Housing and Mortgage Markets:
The Post-1982 Expansion
Stuart A. Gabriel, of the Board's Division of
Research and Statistics, wrote this article. Mark
T. Cammarota and James P. Rothberg provided
research assistance.
Housing construction rebounded strongly in the
years following the 1980-82 recession. A confluence of positive movements in a wide range of
economic and demographic factors fueled the
boom in construction. Interest rates on conventional fixed-rate mortgages declined from their
1981 high of more than 18 percent to a nine-year
low of about half that amount in early 1987.
Lower mortgage rates and higher household income made housing more affordable, releasing
demand pent up from previous years. Changes in
tax laws, enacted in 1981, also stimulated the
construction of housing, particularly of rental
units. A rise in household formations similarly
boosted construction activity. Early years of the
recovery were further marked by the robust
economic expansion and increases in construction in growing Sunbelt areas.
Moreover, new financial instruments for
homebuyers and investors aided the surge in
housing activity. New lending instruments in the
primary
market—especially
adjustable-rate
mortgages (ARMs), which were offered at initial
interest rates well below those of their fixed-rate
counterparts—helped make housing more affordable. Also, lenders in the primary market, including thrift institutions, increasingly sold new
mortgages in the secondary market; the "securitization" of many of these loans in the form of
both standard pass-throughs and new derivative
securities has accelerated in recent years. By
broadening the base of mortgage finance, securitization helped reduce housing's vulnerability to
nonprice credit rationing.
Under the influence of these developments,
the pace of housing starts quickened from 1.1



million units per year in the 1981-82 period to
almost 1.75 million units during 1983-86 (chart
1). The average annual rate of new-home sales
during 1983-86 jumped 60 percent from the relatively low 1981-82 rate; resales of existing
homes advanced by about 40 percent. By mid1987, however, some determinants of housing
construction, especially fixed-rate mortgage interest rates, took a turn for the worse, causing
perceptible contraction in housing activity and
raising concern about prospects for the housing
market.

HOUSING

AFFORDABILITY

The cost of homeownership strongly influences
the demand for housing. Indexes of housing
affordability measure costs of homeownership as
a percentage of average household disposable
income. One index uses mortgage payments on a
standard-quality new home as a proxy for costs;
the loan amount is 80 percent of the home's
value. Another, more comprehensive index adds
operating and transactions expenses, tax effects,
and expected appreciation to its measure of
homeownership costs.
By early 1987, mortgage interest rates had
declined precipitously (chart 2), house prices had

risen only moderately, and household income
had strengthened from levels of the 1980-82
recession. As a result, mortgage costs for a
standard-quality new home, which had reached
as high as 45 percent of mean household disposable income during the early 1980s, fell off
sharply, to about 20 percent of household income
in early 1987 (chart 3). The post-recession resurgence in housing demand was due largely to
sharp improvements in this measure of housing
affordability. Although the mortgage burden rose
markedly in mid-1987 because of runups in mortgage interest rates, it remained moderate relative
to its levels of the previous 10 years.
The trend of the more comprehensive index of
housing affordability during the post-1983 period
was similar to that of the mortgage-servicing
index. However, the comprehensive index remained higher than the mortgage-servicing index
during the post-recession period and high relative
to the late 1970s, largely because of reduced
price appreciation and higher real interest rates.
Lower expected appreciation in home prices
reduces housing affordability as measured by the
comprehensive index. In the calculation of the

disposable income.




comprehensive index, expected capital gains are
represented by changes in the price of the average quality-adjusted home. In one version of the
index, the price changes cover the preceding
three years; in another, the preceding five years.
Expectations about longer-term appreciation are
relevant to homebuyers, who typically expect to
stay for several years. If price expectations are
based on experience, homeownership may have
been perceived to be substantially more affordable during the late 1970s and early 1980s than
the mortgage-servicing burden suggested. Likewise, moderated gains in housing prices during
the later 1980s relative to the earlier period
tended to keep the comprehensive measure high,
while the mortgage-servicing burden showed a
marked drop.
Many series on housing prices are available for
use in constructing indexes of housing affordability. The Census Bureau publishes a qualityadjusted series of new home prices, which was
used in the above analysis. The quality-adjusted
price series measures variations in the price of
new homes, taking account of basic features
(floor area, number of bathrooms, presence of air
conditioning, and so on). The regional distribution of home sales used in calculating the qualityadjusted index is that of the base year, 1982.
Inflation of housing prices as measured by the
adjusted series has diverged sharply from that in
the unadjusted series in recent years; average
prices of new homes have been rising much more
quickly than the prices of constant-quality
homes. This divergence stems in part from improvements in the size and attributes of new
homes relative to their 1982 counterparts. The
average living area of new homes increased 12
percent, to 1,864 square feet, between 1982 and
mid-1987; lot size rose from 11,554 to 13,061
square feet. Furthermore, new homes sold in
mid-1987 were significantly more likely to include such amenities as a fireplace, basement,
garage, and more than two bathrooms. Such
improvements are to be expected given the increases in household income and wealth since
the relatively depressed base year; they also
reflect the greater proportion of older, more
affluent repeat buyers among those purchasing
new homes. According to surveys by the Na-

The homeownership rate among American
families rose steadily in the decades after
World War II. By the 1970s, more than 6 of
every 10 families owned a home. During the
1980s, however, the homeownership rate contracted by about 2 percentage points (see chart).

As indicated in the accompanying table,
ownership rates rise appreciably with age. Advancing age is often accompanied by growth in
income, at least through middle age, sufficient
to make a home more affordable; established,
older households move less often than younger
families and are therefore also more likely to
buy a home.
Homeownership rates in the 1980s declined
primarily among households headed by

tional Association of Home Builders, the proportion of first-time homebuyers among all newhome buyers declined from about 40 percent in
1984 to about 36 percent in the first quarter of
1987. In addition, the substantial increase in the
share of homes built in high-priced metropolitan
areas and in California has boosted the pace of
housing price inflation as measured by the unadjusted series of new-home prices. This divergence arises because the quality-adjusted index
of new-home prices weights the weak rates of
price inflation in "oil-patch" states more
strongly than the unadjusted series does and
weights the housing price advances in California
and elsewhere more weakly.

someone under age 40—a falloff of about 5
percentage points between 1981 and 1987. In
that period, the cost of owning—as measured
by the indexes discussed in the text—rose
significantly relative to the residential rent
component of the consumer price index, especially during the cyclical downturn of the early
1980s. Younger people as a group are the most
sensitive to the relative costs of owning and
renting; older households typically have already purchased homes and do not respond to
the higher costs of owning—as measured by
the indexes discussed in the text—by changing
to renter status. A report from the Joint Center
for Housing Studies estimates that about
800,000 prospective first-time homebuyers delayed the purchase of a home during 1979-83
because of the relatively high costs of owneroccupancy.

Changes in unadjusted values of new or existing homes imply levels of housing affordability
lower than do changes in the quality-adjusted
series; however, most indexes point to improved
affordability from 1983 through early 1987,
largely because of the downtrend in interest
rates. Although declines in the mortgageservicing burden figured heavily in the postrecession resurgence in housing demand, those
effects were partially offset by the relatively high
levels of comprehensive homeownership costs.
Housing affordability on all indexes deteriorated
in the wake of the interest rate increases of
mid-1987, causing housing activity to fall somewhat.

896

TAX

Federal Reserve Bulletin • December 1987

CHANGES

The 1981 Economic Recovery Tax Act (ERTA),
which dramatically altered many features of the
federal tax system, stimulated housing construction. The act made major changes in the treatment of rental housing: it reduced the taxation of
capital gains, accelerated depreciation writeoffs,
and provided incentives for the expanded use of
real estate tax shelters that allow individuals to
shelter earned income with "passive" real estate
losses. These changes substantially increased
investor returns on rental housing. In the wake of
those tax provisions and the other positive developments for housing already recited, the pace
of multifamily housing starts rose by about twothirds, from 378,000 units in 1981 to 635,000 units
in 1983. Within that sector, the biggest increase
was in the construction of rental units rather than
of condominiums.
Other effects of the tax bill, especially the
rapid expansion in real estate limited partnerships, also may have indirectly contributed to the
acceleration of multifamily housing construction.
Large public syndications—those with 30 or
more limited partners—became much more popular after the passage of ERTA. During 1984-85,
equity funds raised through public and private
syndications reached about $20 billion. Combined with mortgage borrowing, this sum would
have financed almost all the considerable rental
housing construction of that period. However,
much of the partnership money either funded
nonresidential construction or was invested in
existing residential structures. Tax-driven syndications may have stimulated new construction
indirectly by bidding up the prices of existing
structures and improving the profitability of new
multifamily projects.
Tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, issued
by state and local governments, also contributed
to the surge in multifamily housing construction
during the post-recession period. A 1980 amendment to the Internal Revenue Code directed the
use of this instrument for providing housing to
lower- and middle-income individuals. The annual issuance of such bonds, only $1 billion in
1980-81, subsequently rose to $5 billion in 1982
and skyrocketed to $20 billion in 1985. The
General Accounting Office (GAO) estimated that




approximately 200,000 new housing units were
constructed with the proceeds of tax-exempt
mortgage revenue bonds issued in 1983 and 1984,
about one-quarter of all multifamily rental construction during that period.
Although a vast number of multifamily units
were built with tax-exempt financing, a large
portion of the construction might have been
financed conventionally if the tax-exempt instruments had not been available. N o direct evidence
is available on this important point; however,
studies of earlier federally sponsored housing
subsidy programs suggest that a sizable fraction
of all projects financed with tax-exempt bonds
would have started within a year or so even if
conventional financing had been required. GAO
analyses of metropolitan rental markets with
substantial tax-exempt construction suggested
that a similar number of apartments would have
been built in the absence of below-market financing; according to the GAO, demand-side
pressures and resultant rates of return in those
areas likely would have prompted large increases
in conventionally financed construction.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 likely has strong
implications for residential construction. The
major real estate features of the Tax Reform Act
reversed the provisions in ERTA regarding multifamily construction; it raised the tax on capital
gains, and it restricted individual sheltering of
earned and "portfolio" income with losses arising from passive investments. The 1986 act further diminished depreciation writeoffs, which
had already been scaled back by legislation
passed in 1982 and 1984.
The reduction in investor tax benefits from the
1986 act, combined with the relatively low level
of rents in many local markets, reduces the rate
of return on investment in rental housing below
that considered adequate for new construction.
The tax reform provisions therefore imply some
reduction in the pace of multifamily construction. Such a decline would be expected, in time,
to boost rents sufficiently to offset the loss of tax
benefits. The controversy that surrounds the tax
status of the marginal rental housing investor
makes uncertain the rent increase necessary to
reallocate resources into rental housing, but most
studies suggest the increase is likely to be substantial.

