to adjust
the amount of reservable liabilities subject to this zero percent reserve requirement each year for the succeeding calendar year by 80 percent of the percentage
increase in the total reservable liabilities of all depository institutions, measured
on an annual basis as of June 30. No corresponding adjustment is to be made in
the event of a decrease. On Dec. 30, 1986, the exemption was raised from $2.6
million to $2.9 million. In determining the reserve requirements of depository
institutions, the exemption shall apply in the following order: (1) net N O W
accounts (NOW accounts less allowable deductions); (2) net other transaction
accounts; and (3) nonpersonal time deposits or Eurocurrency liabilities starting




with those with the highest reserve ratio. With respect to N O W accounts and
other transaction accounts, the exemption applies only to such accounts that
would be subject to a 3 percent reserve requirement.
3. Transaction accounts include all deposits on which the account holder is
permitted to make withdrawals by negotiable or transferable instruments, payment orders of withdrawal, and telephone and preauthorized transfers in excess of
three per month for the purpose of making payments to third persons or others.
However, MMDAs and similar accounts subject to the rules that permit no more
than six preauthorized, automatic, or other transfers per month, of which no more
than three can be checks, are not transaction accounts (such accounts are savings
deposits subject to time deposit reserve requirements).
4. The Monetary Control Act of 1980 requires that the amount of transaction
accounts against which the 3 percent reserve requirement applies be modified
annually by 80 percent of the percentage increase in transaction accounts held by
all depository institutions, determined as of June 30 each year. Effective Dec. 30,
1986, the amount was increased from $31.7 million to $36.7 million.
5. In general, nonpersonal time deposits are time deposits, including savings
deposits, that are not transaction accounts and in which a beneficial interest is
held by a depositor that is not a natural person. Also included are certain
transferable time deposits held by natural persons and certain obligations issued
to depository institution offices located outside the United States. For details, see
section 204.2 of Regulation D.

Monetary base 4

1. Figures incorporate adjustments for discontinuities associated with the
implementation of the Monetary Control Act and other regulatory changes to
reserve requirements. To adjust for discontinuities due to changes in reserve
requirements on reservable nondeposit liabilities, the sum of such required
reserves is subtracted from the actual series. Similarly, in adjusting for discontinuities in the monetary base, required clearing balances and adjustments to
compensate for float also are subtracted f r o m the actual series.
2. Total reserves not adjusted for discontinuities consist of reserve balances
with Federal Reserve Banks, which exclude required clearing balances and
adjustments to compensate for float, plus vault cash used to satisfy reserve
requirements. Such vault cash consists of all vault cash held during the lagged
computation period by institutions having required reserve balances at Federal
Reserve Banks plus the amount of vault cash equal to required reserves during the
maintenance period at institutions having no required reserve balances.
3. Extended credit consists of borrowing at the discount window under the
terms and conditions established for the extended credit program to help
depository institutions deal with sustained liquidity pressures. Because there is
not the same need to repay such borrowing promptly as there is with traditional
short-term adjustment credit, the money market impact of extended credit is
similar to that of nonborrowed reserves.
4. The monetary base not adjusted for discontinuities consists of total reserves
plus required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for float at Federal
Reserve Banks and the currency component of the money stock less the amount

of vault cash holdings of thrift institutions that is included in the currency
component of the money stock plus, for institutions not having required reserve
balances, the excess of current vault cash over the amount applied to satisfy
current reserve requirements. After the introduction of contemporaneous reserve
requirements (CRR), currency and vault cash figures are measured over the
weekly computation period ending Monday.
Before CRR, all components of the monetary base other than excess reserves
are seasonally adjusted as a whole, rather than by component, and excess
reserves are added on a not seasonally adjusted basis. After CRR, the seasonally
adjusted series consists of seasonally adjusted total reserves, which include
excess reserves on a not seasonally adjusted basis, plus the seasonally adjusted
currency component of the money stock and the remaining items seasonally
adjusted as a whole.
5. Reflects actual reserve requirements, including those on nondeposit liabilities, with no adjustments to eliminate the effects of discontinuities associated
with implementation of the Monetary Control Act or other regulatory changes to
reserve requirements.
NOTE. Latest monthly and biweekly figures are available from the B o a r d ' s
H.3(502) statistical release. Historical data and estimates of the impact on
required reserves of changes in reserve requirements are available from the
Banking Section. Division of Research and Statistics, Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, Washington. D.C. 20551.