Housing and Mortgage Markets: The Post-1982 Expansion

HOUSING

DEMOGRAPHICS

A recovery in the rate of household formations
has supported the post-1982 housing expansion.
The number of new households plunged to a
30-year low of 400,000 in the year ended in
March 1983; but formations rebounded to reach
an average annual rate of more than 1.5 million
during the ensuing three years, a pace close to
the annual readings of 1975-79. The rate of
household formations fell to 1 million during the
year ended in March 1987, with the drop concentrated among households whose head is under
the age of 25. The coming of age of the "baby
bust" generation suggests that net household
formations likely will remain below 1.5 million
units per year, on average, through the remainder of the decade. This factor should significantly
restrain housing demand because, historically, a
large majority of newly constructed housing units
have been built to accommodate, directly or
indirectly, additional households.
Total household formations reflect age-specific
living arrangements plus marriage and divorce
rates, all of which vary with economic conditions
and social change. The post-1983 rise in household formations undoubtedly was associated
with the improvement in employment opportunities as well as with the greater affordability of
homes.
A 9 percent decline between 1980 and 1987 in
the number of young adults (ages 14 to 24) served
to damp the pace of household growth. Furthermore, despite some recent increase, the current
proportion of young adults who are household
heads—13.8 percent in 1987—remains somewhat
below its 1980 value. The propensity of young
adults to cluster in households of unrelated individuals did not increase sufficiently to account
for this decline in their headship rate. Instead,
the decline stemmed from a significant rise in the
tendency of young adults to remain in the parental home. The percentage of individuals 18-24
years old living with their parents increased to
almost 54 percent in 1987 from about 48 percent
in 1980.
Analysts point to a number of economic and
social factors to explain this contraction in
young-adult households. According to the report
of consumer income by the Census Bureau, the




897

population aged 15 to 24 was the only age group
whose real median household income declined
between 1980 and 1986, from $16,900 to $15,300,
or 9.5 percent. Further, the increase in the inclination of young adults to remain at home may
result from changing social attitudes as well as an
easing of the "sibling squeeze"—the presence of
fewer younger siblings in the parental home,
which reduces the pressure to move away. Availability of space in the parental home perhaps
interacted with economic constraints in slowing
household formation by young adults.
In contrast, the growth of households has been
relatively robust among "baby boom" age
groups; between 1980 and 1987 the number of
new households increased 11 percent in the
25-34 age group and 34 percent in the 35-44 age
group. The headship rate among the baby boomers in this period remained stable or declined; the
growth in households, many of them nonfamily
households, derived entirely from the growth in
the population of these groups.
For the remainder of the decade, the number
of households in the 15-24 age group is expected
to decline further, while household formations
among those aged 25-54 should be maintained
through continued growth in their population.

REGIONAL
HOUSING

ECONOMIC GROWTH
CONSTRUCTION

AND

The early years of the post-1982 housing expansion reflected a strong cyclical recovery in the
South and West, coupled with a moderate trending up in the pace of construction in the other
regions. Since 1985, however, housing demand
has weakened in oil-patch states, while the housing markets in many metropolitan areas of the
Northeast have been booming. This shifting of
economic growth to higher-cost areas should
work to slow the aggregate pace of housing
construction.
The high level of production achieved in 1983
has generally been sustained in the West but not
in the oil-patch markets of the South (chart 4).
Although the South's share of total construction
activity continues to exceed that of other regions, it has declined from 50 percent in 1982-83
to about 39 percent in mid-1987. In contrast, the

1987

Northeast's share in that period has risen from 11
percent to 17 percent.
During the first half of the 1980s, many households migrated from the Northeast and North
Central regions to the South and West, as they
had since the 1970s, thereby giving a strong push
to housing demand in the Sunbelt. Those households were drawn by, and contributed to, the
expanding Sunbelt economy: growth in nonagricultural employment in major census divisions of
the South and West far exceeded that of their
counterparts in the Northeast and North Central
regions (table 1). Expanding areas of the Sunbelt
typically lacked the housing demanded by the
growing population but had abundant and relatively inexpensive land, whose development was
limited by few regulatory constraints.
Economic growth has slowed in some Sunbelt
markets. The surge in multifamily construction
earlier in the decade, together with weak demand
for multifamily units, has produced record-high
rates of rental vacancy in the South, rates far
higher than those in other regions. Weakness in
the oil-patch economy dragged down nationwide

new-home sales during mid-1986. One-third of
the national rise in existing home sales in the
third quarter of 1986 derived from the wave of
distress sales and emigration that swept over
Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas.
In contrast, housing demand and construction
have remained strong in the Northeast, where
economic restructuring and diversification have
substantially improved employment and income.
By mid-decade, New England had become the
most affluent of the Census divisions, with per
capita personal income in 1986 at 117 percent of
the national average. The vacancy rate for rental
housing in the Northeast has remained low, at 4
percent (chart 5); and prices of existing homes
have risen by two to three times the national
average during the recent period. Housing starts
in the Northeast rose 20 percent in 1984 and
again in 1985, while starts in the rest of the
country remained virtually unchanged.
Housing affordability as measured by the mortgage-servicing and comprehensive indexes exhibits regional variation consistent with underlying regional economic trends. Affordability
according to the mortgage-servicing measure
rose in all areas during the mid-1980s and fell
somewhat in all areas during the 1987 runup in
mortgage interest rates. Housing prices in the
Northeast have escalated sharply in recent years
under the twin pressures of rising demand and
constraints on supply. Local land-use ordinances
restrict development in many metropolitan areas
of the Northeast and West; research suggests
such policies may add appreciably to the price of
a standard dwelling. The recently heightened
inflation of home prices in the Northeast improves affordability under the comprehensive
index because of higher expected capital gains;
but it worsens affordability under the mortgage-

mortgage-servicing costs. Typical Northeast
households that purchased homes in late 1987
allocated more than one-third of monthly income
to mortgage expenses on a standard-quality new
home; housing affordability according to the

that of other regions.

IN MORTGAGE

MARKETS

The rate of growth of mortgage debt on residential properties rose strongly following the
1980-82 slump, moving from 4.8 percent in 1982
to 14 percent in 1986, a rate among the most rapid
of the past three decades.
While the post-recession expansion in housing
activity stimulated the demand for mortgage
credit, other factors helped to enhance the availability of mortgage funds to homebuyers. The
secondary mortgage market continued to develop, introducing a variety of innovations in
mortgage securitization. Also, the proliferation
of adjustable-rate mortgages allowed homebuyers greater access to credit. Mortgages with
periodic rate adjustments were not widely available before the 1980s; in the wake of the runup in
mortgage interest rates during the early eighties,
ARMs became an important choice on mortgage
menus nationwide.
ARMs
Adjustable-rate home mortgages grew from only
a small share of originations before the cyclical
downturn to almost two-thirds of all conventional purchase loans closed in mid-1984 (chart
6). The share trended down during subsequent
years to reach about one-fifth of the total in early
1987, but then expanded in subsequent months,
supporting housing demand despite the increased
costs of fixed-rate mortgage credit.
Both the level of fixed-rate mortgage interest
rates and the interest rate differential between
fixed- and adjustable-rate credit appear to be
important factors affecting the market share of
ARMs. The spread between the rate on fixed-rate
financing and the initial rate offered with ARMs
has varied widely since late 1985 (chart 6). The

sharp runup in the costs of fixed-rate mortgage
credit in 1987 doubled the spread to a record 300
basis points and resulted in a substantial increase
in ARM market share.
Adjustable-rate mortgages have proven attractive to both borrowers and lenders. The lower
initial interest rate on ARMs (chart 6) enables
more buyers to qualify for purchase of a particular home, hence increasing the effective demand
for housing. Because most borrowers are qualified on the basis of initial monthly payments,
ARMs likely support housing demand during
periods of high or rising rates on fixed-rate mortgages. Homebuyers expecting some decline in
rates also are attracted to ARMs, which pass
declines to borrowers without costly refinancing.
Further, ARMs likely are attractive to homebuyers with short expected durations of residence, given the low initial ARM interest rate
relative to fixed-rate loans. Lenders, especially
thrift institutions, favor ARMs as a means of
increasing their holdings of rate-sensitive instruments.
ARM features have become increasingly standardized. The dominant form to have emerged

sets indexation to the rate on one-year Treasury
bills, limits interest rate adjustments to 2 percentage points annually and 5 to 6 percentage points
over the life of the mortgage, and precludes
negative amortization (that is, an increase in the
outstanding principal on the loan). Standardization of both ARM design and underwriting criteria has improved the liquidity of ARMs.
Expansion

of the Secondary

Market

Developments in the secondary mortgage market
have broadened the supply of mortgage credit to
homebuyers while linking the mortgage market
more closely to capital markets. Since 1982, 60
percent of the growth of home mortgage debt has
been in the form of pass-through securities,
which represent undivided ownership interests in
a pool of mortgages (table 2). The trend toward
securitization has become especially pronounced
in recent years: since the beginning of 1986,
four-fifths of the growth in home mortgage debt
outstanding has been in the form of pass-through
securities (chart 7).

Investors value these securities in part because
the return of principal and interest on the collateral is usually guaranteed by a federal agency,
the Government National Mortgage Association,
or a federally chartered private entity, either the
Federal National Mortgage Association or the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. Potential investors who otherwise would be forced
to evaluate separately the quality of individual
mortgage loans can buy standardized securities
with little if any risk of default and with a
diversified risk of prepayment. As a result, the
expanded issuance of pass-through securities has
attracted a variety of nontraditional investors to
the mortgage market and facilitated the provision
of credit to the housing sector.
In addition to broadening the investor base,
the maturation of the secondary market has
reduced the risk to mortgage originators by providing a reliable market for their product. At a
certain cost, lenders can negotiate forward commitments to sell their loans, thereby shifting to
secondary market dealers the risk that an upturn
in interest rates will reduce the value of mortgages during the interval between lock-in of the
borrower's rate and loan delivery.
During the 1970s, the leading traditional portfolio lenders—thrift institutions—made little use
of the secondary market; they largely originated
and retained fixed-rate loans, which were funded
out of short-term retail deposits. Early in this
decade, however, higher interest rates raised the
cost of loanable funds above the return on holdings of long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans. In
the wake of those changing financial conditions,
thrift institutions suffered large losses, prompting
them to increase the rate sensitivity of their
portfolios. After legislative and regulatory
changes, thrift institutions increasingly marketed
adjustable-rate mortgages. Further, they turned
to the secondary market, selling off seasoned
fixed-rate loans so as to shorten the maturities of
their assets. Thrift institutions also securitized
their holdings of fixed-rate mortgages through
swap transactions with FHLMC and FNMA.
Mortgage-backed securities provide thrift institutions with relatively liquid holdings that may be
used as collateral for borrowing. Borrowers increasingly sought fixed-rate loans as rates
trended down during 1985 and 1986; in contrast

to earlier years, and largely because of the prevalence of fixed-rate lending, thrift institutions
during this period sold most of their mortgage
originations in the secondary market (chart 8).
The increase in the tendency of thrift institutions to emphasize mortgage banking functions—
originating loans and selling them into the secondary market—reduced the risk these institutions faced earlier when holding fixed-rate mortgages; but this change in behavior also worked to
diminish the insulation of primary market rates
from fluctuations in the overall capital market.
Indeed, statistical tests indicate that in recent
years conventional fixed-rate mortgage rates
have responded more fully and more quickly to
movements in the yield on Treasury securities of
comparable maturity. During the mid- to late
1970s, only 20 percent of a change in 10-year
Treasury yields was mirrored in mortgage rate
movements within a week (chart 9). Short-term
responsiveness increased nearly threefold by
1986-87, when nearly 80 percent of any change

Mortgage

Securities

Another development in the secondary mortgage
market has been the introduction of a new breed
of instruments, collectively known as derivative
mortgage securities. These securities restructure
the cash flow from the underlying pool of mortgages and are typically backed by pass-through
securities guaranteed by a federally related institution. Derivative mortgage securities are designed to exploit the varying risk-return requirements of market participants and in certain cases
reduce the exposure of some investors to mortgage prepayment. The issuance of derivative
securities has grown rapidly in recent years—the
volume for the first nine months of 1987 was $62
billion—but remains substantially less than that
of traditional mortgage pass-through securities.
Opinion remains divided on the effects of derivative securities on primary market rates. Their
issuance may improve the marketability of mortgages in the secondary market, thereby broadening the base of investors and possibly exerting
some downward pressure on mortgage rates; but
otherwise they lack substantive benefits to mortgage borrowers. Alternatively, finely tailored derivative securities may provide arbitrage profits
to a small number of issuers.
Recent innovations in mortgage securities include the multiclass pay-through bond, known as
the collateralized mortgage obligation or CMO.
The multiclass nature of the CMO means that
schedules for the repayment of principal vary for
each class of bond, so that anticipated maturities
differ. CMOs may attract investors who limit
their purchases to certain maturities and who
thus otherwise might ignore mortgage investments. Particular CMO classes attempt to minimize the variability of cash flows associated with
prepayment options. This lessened investment
risk could translate into lower rates in the primary market, but the statistical analyses undertaken to date typically fail to show such an effect.
Other innovations in mortgage-backed securities include so-called stripped securities, or
"strips," and senior/subordinated securities.
Strips allow the issuer to allocate principal and

902

Federal Reserve Bulletin • December 1987

interest payments from the underlying mortgage
pool separately or in any combination. Investors
can then purchase that part of the mortgage cash
flow they most desire. Strips vary considerably
in their composition and performance. This instrument, introduced in 1986, may further
broaden the attractiveness of derivative mortgage securities to a range of potential investors;
however, the relatively small magnitude of issuance to date suggests this innovation has yet to
affect rates in the primary market. Senior/subordinated securities are structured to represent
senior and subordinated interests in the underlying mortgage assets; risk and hence yield on the
subordinated interest will exceed that of the
senior interest, thereby promoting development
of a high-yield component in the mortgage securities market.
Derivative securities should become more
popular because of the 1986 Tax Reform Act. In
an effort to establish greater uniformity and certainty in the taxation and trading of mortgagebacked securities, the tax act authorized a new
vehicle for issuing those securities, known as
the real estate mortgage investment conduit
(REMIC). A REMIC is a tax-advantaged entity
that holds mortgage assets and issues multiclass mortgage-backed securities. The sponsor of
a REMIC has almost unlimited flexibility in
structuring its legal and financial form. This
flexibility will likely result in wider range and
larger volume of mortgage securities and may
further broaden the investor base of the housing
finance system.

OUTLOOK

Housing activity has diminished since early this
year, in part because of the runup in mortgage
interest rates. Rates on conventional fixed-rate
mortgage loans, at a low of about 9 percent early
in the year, rose to well above 11 percent by
September. Total housing starts declined sharply
during this period; for 1987, the annual pace of
housing construction will fall substantially below
the robust average of 1.75 million units during the
1983-86 period.
Uncertainty about several variables cloud the
outlook for housing affordability. The reduction




in marginal income tax rates resulting from the
1986 tax law lowers the value of the deduction for
homeowner mortgage interest and hence reduces
housing affordability. However, the reduction in
marginal tax rates also tends to boost household
disposable income, some of which may be spent
on housing. Further, some increase in the demand for real estate stemming from elimination
of other tax shelters suggests improved capital
gains in housing, which should favorably affect
the comprehensive measure of homeownership
costs. The net result of these direct and indirect
effects remains to be seen.
The continuing decline in formations of youngadult households suggests weakness in the demand for rental apartments. Middle-aged and
more-affluent baby boomers should swell the
number of buyers who are trading up to better
new and existing single-family homes; nonfamily
households in this age group will also likely have
earnings appropriate for the purchase of such
units. Rates of homeownership among babyboom households should rise and yield a moderate improvement in the overall homeownership
index.
In the market for multifamily housing, construction has weakened considerably since the
spring of 1986, when the anticipated tax law
became binding for newly started projects. By
mid-1987, multifamily starts had fallen to about
two-thirds of their average post-recession pace.
Tax reform was not the only factor impinging on
construction in this market, however; recordhigh rates of vacancy in selected local markets
also lowered the improvement rate of return on
investment in multifamily units. Except for some
improvement in those few metropolitan areas
with tight housing markets, the pace of starts for
multifamily rental units may remain low for some
time to come.
Shifts in the location of construction activity to
less supply-elastic and more costly markets
should also affect the level of aggregate housing
construction. Other things equal, those influences suggest that housing will remain relatively
expensive on a mortgage-burden basis in the
Northeast and West; in turn, the national pace of
construction will likely be damped.
Turning to mortgage markets, substantial
amounts of mortgage capital have been raised

Housing and Mortgage Markets: The Post-1982 Expansion

from individuals and institutions that do not
originate mortgage loans but instead are attracted
by the yield, liquidity, and diversification of
mortgage securities. Recent innovations in derivative securities indicate that the variety of such
instruments will increase to meet the demands of
different investors; those developments suggest
increased efficiency and competitiveness in secondary market operations. This further integration of mortgage and capital markets points to the




903

continued availability of funds for home mortgages but allows fluctuations in capital costs to
be passed along more quickly to the interestsensitive housing sector.
Finally, adjustable-rate mortgages, with their
lower initial rates, should continue to be attractive to both borrowers and lenders and to provide
support for housing activity during periods of
high or increasing interest rates.

However, overall motor vehicle production was

Revision

of the

Indexes

As part of the Federal Reserve's ongoing review
of its statistical series, the indexes of industrial
production have been revised, beginning with
January 1985.
Revision of the Indexes for 1985 and 1986. The
revision of the indexes for 1985 and 1986 affects
the series primarily through the incorporation of
information now available at the time the indexes
were originally estimated. In the present revision, unlike the 1985 general revision, no major
modifications were introduced; in particular, the
reference year, the weights, and the groupings of
the index have remained unchanged. The present
revision, in addition to the incorporation of data
previously not available, reflects the updating of
the seasonal adjustment factors for the entire
index (including its groupings and the basic
series); these are now calculated with the use of

906

Federal Reserve Bulletin • December 1987

data through December 1986. The production
adjustment factors applied to the indexes were
updated as well.
The revised data indicate that the growth in the
total index of industrial production is essentially
the same as previously estimated: a rise of 1.9
percent in 1985 (instead of 2.0 percent), and an
increase of 1.1 percent during 1986 (instead of 1.0
percent). The level of the total index in December 1986 was revised upward slightly. However,
indexes for several industry and market groups
showed significant, but offsetting, revisions.
Over the 1985 and 1986 periods, the most notable
upward revisions in the market categories occurred in equipment and construction supplies.
The largest downward revisions were in home
goods and textile materials. Among the major




industry groups, less growth in nondurable manufacturing was countered by an increase in durables.

Revision of 1987 Indexes. The revisions of the
data between January and August 1987 reflect in
part the revisions undertaken for 1985 and 1986
as well as the receipt of new information for
1987. Like the revisions for 1985 and 1986, the
revisions for the first eight months of 1987 indicate, on balance, about the same rate of growth
in industrial activity as estimated previously. The
overall level of industrial output for August
1987—at 131.0 percent of the 1977 average—was
slightly higher than the figure published earlier
(130.7).

Statements to Congress
Statement by Alan Greenspan, Chairman, Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
before the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Finance of the Committee on Energy
and Commerce, U.S. House of Representatives,
October 5, 1987.
I welcome this opportunity to appear before the
Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Finance to explore the structure of the financial
services industry with an emphasis on the regulatory framework that applies to banking and
securities activities. I want to express my appreciation to you for calling this hearing and for
focusing the attention of the Congress and this
committee on the important issue of the basic
rules that should apply to the financial services
industries.
Mr. Chairman, in a speech that you made
recently in San Francisco, you expressed increasing unease that the financial system has
evolved beyond the terms of our laws and is
functioning without effective legislative guidelines. You said, the "Congress must be at the
center, not the sidelines, of the development of the
policy for structuring our financial industry."
I would like to express my strong agreement
with that view. It is essential that the Congress
come to grips with the difficult decisions that
must be made to update our laws to the new
circumstances of technology and competition.
We all feel considerable frustration that the Congress has not acted, and I very much welcome
the pledge made by both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the Competitive Equality Banking Act adopted earlier this year not to
extend the moratorium on banking expansion, to
review our banking and financial laws, and to
make decisions on the need for financial restructuring legislation before the moratorium expires.
Before turning to the questions of financial
structure, I believe it is important to reflect on
our starting point. We have the strongest, most




competitive, and innovative capital market in the
world. Our job is to preserve its strengths and
make improvements to assure its role in a substantially more competitive world marketplace.
Banking is a vital part of this capital market
structure, and despite a difficult economic environment, this industry has shown extraordinary
resilience and strength. It has carried a special
burden in the transition to a less inflationary
economic climate as some of the major sectors it
has financed—agriculture, developing countries,
energy, and real estate—have been seriously and
adversely affected by the transition, experiencing
in some cases not only a relative slowdown in the
rate of inflation, but actual sharp declines in
prices. The banking industry is coming through
this experience wiser and stronger.
While profitability levels for many banks remain depressed, regional banks have been
strongly profitable and have strengthened themselves in the past three years through regional
interstate banking arrangements. In the future, I
anticipate the development of a broad interstate
banking system as regional arrangements evolve
into a national framework. Already 10 states
have adopted full interstate banking, 13 states
have provided for it after a transition period, and
8 additional states permit interstate acquisition of
troubled banks. This constructive trend, especially when fully developed, will result in better
service to customers and a strengthened banking
system.
Securities markets also are adjusting to substantial change. The global marketplace, involving 24-hour trading in a variety of securities, is
now a reality. There has been an explosion in
complex new products and services posing new
risks and putting a new emphasis on capital
adequacy. And here at home attention has focused on a deterioration in ethical standards and
the possible need to take corrective action.
All of these concerns have led to a new and
searching focus on how our financial structure

908

Federal Reserve Bulletin • December 1987

can be improved. Your San Francisco speech
pointed to many of these issues, including international competition, new securitized products,
deregulation of interest rates, and expansion of
nonbanking organizations into fields traditionally
thought of as banking services and vice versa. All
of these developments have amounted to a very
much more competitive environment for banking, while at the same time banking has been
frozen within a regulatory structure fashioned
some 50 years ago. Your statement and those of
many others reflect what, I believe, is a widespread feeling that our existing structure is too
rigid, limiting efficient service to the users of
financial services, hampering competition in a
way that produces unfair and anomalous results.
Senator Proxmire's consideration of a proposal
to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act is another example of this serious reevaluation of our financial
laws.
Among all these changes there is one development that I believe is of particular importance
and is now a permanent feature of the financial
environment. This development is the erosion of
the role of banks as intermediaries in the creditgranting process as a result of major developments in data processing and telecommunications technology. These changes have taken the
form of improvements in productivity, permitting
the efficient processing of large volumes of transactions, the linking of geographically separate
markets, and a substantial reduction of costs.
These changes, in turn, have had a marked
impact on the traditional role of banks—intermediation whose function it is to substitute bank
credit for the credit of the ultimate borrower.
This traditional intermediation, the result of careful credit analysis and diversification of risk, has
provided lenders more secure investments than
would otherwise have been possible through
direct loans from a lender to an ultimate borrower. In this process, the value added by the
bank, and a core element of its comparative
advantage, is its superior information about the
creditworthiness of the borrower.
Now, extensive on-line data bases, powerful
computation capacity, and telecommunication
facilities provide credit and market information
almost instantaneously, allowing the lender to
make its own analysis of creditworthiness, and to




develop and execute complex trading strategies
to hedge against risk. The result is that the basic
products provided by banks—credit evaluation
and diversification of risk—are less competitive
than they were 10 years earlier. These fundamental changes will have a permanent effect on the
competitiveness of depository institutions and
will expand the competitive advantage of the
market for securitized assets.
The impact of these changes in relative competitiveness because of technological innovation
has been accelerated by another simultaneous
development. The full force of the technological
changes has come at a time when market forces
have adversely affected many of the sectors to
which a large number of banking institutions
have made significant financial commitments.
Thus, the growing cost advantage of avoiding the
depository institution intermediary, already significant in terms of a reduction in both administrative and regulatory costs, widened as a result
of the market downgrading of many banks.
As one important example of the consequences of these changes, we have seen a remarkable expansion of the commercial paper
market as a substitute for direct short-term lending by banks to the most creditworthy borrowers. Since 1980, this market has more than doubled—rising from $31 billion at the end of that
year to $78 billion at midyear 1987.
The same kind of securitization of many other
types of lending has proceeded apace, involving
everything from home mortgages to automobile
loans. Expansion has been most dramatic in the
mortgage market where mortgage pass-through
securities exceeded $600 billion at midyear 1987,
or about one-third of all residential mortgage
debt. The concept of the pass-through security
has more recently been extended to other claims
on the household sector, notably automobile
loans and credit card receivables, which stood at
about $15 billion at midyear. The development of
this market, which substitutes securities for bank
loans, is now reaching down below the top
industrial and commercial firms to a broader
segment of the economy. As you know, banks
have not been able to participate fully in servicing this extension of their own natural markets
because of regulatory restrictions.
These same technological forces are now prev-