1. Composition of the money stock measures and debt is as follows:
M l : (1) currency outside the Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults
of commercial banks; (2) travelers checks of nonbank issuers: (3) demand deposits
at all commercial banks other than those due to domestic banks, the U.S.
government, and foreign banks and official institutions less cash items in the
process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (4) other checkable deposits
(OCD) consisting of negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) and automatic transfer
service (ATS) accounts at depository institutions, credit union share draft
accounts, and demand deposits at thrift institutions. The currency and demand
deposit components exclude the estimated amount of vault cash and demand
deposits respectively held by thrift institutions to service their OCD liabilities.
M2: Ml plus overnight (and continuing contract) repurchase agreements (RPs)
issued by all commercial banks and overnight Eurodollars issued to U.S. residents
by foreign branches of U.S. banks worldwide, M M D A s , savings and smalldenomination time deposits (time deposits—including retail RPs—in amounts of
less than $100,000), and balances in both taxable and tax-exempt general purpose
and broker-dealer money market mutual funds. Excludes individual retirement
accounts (IRA) and Keogh balances at depository institutions and money market
funds. Also excludes all balances held by U.S. commercial banks, money market
funds (general purpose and broker-dealer), foreign governments and commercial
banks, and the U.S. government. Also subtracted is a consolidation adjustment
that represents the estimated amount of demand deposits and vault cash held by
thrift institutions to service their time and savings deposits.
M3: M2 plus large-denomination time deposits and term RP liabilities (in
amounts of $100,000 or more) issued by commercial banks and thrift institutions,
term Eurodollars held by U.S. residents at foreign branches of U.S. banks
worldwide and at all banking offices in the United Kingdom and Canada, and
balances in both taxable and tax-exempt, institution-only money market mutual
funds. Excludes amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government,
money market funds, and foreign banks and official institutions. Also subtracted is
a consolidation adjustment that represents the estimated amount of overnight RPs
and Eurodollars held by institution-only money market mutual funds.
L: M3 plus the nonbank public holdings of U.S. savings bonds, short-term
Treasury securities, commercial paper and bankers acceptances, net of money
market mutual fund holdings of these assets.
Debt: Debt of domestic nonfinancial sectors consists of outstanding credit
market debt of the U.S. government, state and local governments, and private
nonfinancial sectors. Private debt consists of corporate bonds, mortgages, consumer credit (including bank loans), other bank loans, commercial paper, bankers
acceptances, and other debt instruments. The source of data on domestic
nonfinancial debt is the Federal Reserve Board's flow of funds accounts. Debt
data are based on monthly averages.




2. Currency outside the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and vaults of
commercial banks. Excludes the estimated amount of vault cash held by thrift
institutions to service their O C D liabilities.
3. Outstanding amount of U.S. dollar-denominated travelers checks of nonbank issuers. Travelers checks issued by depository institutions are included in
demand deposits.
4. Demand deposits at commercial banks and foreign-related institutions other
than those due to domestic banks, the U.S. government, and foreign banks and
official institutions less cash items in the process of collection and Federal
Reserve float. Excludes the estimated amount of demand deposits held at
commercial banks by thrift institutions to service their O C D liabilities.
5. Consists of N O W and ATS balances at all depository institutions, credit
union share draft balances, and demand deposits at thrift institutions. Other
checkable deposits seasonally adjusted equals the difference between the seasonally adjusted sum of demand deposits plus O C D and seasonally adjusted demand
deposits. Included are all ceiling free " S u p e r N O W s , " authorized by the
Depository Institutions Deregulation committee to be offered beginning Jan. 5,
1983.
6. Sum of overnight RPs and overnight Eurodollars, money market fund
balances (general purpose and broker-dealer), M M D A s , and savings and small
time deposits, less the consolidation adjustment that represents the estimated
amount of demand deposits and vault cash held by thrift institutions to service
their time and savings deposits liabilities.
7. Sum of large time deposits, term RPs and term Eurodollars of U.S.
residents, money market fund balances (institution-only), less a consolidation
adjustment that represents the estimated amount of overnight RPs and Eurodollars held by institution-only money market funds.
8. Savings deposits exclude MMDAs.
9. Small-denomination time deposits—including retail RPs— are those issued
in amounts of less than $100,000. All individual retirement accounts (IRA) and
Keogh accounts at commercial banks and thrifts are subtracted from small time
deposits.
10. Large-denomination time deposits are those issued in amounts of $100,000
or more, excluding those booked at international banking facilities.
11. Large-denomination time deposits at commercial banks less those held by
money market mutual funds, depository institutions, and foreign banks and
official institutions.
NOTE: Latest monthly and weekly figures are available from the Board's H.6
(508) release. Historical data are available f r o m the Banking Section, Division of

1. Figures include cash items in process of collection. Estimates of gross
deposits are based on reports supplied by a sample of commercial banks. Types of
depositors in each category are described in the June 1971 BULLETIN, p. 466.
Figures may not add to totals because of rounding.
2. Beginning in March 1984, these data reflect a change in the panel of weekly
reporting banks, and are not comparable to earlier data. Estimates in billions of
dollars for December 1983 based on the new weekly reporting panel are: financial
business, 24.4; nonfinancial business, 80.9; consumer, 30.1; foreign, 3.1; other.
9.5.
3. Beginning March 1985, financial business deposits and, by implication, total
gross demand deposits have been redefined to exclude demand deposits due to




1986

thrift institutions. Historical data have not been revised. The estimated volume of
such deposits for December 1984 is $5.0 billion at all insured commercial banks
and $3.0 billion at weekly reporting banks.
4. Historical data back to March 1985 have been revised to account for
corrections of bank reporting errors. Historical data before March 1985 have not
been revised, and may contain reporting errors. Data for all commercial banks for
March 1985 were revised as follows (in billions of dollars): all holders, - . 3 ;
financial business, - . 8 ; nonfinancial business, - . 4 ; consumer, .9; foreign, .1;
other, - . 1 . Data for weekly reporting banks for March 1985 were revised as
follows (in billions of dollars): all holders. - . 1 ; financial business. - . 7 ; nonfinancial business, - . 5 ; consumer, 1.1; foreign, .1; other, - . 2 .

1. Effective Dec. 1, 1982, there was a break in the commercial paper series. The
key changes in the content of the data involved additions to the reporting panel,
the exclusion of broker or dealer placed borrowings under any master note
agreements from the reported data, and the reclassification of a large portion of
bank-related paper from dealer-placed to directly placed.
2. Correction of a previous misclassification of paper by a reporter has created
a break in the series beginning December 1983. The correction adds some paper to
nonfinancial and to dealer-placed financial paper.
3. Institutions engaged primarily in activities such as, but not limited to.
commercial, savings, and mortgage banking; sales, personal, and mortgage
financing; factoring, finance leasing, and other business lending; insurance
underwriting: and other investment activities.

4. Includes all financial company paper sold by dealers in the open market.
5. As reported by financial companies that place their paper directly with
investors.
6. Includes public utilities and firms engaged primarily in such activities as
communications, construction, manufacturing, mining, wholesale and retail trade,
transportation, and services.
7. Beginning October 1984, the number of respondents in the bankers acceptance survey were reduced from 340 to 160 institutions—those with $50 million or
more in total acceptances. The new reporting group accounts for over 95 percent
of total acceptances activity.