Statements

alent throughout the world. To remain viable in
this highly competitive and innovative environment, financial institutions are seeking to have
the broadest range of products available to meet
the changing needs of their customers. Thus, we
have seen investment firms provide traditional
banking services, such as short-term bridge financing, and banking firms, including American
and Japanese banks that are under regulatory
constraints at home, participate broadly in securities markets overseas. As an aside, I would
note that the successful and substantial participation of U.S. banking firms in these overseas
markets for debt securities certainly raises important questions about the need for the restrictions on lenders doing the same thing at home. It
is considerations of the kind I have outlined
above that have led the British and Canadian
governments to adopt or propose substantial
changes in their previously segmented financial
systems to allow banking and other financial
service firms to provide integrated services in the
single world financial market.
As I have stressed, we do need to make some
changes in our segmented financial structure to
make it more competitively effective, both domestically and internationally, and I will turn to
this in a moment. One thing I do not think we
need to do is follow a deliberate policy of allowing our financial institutions to become larger for
the specific purpose of meeting international
competition.
One argument that is put forward for this
proposition is the fact that of the top 25 banks in
the world in 1986, 16 were Japanese and only 2
were based here, in contrast with 1981 when 4
were American including the top 2, while 10 were
Japanese. At the same time, we must ask ourselves whether these changes in the relative
ranking of Japanese firms can be explained
largely by Japan's rather highly concentrated
banking system, its appreciated currency, its
trade surpluses, and very high domestic savings.
It is no surprise that in these circumstances
Japanese institutions would be growing rapidly,
particularly in terms of dollars.
But there is no evidence that extraordinary
size is necessary for successful international
competition. Many banks in countries other than
our own compete successfully in the interna-




to Congress

909

tional marketplace with assets that are significantly smaller than those of their American counterparts. Clearly, many American financial
institutions have reached the size that is necessary for effective participation in international
markets.
On the other hand, I would rate capital adequacy as an important ingredient in the international competitive environment that does require
a great deal more attention. The Federal Reserve
has begun an effort, in cooperation with banking
supervisors both at home and overseas, to
achieve agreement on a uniform system for measuring capital adequacy focused on a risk-based
standard. Considerable progress is being made
toward an agreement, which I hope will be
completed by the end of this year. An agreement
of this kind will both strengthen the banking
system worldwide and assure greater equity in
the competitive environment.
I would like to turn now to consideration of
how we should go about restructuring the financial system to deal with the problems that I think
we all agree are hampering its performance. You
have suggested that the fundamental test for
determining the kind and scope of the required
changes is what we will need to do to serve better
our nation's economic interest. You point out
that in the process of considering removal of
some or all of the barriers separating banking and
securities firms we have to ask ourselves several
important questions, including the following: (1)
How can we insulate insured deposits from securities activities? (2) How can we ensure the
continued safety and soundness of, and public
confidence in, banking and securities markets?
and (3) How can we prevent conflicts of interest
and concentration of resources? To these important considerations I would add the corollary that
our basic objective must be to promote a system
that provides efficient services to customers large
and small in an environment that promotes competition. As part of this analysis, I would add two
other points that are of particular importance to
the Federal Reserve but are also of vital concern
to the economy as a whole: (1) we must have a
system in which monetary policy can function
efficiently; and (2) we must have a system that
maintains the integrity of the nation's payment
system.

910

Federal Reserve Bulletin • December 1987

There is, I believe, wide agreement on these
goals. We accept as basic to our thinking that any
combination of banking and other firms should
take place within an organizational structure that
separates the bank in such a manner as to assure
that only the bank has the benefit of the support
of the federal safety net and that includes deposit
insurance and access to Federal Reserve lending.
There are various ways in which this separation
could be accomplished. The three main proposals that have been put before the Congress involve the following ideas:
1. Require that all nonbanking activities of a
banking enterprise take place in the subsidiary of
an overall holding company. This holding company could be subject to the same regulatory
framework that we have now for holding companies. This proposal, put forward by the President
of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
suggests that the powers of bank holding companies should not extend beyond securities and
insurance activities and that traditional holding
company regulation is appropriate in this context.
2. In contrast, others suggest that functional
regulation should be applied to each of the different kinds of activities owned by a holding
company parent, but that there should be little, if
any, regulatory authority over the parent enterprise.
3. Finally, suggestions have been made, including those recently put forward in a Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation staff paper, that it
would be appropriate to expand nonbanking activities of banking institutions within the subsidary of banks themselves without any regulation
at all at the holding company level.
While we have yet to come to definitive conclusions about these implementation options, our

experience thus far suggests that the most effective insulation of a bank from affiliated financial
or commercial activities is achieved through a
holding company structure, though we welcome
debate on other alternatives.
We also agree that attention must be given to
the whole range of relationships between a bank
and its affiliated entities to assure that confidence
in banks is not compromised and that conflicts of
interest are avoided. In addition, we are addressing such issues as the following: (1) the need for
limitations on loans by a bank to affiliated enterprises or to customers of affiliated enterprises; (2)
the need for adequate separation of directors,
officers, and premises; (3) restrictions on the flow
of confidential information; (4) the scope of permissible joint marketing; (5) rules on intercorporate provision of services; and (6) the need for
public disclosure of affiliate relationships.
As a result of this review, we at the Board
hope to be in a position to advise the Congress on
how best to implement the changes that we see
are so urgently needed to assure that the financial
system continues to serve our public policy
goals. We expect to have specific recommendations on how best to achieve bank-affiliate insulation, on the maintenance of safety and soundness, on prevention of conflicts of interest, and
on avoidance of conferring competitive benefits
that are unavailable to all competitors that are
similarly situated. We hope that these recommendations will be valuable to the Congress as it
proceeds with its consideration of the restructuring of our financial system and that our recommendations will enable the American financial
system to remain competitive, serving the needs
of customers here and abroad without compromising the strength or stability of our financial
markets.

Statement by Martha R. Seger, Member, Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System,
before the Subcommittee on Consumer Affairs
and Coinage of the Committee on Banking,
Finance and Urban Affairs, U.S. House of Representatives, October 6, 1987.

I appreciate the opportunity to appear before this
subcommittee to discuss home equity lines of
credit and H.R. 3011. The proposed bill would
amend the Truth in Lending Act to require
creditors to provide consumers with more information about home equity programs in advertise-




Statements

ments and in initial account disclosure statements.
The information that we have regarding home
equity lines of credit shows that there has been a
substantial growth in this type of credit since
1984, with outstanding balances totaling approximately $40 billion at the end of 1986. We believe
that the total may now be as high as $65 billion
and could reach $75 billion to $80 billion by
year-end.
The rapid expansion is probably attributable to
several factors. For example, the plans have
provided consumers convenient access to credit
at interest rates that are relatively low compared
with other means of financing consumer spending. Tax laws phasing out the deductibility of
interest for nonmortgage consumer debt have
made home equity loans more desirable to taxconscious borrowers. In addition, competition
among financial institutions to offer diverse financial services to their customers has resulted
in vigorous marketing of home equity lines, often
at low introductory interest rates and discounted
fees.
Recently, the Board and other bank regulatory
agencies changed the reporting requirements for
credit secured by real estate to provide more
complete and accurate information on household
borrowing through home equity lines of credit.
This change should provide more accurate information for an important segment of the market,
and enable us to better gauge the growth of this
type of credit and the effect it is having on other
consumer borrowing. In addition, the Board has
conducted consumer surveys this year to gather
information that will allow us to better understand consumer usage of home equity lines of
credit.
During the past year, the Board has received
inquiries from financial institutions, trade associations, consumer groups, and the Congress concerning home equity lines of credit. Much of the
debate has focused on the current disclosure
requirements for these loans, and whether these
requirements are adequate. The sponsors of
H.R. 3011 have sought to address some of these
concerns by introducing legislation to require
additional disclosures for home equity loans. At
the same time, the Board has been reviewing its
current regulatory requirements, with the goal of




to Congress

911

ensuring that consumers receive sufficient information before contracting for this type of credit.

LEGISLATIVE

PROPOSAL

H.R. 3011 would amend the Truth in Lending
Act to establish additional disclosure and advertising requirements for open-end credit plans
secured by the consumer's dwelling. Currently,
the Truth in Lending Act and Regulation Z treat
home equity lines of credit like other types of
open-end credit plans. As a result, creditors are
required to disclose how the finance charge will
be determined under the plan, what other
charges will be imposed, the security interest
being taken, and the consumer's billing rights.
The proposed bill would require creditors to
give more extensive and detailed disclosures.
For example, it would require more disclosures
concerning the annual percentage rate, including,
if applicable, a statement that no limit on annual
rate increases exists. The bill would also add an
example, based on a $10,000 amount outstanding, showing the payment terms under the plan
and how changes in the annual percentage rate
could affect payments under the plan. In addition, the proposed bill would call for disclosure
of the creditor's ability to unilaterally change the
terms and conditions of the plan, a statement that
the consumer risks losing his or her home in the
event of any default, and a disclosure that interest-only payments increase the cost of the loan
since they do not reduce the principal owed.
Creditors would also be required to give consumers a pamphlet that is to be prepared by the
Board. These additional disclosures would generally have to be given at the time of application,
which is earlier than current requirements, and
would have to be segregated from other information, which is once again a departure from current truth-in-lending requirements for open-end
credit.
The proposed legislation would also add a new
advertising section to the Truth in Lending Act
for home equity lines. Currently, a creditor is
required to make certain cost disclosures in
advertisements only when "any specific terms of
the plan" are included in the advertisement.
Regulation Z limits "specific terms" to items that

912

Federal Reserve Bulletin • December 1987

are required to be disclosed in the initial disclosures. The bill would add a reference to a periodic payment amount as a term that requires the
advertisement to include additional disclosures.
The bill also would require, under certain circumstances, a disclosure regarding the tax deductibility of interest paid on home equity loans
as "free money" or a "loan at prime."