1. Weekly and monthly figures are averages of all calendar days, where the
rate for a weekend or holiday is taken to be the rate prevailing on the preceding
business day. The daily rate is the average of the rates on a given day weighted by
the volume of transactions at these rates.
2. Weekly figures are averages for statement week ending Wednesday.
3. Rate for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
4. Unweighted average of offering rates quoted by at least five dealers (in the
case of commercial paper), or finance companies (in the case of finance paper).
Before November 1979, maturities for data shown are 30-59 days, 90-119 days,
and 120-179 days for commercial paper; and 30-59 days. 90-119 days, and 150179 days for finance paper.
5. Yields are quoted on a bank-discount basis, rather than an investment yield
basis (which would give a higher figure).
6. Dealer closing offered rates for top-rated banks. Most representative rate
(which may be, but need not be, the average of the rates quoted by the dealers).
7. Unweighted average of offered rates quoted by at least five dealers early in
the day.
8. Calendar week average. For indication purposes only.
9. Unweighted average of closing bid rates quoted by at least five dealers.
10. Rates are recorded in the week in which bills are issued. Beginning with the
Treasury bill auction held on Apr. 18, 1983, bidders were required to state the
percentage yield (on a bank discount basis) that they would accept to two decimal




places. Thus, average issuing rates in bill auctions will be reported using two
rather than three decimal places.
11. Yields are based on closing bid prices quoted by at least five dealers.
12. Yields adjusted to constant maturities by the U.S. Treasury. That is, yields
are read from a yield curve at fixed maturities. Based on only recently issued,
actively traded securities.
13. Averages (to maturity or call) for all outstanding bonds neither due nor
callable in less than 10 years, including one very low yielding " f l o w e r " bond.
14. General obligations based on Thursday figures; M o o d y ' s Investors Service.
15. General obligations only, with 20 years to maturity, issued by 20 state and
local governmental units of mixed quality. Based on figures for Thursday.
16. Daily figures from M o o d y ' s Investors Service. Based on yields to maturity
on selected long-term bonds.
17. Compilation of the Federal Reserve. This series is an estimate of the yield
on recently-offered, A-rated utility bonds with a 30-year maturity and 5 years of
call protection. Weekly data are based on Friday quotations.
18. Standard and Poor's corporate series. Preferred stock ratio based on a
sample o f t e n issues; four public utilities, four industrials, one financial, and one
transportation. Common stock ratios on the 500 stocks in the price index.
NOTE. These data also appear in the Board's H. 15 (519) and G. 13 (415) releases.

1. Data for dealer positions and sources of financing are obtained from reports
submitted to the Federal Reserve Bank of N e w York by the U.S. government
securities dealers on its published list of primary dealers.
Data for positions are averages of daily figures, in terms of par value, based on
the number of trading days in the period. Positions are net amounts and are shown
on a commitment basis. Data for financing are in terms of actual amounts
borrowed or lent and are based on Wednesday figures.
2. Immediate positions are net amounts (in terms of par values) of securities
owned by nonbank dealer firms and dealer departments of commercial banks on a
commitment, that is, trade-date basis, including any such securities that have
been sold under agreements to repurchase (RPs). The maturities of some
repurchase agreements are sufficiently long, however, to suggest that the securities involved are not available for trading purposes. Immediate positions include




reverses to maturity, which are securities that were sold after having been
obtained under reverse repurchase agreements that mature on the same day as the
securities. Data for immediate positions do not include forward positions.
3. Figures cover financing involving U.S. government and federal agency
securities, negotiable CDs, bankers acceptances, and commercial paper.
4. Includes all reverse repurchase agreements, including those that have been
arranged to make delivery on short sales and those for which the securities
obtained have been used as collateral on borrowings, that is, matched agreements.
5. Includes both repurchase agreements undertaken to finance positions and
" m a t c h e d b o o k " repurchase agreements.
NOTE. Data on positions for the period May 1 to Sept. 30, 1986, are partially
estimated.

8. Before late 1981, the Association obtained financing through the Federal
Financing Bank.
9. The FFB, which began operations in 1974, is authorized to purchase or sell
obligations issued, sold, or guaranteed by other federal agencies. Since F F B
incurs debt solely for the purpose of lending to other agencies, its debt is not
included in the main portion of the table in order to avoid double counting.
10. Includes FFB purchases of agency assets and guaranteed loans; the latter
contain loans guaranteed by numerous agencies with the guarantees of any
particular agency being generally small. The Farmers Home Administration item
consists exclusively of agency assets, while the Rural Electrification Administration entry contains both agency assets and guaranteed loans.