POSSIBLE REGULATORY

ACTION

Since home equity programs are more complex
than other types of open-end credit plans and
pose a greater risk to consumers if they fail to
understand the terms and conditions of the plan,
the Board, like the Congress, is concerned about
whether the existing disclosure requirements under the Truth in Lending Act and Regulation Z
ensure that consumers receive adequate information about these types of loans when they contract for a particular plan. In our review of H.R.
3011, we find that the Congress has identified
many of the issues that we ourselves have targeted as major areas of concern that possibly
could be addressed through regulatory action.
During the past year, Board staff has been
considering the issue of home equity lending
within the context of truth-in-lending disclosure
requirements. In addition, the Board's Consumer
Advisory Council formed a subcommittee at the
beginning of this year to look into the issue and
has discussed it at its past two meetings. The
staff's analysis indicates that the current regulatory requirements for open-end credit may not
reflect adequately the complexities that are present in most home equity programs. Specifically,
the staff has focused on the content, timing, and
format of the disclosures required under Regulation Z as possible candidates for regulatory
change. At this time, Board staff is preparing a
proposal that would amend Regulation Z to address these issues and expects to present the
recommendations of the staff to the Board sometime next month. Although the review is still in
process, and neither the staff nor the Board has
made any firm decisions about what can and
should be done, I would like to share with you
some of the particular issues we have been
considering.




Under current requirements, when a home
equity plan is opened, a creditor need only give
those general disclosures that I previously outlined. Creditors are not required to disclose
certain items, such as their right to unilaterally
change the terms and conditions of the plan, or
the possibility that a balloon payment may be
required as part of the plan. It is conceivable that
Regulation Z could be amended to require disclosure of these features. There also may be a
need to require more disclosures in home equity
line advertisements. Some questions raised in
this regard include whether "teaser" rates are
adequately disclosed as only lasting for a limited
time period and whether disclosing a payment
term in an advertisement should require disclosure of other material terms, such as the annual
percentage rate or fees to be charged under the
plan. In considering any additional disclosure
requirements, however, the Board is guided by
the principle that disclosures should provide consumers with essential information, without overloading them with less important information or
unnecessarily raising creditors' compliance
costs.
Another area we have identified as one to look
into concerns the timing of disclosures. Regulation Z currently permits open-end credit disclosures to be given anytime before the first transaction. In the case of home equity lines of credit,
therefore, consumers, in many cases, do not
receive disclosures about the terms and conditions of the plan until closing. Since most home
equity credit plans involve large up-front fees
and tend to be more complex than other types of
open-end credit, an argument can be made for
requiring disclosure of the fees, terms, and conditions of such plans at an earlier time in the
credit process.
Finally, concern has been expressed that consumers may not fully understand the terms and
conditions of the programs. This concern may be
due, in part, to the complexity of these plans and
to the fact that the underlying contracts could run
several pages in length. Currently, Regulation Z
does not require any special format for open-end
disclosures. As a result, in most cases, the disclosures given for these plans are not segregated
from the contractual provisions or highlighted in
any standard manner. We believe that consumers

Statements

to Congress

913

should be alerted to the most important terms
and conditions of the plans for which they
contract. To the extent that the current regulatory requirements fail to meet this goal, it might
be necessary to require that disclosures about
these plans be segregated from other information.
The Federal Reserve Board shares the goal
that consumers receive adequate information at a

relevant stage of the credit process when they
contract for home equity loans. We believe that it
is particularly important that consumers understand these programs since they arguably pose a
greater risk because of their complexity, the
large credit lines generally involved, and the
possibility of losing one's home. Therefore, we
look forward to working with you on this important subject.

Statement by Wayne D. Angell, Member, Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System,
before the Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary
Policy of the Committee on Banking, Finance
and Urban Affairs and the Subcommittee on
Procurement, Innovation, and Minority Enterprise Development of the Committee on Small
Business, U.S. House of Representatives,
October 30, 1987.

serve District. The Board requested that the
membership of the Council include persons from
the small business and agricultural communities
in the Districts. Other sectors such as community
banks and organized labor were also included in
some Districts, and their inclusion depended on
the then-existing composition of Reserve Bank
and Branch boards of directors, the existing
formal and informal forums for contact with
different sectors, and the economic diversity of
the particular District. The size and composition
of each Council were left to the discretion of the
Reserve Bank.
From the perspective of the Board of Governors, the Councils have successfully met the
objectives we envisioned when they were established. The benefit to the Federal Reserve lies in
the ability of the Councils to provide economic
intelligence about current developments in the
District to their respective Reserve Bank. The
Banks have found that the concerns raised at
Council meetings have a distinctly regional flavor
that is of importance in the interpretation and
analysis of data on economic activity within the
District.
At the meeting each year with Council representatives in Washington, the Board is informed
firsthand of current and emerging developments
around the country, and the Council members
also confer to exchange views. The discussion
confirms the diversity of economic developments
and the variety of market pressures across Districts, even within the agricultural sector or the
small business community.
I can also report that the Presidents of the
Reserve Banks are of the view that the Council
members contribute additional information or
insight that only "grass roots" sources can pro-

I welcome the opportunity to discuss the functioning and effectiveness of the small business
and agriculture Advisory Councils to the Federal
Reserve Banks. The Board of Governors believes that the Advisory Councils have become a
valuable part of the informal structure of the
Federal Reserve System, and we are joined in
this assessment by the Presidents of the Federal
Reserve Banks.
I am pleased to be accompanied today by
members from the Advisory Councils of three
Districts: Carolyn Draper from the Dallas Reserve Bank's Advisory Council on Small Business and Agriculture, Donald Lynch from the
Philadelphia Reserve Bank's Small BusinessAgriculture Advisory Council, and William Mathers from the Minneapolis Reserve Bank's Advisory Council on Small Business, Agriculture,
and Labor. These Council members have just
participated in the meeting of the Board with
representatives from the Advisory Councils to
the 12 Federal Reserve Districts, which takes
place in the fall of each year.
The Advisory Councils to the Federal Reserve
Banks were established in 1985, with the encouragement of the Congress, for the purpose of
improving communication with various sectors
of economic activity within each Federal Re-

vide. Council meetings have provided a forum
for a two-way flow of information—as the Councils learn about the analysis of data that is
performed by the Reserve Banks, and the Banks
learn about the perceptions and expectations of
the small business and agricultural communities
that underlie the data. This additional information has been helpful to the directors of some of
the Reserve Banks who have considered it in
conjunction with their discount rate deliberations.
In your letter of invitation to this hearing, the
Subcommittee Chairmen have raised a number of
questions about the organization and functioning
of the Advisory Councils. I have provided detailed responses in an appendix to this statement. 1 However, let me just briefly indicate that,
while there is considerable organizational variation across the Districts, the Reserve Banks all
consider a wide range of sources of potential
candidates for Council membership. All seek
diversity in geographic, industry, and other characteristics in their selection of Council members,
and all have integrated the Councils fully into
their systems for gathering information about
economic activity in their District.
The small business and agricultural Advisory
Councils to the Federal Reserve Banks are now
in their third year of activity. Last year, at the
Board's request, the Council members who met
in Washington assessed the activities of the

Councils in terms of meeting the objectives for
improved communication between the Federal
Reserve and leaders of certain sectors of the
economy. The Council members unanimously
agreed that the activities of the Councils are
beneficial and should be continued. They believed that, with the Councils, policymakers
within the Federal Reserve are better informed of
the nature of the concerns of small business,
agriculture, and other sectors, as well as the
regional diversity of the problems confronting
these sectors.
Citing the diversity of issues across Reserve
Districts, the Council members also agreed that
decisions as to how the Council should function
should continue to be made within the Districts.
The Board specifically raised the possibility of
formal reporting to the Board and received a
unanimous reply that uniform reporting requirements need not, indeed should not, be imposed
by the Board. The Council members felt that
flexibility at the District level would best serve
the purpose of the Advisory Councils and that
the economic intelligence provided by Council
members to the Reserve Banks appropriately
makes its way into the policymaking process
through the participation of the Reserve Bank
Presidents in deliberations of the Federal Open
Market Committee and in other forums. In fact,
the Council members argued persuasively that
increased formality would be counterproductive
to the advisory process that had developed.
The Board appreciates your interest in the
Advisory Councils. I will be happy to answer any
questions you may have.

The Federal Reserve, consistent with its responsibilities as the Nation's central bank, affirmed today its
readiness to serve as a source of liquidity to support
the economic and financial system.

REVISED LIST OF OTC STOCKS SUBJECT TO
MARGIN REGULATIONS NOW AVAILABLE

The Federal Reserve Board on October 23, 1987,
published a revised list of over-the-counter
(OTC) stocks that are subject to its margin regulations, effective November 10, 1987.
This List of Marginable OTC Stocks supersedes the revised list that was effective on August 11, 1987. Changes that have been made in
the list, which now includes 3,328 OTC stocks,
are as follows: 182 stocks have been included for
the first time, 153 under NMS designation; 36
stocks previously on the list have been removed
for substantially failing to meet the requirements
for continued listing; 56 stocks have been removed for reasons such as listing on a national
securities exchange or involvement in an acquisition.
The list includes all over-the-counter securities
designated by the Board pursuant to its established criteria as well as all stocks designated as
National Market System (NMS) securities for
which transaction reports are required to be
made pursuant to an effective transaction reporting plan. Additional OTC securities may be designated as NMS securities in the interim between
the Board's quarterly publications and will be
immediately marginable. The next publication of
the Board's list is scheduled for February 1988.




In addition to NMS-designated securities, the
Board will continue to monitor the market activity of other OTC stocks to determine which
stocks meet the requirements for inclusion and
continued inclusion on the list.

FINAL GUIDELINES
BRIBERY ACT

REGARDING

THE BANK

The Board of Governors has approved final guidelines
regarding the Bank Bribery Act as required by the
Bank Bribery Amendments Act of 1985. The guidelines were developed by the Interagency Bank Fraud
Enforcement Working Group and submitted to the
Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
for its consideration and submission to each of the
federal financial institutions regulatory agencies. The
final guidelines encourage all state member banks and
bank holding companies to adopt codes of conduct or
written policies that describe the prohibitions of the
bank bribery law. They also identify situations that, in
the opinion of the Board of Governors, do not constitute violations of the federal bank bribery law. In
addition, the final guidelines suggest that State member banks and bank holding companies themselves
establish, in their own codes of conduct or written
policies, a range of internally acceptable dollar
amounts for the various benefits that their officials may
receive from those doing or seeking to do business
with them.
Effective October 21, 1987, as required by the Bank
Bribery Amendments Act of 1985 (P.L. 99-370), the
Board adopts the following guidelines regarding the
Bank Bribery Act, 18 U.S.C. section 215:

Final Guidelines
The final guidelines encourage all State member banks
and bank holding companies to adopt internal codes of
conduct or written policies or amend their present
codes of conduct or policies to include provisions that
explain the general prohibitions of the bank bribery
law. The guidelines relate only to the bribery law and
do not address other areas of conduct that a State
member bank or bank holding company would find
advisable to cover in its code of conduct or written
policy. Consistent with the intent of the statute to
proscribe corrupt activity within financial institutions,
the code or policy should prohibit any employee,
officer, director, agent or attorney of a State member
bank or bank holding company (hereinafter "Bank or
Bank Holding Company Official" or "Bank or Bank
Holding Company Officials") from:




(1) soliciting for themselves or for a third party
(other than the bank or bank holding company itself)
anything of value from anyone in return for any
business, service or confidential information of the
bank or bank holding company and from;
(2) accepting anything of value (other than bona fide
salary, wages and fees as referred to in 18 U.S.C.
Section 215(c)) from anyone in connection with the
business of the bank or the bank holding company,
either before or after a transaction is discussed or
consummated.
The State member banks' and bank holding companies' codes or policies should be designed to alert
Bank or Bank Holding Company Officials about the
bank bribery statute, as well as to establish and
enforce standards relating to acceptable business practices.
In its code of conduct or written policy, the State
member bank or bank holding company may, however, specify appropriate exceptions to the general
prohibition of accepting something of value in connection with bank or bank holding company business.
There are a number of instances where a Bank or Bank
Holding Company Official, without risk of corruption
or breach of trust, may accept something of value from
one doing or seeking to do business with the bank or
bank holding company. The most common examples
are the business luncheon or the holiday gift from a
customer. In general, there is no threat of a violation
of the statute if the acceptance is based on a family or
personal relationship existing independent of any business of the institution; if the benefit is available to the
general public under the same conditions on which it is
available to the Bank or Bank Holding Company
Official; or if the benefit would be paid for by the bank
or bank holding company as a reasonable business
expense if not paid for by another party. Indeed, by
adopting a code of conduct or written policy with
appropriate allowances for such circumstances, a
State member bank or bank holding company recognizes that acceptance of certain benefits by its Bank or
Bank Holding Company Officials does not amount to a
corrupting influence on the bank's or bank holding
company's transactions.
In issuing guidance under the statute in the area of
business purpose entertainment or gifts, it is not

920

Federal Reserve Bulletin • December 1987

advisable for the Board of Governors to establish rules
about what is reasonable or normal in fixed dollar
terms. What is reasonable in one part of the country
may appear lavish in another part of the country. A
State member bank or bank holding company should
seek to embody the highest ethical standards in its
code of conduct or written policy. In doing this, a
State member bank or bank holding company may
establish in its own code or policy a range of dollar
values which cover the various benefits that its Bank
or Bank Holding Company Officials may receive from
those doing or seeking to do business with the bank or
bank holding company.
The code of conduct or written policy should provide that, if a Bank or Bank Holding Company Official
is offered or receives something of value beyond what
is authorized in the bank's or bank holding company's
code of conduct or written policy, the Bank or Bank
Holding Company Official must disclose that fact to an
appropriately designated official of the financial institution. The State member bank or bank holding company should keep contemporaneous written reports of
such disclosures. An effective reporting and review
mechanism should serve to prevent situations that
might otherwise lead to implications of corrupt intent
or breach of trust and should enable the bank or bank
holding company to better protect itself from selfdealing. However, a Bank or Bank Holding Company
Official's full disclosure evidences good faith when
such disclosure is made in the context of properly
exercised supervision and control. Management
should review the disclosures and determine that what
is accepted is reasonable and does not pose a threat to
the integrity of the State member bank or bank holding
company. Thus, the prohibitions of the bank bribery
statute cannot be avoided by simply reporting to
management the acceptance of various gifts.
The Board of Governors recognizes that a serious
threat to the integrity of a State member bank or bank
holding company occurs when its Bank or Bank Holding Company Officials become involved in outside
business interests or employment that gives rise to a
conflict of interest. Such conflicts of interest may
evolve into corrupt transactions that are covered under the bank bribery statute. Accordingly, State member banks and bank holding companies are encouraged
to prohibit, in their codes of conduct or policies, their
Bank or Bank Holding Company Officials from selfdealing or otherwise trading on their positions with the
bank or bank holding company or accepting from one
doing or seeking to do business with the bank or bank
holding company a business opportunity not available
to other persons or that is made available because of
such official's position with the State member bank or
bank holding company. In this regard, a State member



bank's or bank holding company's code of conduct or
policy should require that its Bank or Bank Holding
Company Officials disclose all potential conflicts of
interest, including those in which they have been
inadvertently placed due to either business or personal
relationships with customers, suppliers, business associates, or competitors of the bank or bank holding
company.

In its code of conduct or written policy, a State
member bank or bank holding company may describe
appropriate exceptions to the general prohibition regarding the acceptance of things of value in connection
with bank or bank holding company business. These
exceptions may include those that:
(a) permit the acceptance of gifts, gratuities, amenities or favors based on obvious family or personal
relationships (such as those between the parents,
children or spouse of a Bank or Bank Holding
Company Official) where the circumstances make it
clear that it is those relationships rather than the
business of the bank or bank holding company
concerned which are the motivating factor;
(b) permit acceptance of meals, refreshments, travel
arrangements or accommodations, or entertainment, all of reasonable value and in the course of a
meeting or other occasion the purpose of which is to
hold bona fide business discussions, provided that
the expenses would be paid for by the State member
bank or bank holding company as a reasonable
business expense, if not paid for by another party
(the bank or bank holding company may establish a
specific dollar limit for such an occasion);
(c) permit acceptance of loans from other banks or
financial institutions on customary terms to finance
proper and usual activities of Bank or Bank Holding
Company Officials, such as home mortgage loans,
except where prohibited by law;
(d) permit acceptance of advertising or promotional
material of reasonable value, such as pens, pencils,
note pads, key chains, calendars and similar items;
(e) permit acceptance of discounts or rebates on
merchandise or services that do not exceed those
available to other customers;
(f) permit acceptance of gifts of reasonable value
that are related to commonly recognized events or
occasions, such as a promotion, new job, wedding,
retirement, Christmas or bar or bat mitzvah (the
bank or bank holding company may establish a
specific dollar limit for such an occasion); or
(g) permit the acceptance of civic, charitable, educational, or religious organizational awards for recognition of service and accomplishment (the bank or

Legal Developments

bank holding company may establish a specific
dollar limit for such an occasion).
The policy or code may also provide that, on a case
by case basis, a State member bank or bank holding
company may approve of other circumstances, not
identified above, in which a Bank or Bank Holding
Company Official accepts something of value in connection with bank or bank holding company business,
provided that such approval is made in writing on the
basis of a full written disclosure of all relevant facts
and is consistent with the bank bribery statute.

Disclosures and Reports
To make effective use of these guidelines, the Board of
Governors recommends the following additional procedures:
(a) The State member bank or bank holding company should maintain a copy of any code of conduct
or written policy it establishes for its Bank or Bank
Holding Company Officials, including any modifications thereof.
(b) The State member bank or bank holding company should require an initial written acknowledgement of its code or policy and a written acknowledgement of any subsequent material changes to
the code or policy from its Bank or Bank Holding
Company Officials and the Bank or Bank Holding
Company Officials' agreement to comply therewith.
(c) The State member bank or bank holding company should maintain contemporaneous written reports of any disclosures made by its Bank or Bank
Holding Company Officials in connection with a
code of conduct or written policy.

Order Approving the Merger of Bank Holding
Companies
Alaska Mutual Bancorporation, Anchorage, Alaska, a
bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (12 U.S.C.
§ 1841 et seq.) ("BHC Act"), has applied for the



921

Board's approval under section 3(a)(5) of the BHC Act
(12 U.S.C. § 1842(a)(5)) to merge with United Bancorporation Alaska, Inc., Anchorage, Alaska ("United"),
also a bank holding company within the meaning of the
BHC Act. 1 After the merger with United, Applicant
will retain its charter, but will conduct business under
a new name, Alliance Bancorporation.
Notice of the application, affording an opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments, has been
given in accordance with section 3(b) of the BHC Act
(12 U.S.C. § 1842(b)). 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)).
Applicant is the second largest commercial banking
organization in Alaska, controlling one subsidiary
bank with total deposits of $692 million, representing
17 percent of the total deposits in commercial banks in
the state. 2 United is the fifth largest commercial banking organization in Alaska, controlling two subsidiary
banks with total deposits of $440 million, representing
10.8 percent of the total deposits in commercial banks
in the state. Upon consummation of the proposed
transaction, Applicant would become the largest commercial banking organization in the state, with total
deposits of $1.1 billion, representing 27.8 percent of
the total deposits in commercial banks in the state.
The Board has considered carefully the effects of the
combination of the second and fifth largest commercial
banking organizations in Alaska on the concentration
of banking resources in the state. The Board notes that
after consummation of the proposal, numerous banking alternatives would remain in Alaska. Based on the
foregoing and other facts of record, the Board concludes that the proposed transaction would have no
substantial adverse effects on the concentration of
banking resources in Alaska.
In evaluating this application, the Board has considered the financial resources of Applicant and the effect
on those 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, particu-

1. As part of this merger, United's subsidiary bank, United Bank
Alaska, Anchorage, a state-chartered bank, will merge into Applicant's subsidiary bank, Alaska Mutual Bank, Anchorage ("AMB"), a
state-chartered stock savings bank. The resulting bank will continue
to do business under the charter of AMB and its new name, Alliance
Bank. Subsequent to this bank merger, United's other subsidiary
bank, United Bank Alaska Southeastern, Juneau, Alaska, also a
state-chartered bank, will be merged into Alliance Bank. Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation approval of both bank mergers is being
sought, pursuant to the Bank Merger Act, 12 U . S . C . § 1828(c),
contemporaneously with this application.

larly in transactions such as this in which the acquisition of a large organization experiencing financial
problems is proposed.
This proposal is designed to significantly enhance
the financial resources of Applicant. This acquisition
has been structured as an exchange of shares, and
Applicant will not incur any debt in connection with
this proposal. The Board has given special attention to
Applicant's commitment to issue significant amounts
of additional primary capital to augment its capital
base following consummation of this proposal. In
addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
has agreed to make a significant capital contribution to
Applicant, which will assist its recapitalization plan.
This increase in primary capital is considered to be a
significant factor weighing in favor of the proposal.
After a review of Applicant's proposal in light of the
financial condition of Applicant and United and the
current difficulties in the Alaska economy, the Board
concludes that the pro forma financial and managerial
resources of Applicant and its subsidiary bank, are
consistent with approval. In reaching this decision, the
Board has noted as a matter of particular importance
the circumstances under which this merger has been
arranged. Due in part to a weak state economy,
Applicant and United have experienced a decline in
operating performance and recently have experienced
significant financial losses. The merger of the two
companies and resulting cost savings are anticipated to
position Applicant to better withstand the current
difficult economic situation in the energy and real
estate sectors of the economy.
The Board also has considered that this proposal,
under the circumstances, represents the best available
alternative to address the financial difficulties of Applicant and United. Based on all of the preceding
financial factors and other facts of record, the Board
concludes that, on balance, the financial resources of
Applicant and its subsidiary bank are consistent with
approval of this application.
Applicant and United compete directly in the Anchorage banking market. 3 Applicant is the largest of 11
commercial banking organizations in the market, with
total deposits of $516 million, representing 22.3 percent of total deposits in commercial banks in the
market. 4 United is the third largest commercial banking organization in the market, with total deposits of
$320 million, representing 13.8 percent of total depos-

its in commercial banks in the market. Upon consummation of this proposal, Applicant would remain the
largest commercial banking organization in the market
and would control 36.1 percent of the total deposits in
commercial banks in the market. The Anchorage
banking market is moderately concentrated, with the
four largest banking organizations in the market controlling 66.1 percent of the deposits in the market.
Upon consummation of the proposal, the market
would become concentrated, with the four-firm concentration ratio increasing to 77 percent. The market's
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index ("HHI") would increase
by 615 points from 1424 to 2039.5
Although consummation of this application would
eliminate some existing competition between Applicant and United in the Anchorage banking market,
certain facts and circumstances of this case mitigate
the anticompetitive effects that would otherwise result
from the consummation. Numerous other banking
organizations, including two thrift institutions, would
remain in the market following consummation of the
proposal. Moreover, the record of this application
indicates that this transaction would provide substantial benefits to the convenience and needs of the
community by averting further deterioration of the
financial condition of Applicant and United. In this
context, the Board concludes that the benefit of maintaining services to the customers of Applicant and
United that would be derived from this proposal are so
substantial as to outweigh any anticompetitive effects
of this proposal.
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the application under the
BHC Act should be and hereby is approved. The
transaction shall not be consummated before the fifth
calendar day following the effective date of this Order
or 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
San Francisco pursuant to delegated authority.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
October 28, 1987.