1. Persons 16 years of age and over. Monthly figures, which are based on
sample data, relate to the calendar week that contains the 12th day; annual data
are averages of monthly figures. By definition, seasonality does not exist in
population figures. Based on data from Employment and Earnings (U.S. Department of Labor).
2. Includes self-employed, unpaid family, and domestic service workers.




3. Data include all full- and part-time employees who worked during, or
received pay for, the pay period that includes the 12th day of the month, and
exclude proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic servants, unpaid family
workers, and members of the Armed Forces. Data are adjusted to the March 1987
benchmark and only seasonally adjusted data are available at this time. Based on
data from Employment and Earnings (U.S. Department of Labor).

1. Not at annual rates.
2. Not seasonally adjusted.
3. Value of new construction data in recent periods may not be strictly
comparable with data in prior periods because of changes by the Bureau of the
Census in its estimating techniques. For a description of these changes see
Construction Reports (C—30—76—5), issued by the Bureau in July 1976.




NOTE. Census Bureau estimates for all series except (a) mobile homes, which
are private, domestic shipments as reported by the Manufactured Housing
Institute and seasonally adjusted by the Census Bureau, and (b) sales and prices of
existing units, which are published by the National Association of Realtors. All
back and current figures are available from originating agency. Permit authorizations are those reported to the Census Bureau from 16,000 jurisdictions beginning
with 1978.

NOTE. The data through 1981 in this table are reported by the Bureau of Census
data of a free-alongside-ship (f.a.s.) value basis—that is. value at the port of
export. Beginning in 1981. foreign trade of the U.S. Virgin Islands is included in
the Census basis trade data; this adjustment has been made for all data shown in
the table. Beginning with 1982 data, the value of imports are on a customs
valuation basis.
The Census basis data differ from merchandise trade data shown in table 3.10.
U.S. International Transactions Summary, for reasons of coverage and timing. On
the export side, the largest adjustments are: (1) the addition of exports to Canada

not covered in Census statistics, and (2) the exclusion of military sales (which are
combined with other military transactions and reported separately in the " s e r v i c e
a c c o u n t " in table 3.10, line 6). On the import side, additions are made for gold,
ship purchases, imports of electricity from Canada, and other transactions:
military payments are excluded and shown separately as indicated above. As of
Jan. 1. 1987 census data are released 45 days after the end of the month.

1. Beginning with June 1984 data, reported claims held by foreign branches
have been reduced by an increase in the reporting threshold for "shell" branches
from $50 million to $150 million equivalent in total assets, the threshold now
applicable to all reporting branches.




2. Data for assets vis-a-vis other banks in the United States and vis-a-vis
nonbanks are combined for dates before June 1984.

1. The banking offices covered by these data are the U.S. offices and foreign
branches of U.S./-owned banks and of U.S. subsidiaries of foreign-owned banks.
Offices /w/covered include (1) U.S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, and
(2) foreign subsidiaries of U.S. banks. To minimize duplication, the data are
adjusted to exclude the claims on foreign branches held by a U.S. office or
another foreign branch of the same banking institution. The data in this table
combine foreign branch claims in table 3.14 (the sum of lines 7 through 10) with the
claims of U.S. offices in table 3.18 (excluding those held by agencies and branches
of foreign banks and those constituting claims on own foreign branches).
2. Beginning with June 1984 data, reported claims held by foreign branches
have been reduced by an increase in the reporting threshold kfor "shell" branches




25.7

from $50 million to $150 million equivalent in total assets, the threshold now
applicable to all reporting branches.
3. Besides the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries shown individually. this group includes other members of OPEC (Algeria. Gabon, Iran, Iraq,
Kuwait. Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirales) as well
as Bahrain and Oman (nor formally members of OPEC).
4. Excludes Liberia.
5. Includes Canal Zone beginning December 1979.
6. Foreign branch claims only.
7. Includes New Zealand, Liberia, and international and regional organizations.