5. Under the revised Department of Justice Merger Guidelines (49
Federal Register 26,823 (1984)) a market in which the post-merger
HHI is over 1800 is considered concentrated. In such markets, the
Department is likely to challenge a merger that increases the HHI by
more than 50 points. The Department has informed the Board that a
bank merger or acquisition generally will not be challenged (in the
absence of other factors indicating anticompetitive efiFects) unless the
post-merger HHI is at least 1800 and the merger increases the HHI by
at least 200 points. The Justice Department has stated that the higher
than normal HHI thresholds for screening bank mergers for anticompetitive efiFects implicitly recognizes the competitive effect of limitedpurpose lenders and other non-depository financial entities.

Fairfax Bancshares, Inc.
Fairfax, Missouri
Order Approving Acquisition of a Bank
Fairfax Bancshares, Inc., Fairfax, Missouri, a bank
holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1841
et seq., has applied pursuant to section 3(a)(3) of the
Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1842(a)(3), to acquire 30 percent of
the voting shares of The Farmers and Valley Bank,
Tarkio, Missouri.
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
given in accordance with section 3(b) of the Act. 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 Act.
Applicant is a Missouri corporation with one bank
subsidiary, controlling deposits of $13.5 million, representing 0.03 percent of total deposits in commercial
banking organizations in the state. Bank is the 464th
largest commercial bank in Missouri, controlling deposits of $14 million, representing 0.03 percent of total
deposits in commercial banking organizations in the
state. 1 Upon consummation of this proposal, Applicant would continue to rank among the smallest commercial banking organizations in the state, controlling
0.06 percent of total deposits in commercial banking
organizations in the state. Consummation of the proposal would not significantly increase the concentration of banking resources in Missouri.
Applicant's subsidiary bank competes directly with
Bank in the Atchison County banking market. 2 Applicant is the smallest of five banking organizations in the
market, controlling deposits of $13.5 million, representing 12.8 percent of total market deposits. Bank is
the fourth largest bank in the market, controlling $14
million in deposits, representing 13.3 percent of total
market deposits. Upon consummation of this proposal, Applicant would become the second largest
commercial banking organization in the market, controlling 26 percent of total market deposits. The market is considered highly concentrated, with a four-firm

923

concentration ratio of 87.2 percent and a HerfindahlHirschman Index ("HHI") of 2288. Upon consummation of this proposal the four-firm concentration ratio
would increase to 100 percent and the HHI would
increase by 339 points to 2627.3
Although consummation of this proposal would
eliminate existing competition between Applicant and
Bank, several factors mitigate the competitive effects
of the proposal. Competition between Applicant's
subsidiary bank and Bank has been reduced by the
long-term involvement of a principal of Applicant and
its subsidiary bank as a management official of Bank.
In addition, the Board has previously considered the
impact of market demographic and economic factors
as factors mitigating adverse competitive effects. 4 The
Atchison County banking market is a rural, sparsely
populated area experiencing a severe economic decline. The population of Atchison County has declined
and the county lags the state in most measures of
economic performance, including per capita income.
Both Applicant and Bank are small in absolute size
and may derive some economies of scale from consolidation. In addition, Applicant and Bank have not been
active competitors in the market, as evidenced by their
relatively low shares of loans, rates of deposit growth,
and ratios of loans to deposits. 5 Finally, one of the
competing organizations that would remain in the
market is a subsidiary of the seventh largest bank
holding company in the state. Consequently, the
Board has determined that, in view of all of the facts of
record, consummation of this proposal would not have
a significant adverse effect on existing competition in
the Atchison County banking market. Thus, the Board
concludes that competitive aspects are consistent with
approval.
The financial and managerial resources of Applicant, its subsidiary bank, and Bank are consistent with
approval. Considerations relating to the convenience
and needs of the communities to be served are also
consistent with approval.

3. Under the revised Department of Justice Merger Guidelines (49
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 is likely to
be challenged (in the absence of other factors indicating an anticompetitive effect) if the post-merger HHI is at least 1800 and the merger
increases the HHI by at least 200 points.
The Department of Justice has informed Board staff that the
Department will not challenge this acquisition on antitrust grounds.

M & F Capital Corporation
Macon, Mississippi
Order Approving Formation of a Bank Holding
Company
M & F Capital Corporation, Macon, Mississippi, has
applied for the Board's approval pursuant to section
3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1842(a)(1)) (the "BHC Act") to become a bank
holding company by acquiring all of the voting shares
of Merchants and Farmers Bank, Macon, Mississippi
("Bank").
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
published (52 Federal Register 27,460 (1987)). The
time for filing comments has expired, and the Board
has considered the application and all comments received, including comments in opposition to the application from the Mississippi Legal Services Coalition
("Mississippi Coalition"), in light of the factors set
forth in section 3(c) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1842(c)).
Applicant is a nonoperating company with no subsidiaries, formed for the purpose of acquiring Bank.
Bank is the largest of three commercial banking organizations in the Noxubee County market, 1 controlling
deposits of $42.2 million representing 60.3 percent of
total market deposits. 2 None of the principals of

market. Accordingly, consummation of this proposal
would not have any significant effect on existing or
probable future competition, nor would it significantly
increase the concentration of banking resources in the
relevant banking market.
The financial and managerial resources of Applicant
and Bank are considered satisfactory and consistent
with approval. In considering the convenience and
needs of the communities to be served, the Board has
also taken into account Applicant's record under the
Community Reinvestment Act (12 U.S.C. § 2901
et seq. ("CRA")). 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. The Board has received comments from the Mississippi Coalition, which represents low-income and minority groups and individuals
in Macon. The Mississippi Coalition contends that
Bank has failed to "accurately serve" the convenience
and needs of low-income and minority persons in the
Noxubee and Kemper County area. 3
In accordance with the Board's practice and procedures for handling protested applications, 4 the Board
reviewed the allegations made by the Mississippi Coalition and Applicant's response. Bank has met privately with the Mississippi Coalition and has made a
number of commitments designed to tailor its services
more closely to the convenience and needs of its
community. Bank has committed to: continue to pursue the establishment of a mortgage loan department
offering VA and FHA loans; advertise that an unaffiliated mortgage company will accept VA and FHA
applications on Bank's premises; increase the number
of home improvement and business loans made to
minorities; advertise loan products on a local radio
station; and increase its number of minority employees
and officers.
The Board notes that the FDIC has previously
determined that the CRA record of Bank is satisfactory. The Board has carefully reviewed Bank's record
in meeting the convenience and needs of all segments

3. The Mississippi Coalition asserts that the Board should not
approve this application, unless Bank establishes an affirmative lending program that would target loans to low income and minority
neighborhoods and areas within Bank's service area; increases the
number of home improvement loans, short-term working capital for
neighborhood businesses, loans for community development corporations, and FHA, FmHA and VA loans made to minorities and
low-to-moderate income residents; includes an aggressive marketing
program such as targeting advertising to minority groups and neighborhoods; and establishes a dollar goal for lending in the low-income
and minority neighborhoods in Bank's service area.

of its community. 5 Based on this review and after
taking into account Bank's commitments to enhance
its 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. 6
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the application should be,

not be consummated before the thirtieth calendar day

its installment loans secured by real estate or mobile homes and 28
percent of its total commercial real estate loans to minority residents.
Moreover, over 50 percent of the government guaranteed student
loans made by bank and over half of its automobile loans were made
to minority residents. In addition, Bank currently offers free checking
to persons 65 years and older as well as checking accounts at reduced
rates for low-income individuals. As noted above, Applicant has
committed to continue to pursue establishing a VA, FHA, or FmHA
mortgage loan program.
6. The Mississippi Coalition has also requested that the Board
order a public meeting to receive public testimony on the issues
presented by these applications. Although section 3(b) of the BHC Act
does not require a public meeting or formal hearing in this instance,
the Board may, in any case, order a public meeting or hearing. See
12 C.F.R. § 262.25(d). In its request for a public meeting, the
Mississippi Coalition does not present any material questions of fact
that are in dispute. In accordance with the Board's guidelines,
Applicant and the Mississippi Coalition have met privately to discuss
this application and have exchanged extensive correspondence. In the
Board's view, the parties have had ample opportunity to present their
arguments in writing and respond to one another's submissions. Based
on these facts, the Board has determined that a public hearing or an
informal public meeting is not necessary to clarify the record in this
case and would serve no useful purpose. Accordingly, the Mississippi
Coalition's request for a public meeting is hereby denied.

3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1842(a)(1)) (the "BHC Act") to become a bank
holding company by acquiring all of the voting shares
of Wakefield Savings Bank, Wakefield, Massachusetts
("Bank"), an FDIC insured savings bank. 1 Bank
presently operates as a mutual association and will
convert to stock form in connection with the acquisition.
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
published (52 Federal Register 28,192 (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 Act (12 U.S.C. § 1842(c)).
Applicant is a nonoperating company formed for the
purpose of acquiring Bank. Bank is the 75th largest
banking organization in Massachusetts, with approximately $215.4 million in deposits, controlling less than
one percent of the total deposits in banking organizations in Massachusetts. 2
Bank is the 15th largest of 58 banking organizations
in the Boston market, 3 controlling less than one percent of total deposits in banks in the market. 4 In view
of the fact that the proposal represents a corporate
reorganization, consummation of this proposal would
not result in any adverse effects upon competition or
increase the concentration of banking resources in any
relevant market. Accordingly, the Board concludes
that competitive considerations under the BHC Act
are consistent with approval.
In evaluating the financial resources of Applicant
and Bank, the Board has taken into consideration the
fact that Bank engages through subsidiaries in real
estate investment and development activities authorized pursuant to state law. The Board notes that the
Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987 amended
the BHC Act to provide that "notwithstanding any
other provision of [the BHC] Act, any qualified savings bank which is a subsidiary of a bank holding
company may engage, directly or through a subsidiary, in any activity in which such savings bank may

ute or regulation, or under any judicial interpretation
of any law, of the State in which such savings bank is
located." 5 Under this provision, a qualified savings
bank may engage directly or through a subsidiary in
any activity permitted by state law for the savings
bank to conduct as a savings bank, even though the
Board has not determined that the activity is closely
related to banking under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC
Act and the activity is thus not generally permissible
for bank holding companies under the Act.
While this provision of CEBA authorizes qualified
savings banks to conduct activities that may not be
permissible for bank holding companies under the
BHC Act, CEBA does not negate the Board's responsibility in the context of every bank holding company
application to evaluate the financial resources of the
bank holding company and the bank to be acquired. 6
In addition, under the International Lending Supervision Act ("ILSA"), the Board is responsible for
ensuring that bank holding companies and their nonbank subsidiaries maintain adequate levels of capital. 7
In this regard, the Board notes that the Senate Report
on this provision of CEBA states that, while it was
intended to allow qualified savings banks to engage in
state authorized activities, "[t]he Board would, however, be authorized under its general supervisory
authority over bank holding companies and their subsidiaries to prevent unsafe or unsound activities; or to
require the bank holding company to maintain higher
levels of capital to support such activities." 8
As part of the Board's analysis in this case, including its evaluation of the capital and financial resources
of the bank holding company and bank involved, the
Board has considered the risk to Applicant and Bank
of the real estate development activities conducted by
Bank through its nonbank subsidiaries. The Board has
serious reservations with this and similar applications
by bank holding companies to acquire savings banks
engaged directly or through subsidiaries in real estate
development activities. In its December 31, 1986 proposal regarding the real estate development activities
of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries, the
Board expressed the view that such activities involve
a significant degree of risk beyond other activities
conducted by banks and bank holding companies. (52
Federal Register 543 (1987)).
Accordingly, in its proposal the Board asked for
comment on a series of prudential safety and sound5. 101 Stat, at 561-562 (to be codified at 12 U.S.C. § 1842(f)). This
exception applies only to "qualified savings banks." A savings bank
loses its qualification if it is controlled by a bank holding company that
has less than 70 percent of its assets invested in savings banks.