1. Data are aggregates of categories reported on the quarterly form FF1EC 002,
"Report of Assets and Liabilities of U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign
Banks." Details may not add to totals because of rounding. This form was first
used for reporting data as of June 30, 1980, and was revised as of December 31,
1985. From November 1972 through May 1980, U.S. branches and agencies of
foreign banks had filed a monthly FR 886a report. Aggregate data from that report
were available through the Federal Reserve statistical release G. 11, last issued on
July 10, 1980. Data in this table and in the G. 11 tables are not strictly comparable
because of differences in reporting panels and in definitions of balance sheet
items.
2. Includes the District of Columbia.
3. Effective December 1981, the Federal Reserve Board amended Regulations
D and Q to permit banking offices located in the United States to operate
International Banking Facilities (IBFs). As of December 31, 1985, data for IBFs
are reported in a separate column. These data are either included in or excluded
from the total columns as indicated in the headings. The notation " n . a . " indicates

that no IBF data are reported for that item, either because the item is not an
eligible IBF asset or liability or because that level of detail is not reported for
IBFs. From December 1981 through September 1985, IBF data were included in
all applicable items reported.
4. Total assets and total liabilities include net balances, if any, due from or due
to related banking institutions in the United States and in foreign countries (see
footnote 5). On the former monthly branch and agency report, available through
the G . l l statistical release, gross balances were included in total assets and total
liabilities. Therefore, total asset and total liability figures in this table are not
comparable to those in the G . l l tables.
5. "Related banking institutions" includes the foreign head office and other
U.S. and foreign branches and agencies of the bank, the bank's parent holding
company, and majority-owned banking subsidiaries of the bank and of its parent
holding company (including subsidiaries owned both directly and indirectly).
6. In some cases two or more offices of a foreign bank within the same
metropolitan area file a consolidated report.

FEDERAL

RESERVE

REGULATORY

SERVICE

To promote public understanding of its regulatory
functions, the Board publishes the Federal Reserve
Regulatory Service, a three-volume looseleaf service
containing all Board regulations and related statutes,
interpretations, policy statements, rulings, and staff
opinions. For those with a more specialized interest in
the Board's regulations, parts of this service are
published separately as handbooks pertaining to monetary policy, securities credit, and consumer affairs.
These publications are designed to help those who
must frequently refer to the Board's regulatory materials. They are updated at least monthly, and each
contains conversion tables, citation indexes, and a
subject index.
The Monetary Policy and Reserve
Requirements
Handbook contains Regulations A, D, and Q plus
related materials. For convenient reference, it also
contains the rules of the Depository Institutions
Deregulation Committee.




The Securities Credit Transactions Handbook contains Regulations G, T, U, and X, dealing with extensions of credit for the purchase of securities, together
with all related statutes, Board interpretations, rulings, and staff opinions. Also included is the Board's
list of OTC margin stocks.
The Consumer and Community Affairs Handbook
contains Regulations B, C, E, M, Z, AA, and BB and
associated materials.
For domestic subscribers, the annual rate is $200 for
the Federal Reserve Regulatory Service and $75 for
each handbook. For subscribers outside the United
States, the price including additional air mail costs is
$250 for the Service and $90 for each Handbook. All
subscription requests must be accompanied by a check
or money order payable to Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. Orders should be addressed
to Publications Services, Mail Stop 138, Federal Reserve Board, 20th Street and Constitution Avenue,
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20551.

FEDERAL

RESERVE

CONSUMER

CREDIT

PUBLICATIONS

The Federal Reserve Board publishes a series of
pamphlets covering individual credit laws and topics,
as pictured below. The series includes such subjects as
how the Equal Credit Opportunity Act protects women against discrimination in their credit dealings, how
to use a credit card, and how to use Truth in Lending
information to compare credit costs.




What
Thithln
Lending
Means
To You

The Board also publishes the Consumer Handbook
to Credit Protection Laws, a complete guide to consumer credit protections. This 44-page booklet explains how to use the credit laws to shop for credit,
apply for it, keep up credit ratings, and complain about
an unfair deal.
Copies of consumer publications are available free
of charge from Publications Services, Mail Stop 138,
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
Washington, D.C. 20551. Multiple copies for classroom use are also available free of charge.