ness limitations to ensure that the risk from these
activities is insulated to the maximum extent possible
from federally insured banking organizations affiliated
within a bank holding company system. Among these
limitations was a proposed requirement that real estate
development activities be authorized only through a
nonbank subsidiary of the bank holding company and
not through subsidiaries of a holding company bank.
The Board indicated such a requirement would be
intended to separate the subsidiary banks of bank
holding companies as much as possible from real
estate development activities, including the direct legal obligation for losses that might result from the
conduct of such activities.
In the Board's view, the conduct of real estate
development activities through a holding company
subsidiary rather than a bank subsidiary would provide more effective corporate separateness between
the bank and the real estate affiliate with a corresponding minimization of the risk that the bank's resources
and those of the federal safety net would be used to
support the affiliate or could be affected by difficulties
of the affiliate. Under such a structure, the bank would
be removed from the affiliate's ownership chain and
the concomitant responsibility for the management
and operations of the affiliate. This separation would
be particularly important from the standpoint of corporate separateness in a situation of financial stress.
The Board notes that in such a situation the management of the bank may feel compelled to dispense with
normal corporate formalities and take direct control
over the management and operations of a subsidiary,
thereby subjecting the bank to the increased risk of
liability for the losses of that subsidiary. The Board
also notes that in such a situation the bank may feel
pressured to lend its resources to the affiliate or its
customers or business associates, to relax normal
credit judgments, or to provide financial support to its
subsidiary, or to customers or business associates of
the subsidiary, other than through a direct credit
extension.
Moreover, under the holding company structure,
the losses of the holding company affiliate would not
be consolidated with the bank's earnings and customers of the bank and the public may be less likely to
perceive the affiliate to be an integral part of the bank,
providing additional safeguards for maintaining public
confidence in the bank.
The Board intends to review these and other questions raised by this application, including questions
related to the appropriate capital requirements for
bank holding companies that control savings banks
engaged in real estate development activities as well as
for their nonbank subsidiaries, in connection with the
Board's pending real estate investment and develop-

ment proposal. 52 Federal Register 543, 551 (1987). In
that proceeding, the Board has asked for comment on
whether it should modify its existing regulation (section 225.22(d)(2)) to prohibit holding company banks
from holding shares of a company engaged in real
estate development activities. 9 The Board has also
proposed for consideration whether additional safety
and soundness limitations are appropriate for the
conduct by bank holding companies and their nonbank
subsidiaries of real estate development activities.
The Board believes that it is appropriate to resolve
these important issues that affect a large number of
other institutions through a rulemaking proceeding in
which the Board has had the benefit of extensive
public comment and in which all parties interested in
this question may participate. In this regard, the Board
has also today asked for comment on certain additional measures that the Board is considering to ensure
that banking organizations and the resources of the
federal safety net are appropriately insulated from the
risks of real estate development activities. These include proposals to determine that a real estate subsidiary of a bank, as well as under certain circumstances,
a partner or co-venturer of such a subsidiary, would be
an "affiliate" of the bank for purposes of section 23 A
of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 371c(b)(2)),
thereby regulating transactions between the bank and
its real estate subsidiaries and partners; to impose
special capital requirements on bank holding companies and their nonbank subsidiaries engaged in real
estate development activities; and to require, as a
matter of safety and soundness and as a condition of
its approval for bank holding companies to acquire
qualified savings banks, that new real estate development investments by such organizations be made by
the parent bank holding company or its direct nonbank
subsidiaries rather than by the bank or subsidiaries of
the bank. This latter proposal would be in the event
the Board authorizes bank holding companies to engage in real estate development activities (subject to
certain prudential limitations) at the expiration of the
real estate moratorium imposed under Title II of
CEBA. In the interim, the Board will continue to
evaluate applications involving qualified savings banks
on a case by case basis.

927

Based upon its review of the facts in this case as well
as certain commitments by Applicant regarding its
capital position and that of Bank, the Board concludes
that the financial and managerial resources and future
prospects of Applicant and Bank are consistent with
approval of the proposal. In reaching this decision, the
Board has relied upon Applicant's commitment to
comply with the results of the Board's real estate
development rulemaking. The Board's approval of this
application is conditioned upon compliance with these
commitments.
Considerations relating to the convenience and
needs of the community to be served are consistent
with approval.
Bank also underwrites and sells Savings Bank Life
Insurance ("SBLI") through a department of Bank
pursuant to state law. Such activities are expressly
authorized for qualified savings banks under CEBA, 10
and are thus not subject to the insurance moratorium
provisions of Title II of CEBA. 11 The Board has
previously expressed its opinion that these activities
do not raise serious financial or safety and soundness
concerns. Accordingly, the Board has determined that
Bank's SBLI activities do not preclude approval of
this application.
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the application should be,
and hereby is, approved. The acquisition of 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 Boston, pursuant to
delegated authority.

with the conduct of real estate investment and development activities by banks and subsidiaries of banks.
Given the nature of these activities and their significant risk beyond the risks associated with traditional
banking and permissible nonbanking activities, we
believe that, consistent with safe and sound banking
practices, these activities should not be conducted by
a subsidiary of a holding company bank as proposed
by Applicant.
We note that the Board has proposed regulations
that would establish a framework and prudential limitations for the conduct of real estate development
activities within a holding company system. As the
majority notes, among these limitations is a requirement that the activities be conducted only by a direct
nonbank subsidiary of the bank holding company and
not through a subsidiary of a holding company bank.
In light of the significant risks associated with real
estate development activities, we would defer action
on this application until after the Board completes its
rulemaking proposal in this area. In the event that the
Board were to adopt the proposed framework for the
conduct of real estate development activities within a
bank holding company system, we would condition
approval of this application on a requirement that the
Applicant conduct its real estate activities within that
prudential framework. Accordingly, we do not agree
with the Board's decision to approve the application at
this time.

ORDERS ISSUED UNDER SECTION 4 OF THE
BANK HOLDING COMPANY ACT

First Interstate Bancorp
Los Angeles, California
Order Conditionally Approving Application to
Underwrite and Deal in Certain Securities to a
Limited Extent
First Interstate Bancorp, Los Angeles, California, a
bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1841 et seq.
("BHC Act"), has applied for the Board's approval
under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act and section
225.21(a) of the Board's Regulation Y, 12 C.F.R.
§ 225.21(a), to engage through a wholly owned subsidiary, First Interstate Capital Markets, Inc. ("Company"), in underwriting and dealing in, on a limited
basis, the following securities:
(1) municipal revenue bonds, including certain industrial development bonds;



(2) 1-4 family mortgage-related securities; and
(3) commercial paper. 1
Company currently underwrites and deals in securities that state member banks are permitted to underwrite and deal in under section 16 of the Banking Act
of 1933 (the "Glass-Steagall Act") (12 U.S.C. §§ 24
Seventh and 335) (hereinafter "bank-eligible securities"), as permitted by section 225.25(b)(16) of Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. § 225.25(b)(16)).
Applicant, with consolidated assets of $51.8 billion,
is the ninth largest banking organization in the nation. 2
It operates 24 subsidiary banks in California, Oregon,
Arizona, Washington, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico, Montana, Oklahoma, and Alaska
and engages in a broad range of permissible nonbanking activities in the United States.
Notice of the application, affording interested parties an opportunity to submit comments, has been
given in accordance with section 3(b) of the BHC Act
(52 Federal Register 32,606 (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.
On April 30, the Board approved applications by
Citicorp, J.P. Morgan and Bankers Trust to underwrite and deal in, through their bank-eligible securities
underwriting subsidiaries, 1-4 family mortgagebacked securities, municipal revenue bonds (and certain industrial development bonds) and commercial
paper (hereinafter "bank-ineligible securities"). 3 The
Board concluded that the underwriting subsidiaries
would not be "engaged principally" in underwriting or
dealing in securities within the meaning of section 20
of the Glass-Steagall Act provided they derived no
more than 5 percent of their total gross revenues from
underwriting and dealing in the bank-ineligible securities over any two-year period and their underwriting
and dealing activities did not exceed 5 percent of the
market for each particular type of security involved. 4
The Board further found that, subject to the prudential
1. Applicant proposes to conduct Company's underwriting and
dealing activity in these securities in the same manner and to the same
extent as previously approved by the Board in its Orders approving
similar applications. See Citicorp, J.P. Morgan & Co.

Bankers Trust New York Corporation, 73 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN 4 7 3 ( 1 9 8 7 ) .

approved similar applications by a number of other bank holding
companies. See, e.g., Marine Midland Banks, Incorporated, 73 FEDERAL RESERVE B U L L E T I N 7 3 8 n . 3 ( 1 9 8 7 ) .

4. Section 20 of the Glass-Steagall Act (12 U.S.C. § 377) prohibits
the affiliation of a member bank with "any corporation . . . engaged
principally in the issue, flotation, underwriting, public sale, or distribution at wholesale or retail or through syndicate participation of
stocks, bonds, debentures, notes, or other securities . . . ."

framework of limitations established in those cases to
address the potential for conflicts of interest, unsound
banking practices or other adverse effects, the proposed underwriting and dealing activities were so
closely related to banking as to be a proper incident
thereto within the meaning of section 4(c)(8) of the
BHC Act.
For the reasons set forth in the Board's Citicorp/
Morgan/Bankers Trust Order, the Board concludes
that Applicant's proposal to engage through Company
in underwriting and dealing in the proposed bankineligible securities 5 would not result in a violation of
section 20 of the Glass-Steagall Act and is closely
related and a proper incident to banking within the
meaning of section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act, provided
Applicant limits Company's activities as set forth in
the CiticorplMorganlBankerslTrust
Order. Accordingly, the Board has determined to approve the application subject to all of the terms and conditions
established in the Citicorp/Morgan/Bankers Trust Order. The Board hereby adopts and incorporates herein
by reference the reasoning and analysis contained in
the Citicorp/Morgan/Bankers Trust Order.
The Board's approval of this application extends
only to activities conducted within the limitations of
the CiticorplMorganlBankers Trust Order, including
the Board's reservation of authority to establish additional limitations to ensure that the subsidiary's activities are consistent with safety and soundness, conflict
of interest and other relevant considerations under the
BHC Act. Underwriting or dealing in the approved
securities in any manner other than as approved in that
Order is not within the scope of the Board's approval
and is not authorized for Company.
The Board's determination is subject to all of the
conditions set forth in the Board's Regulation Y,
including those in sections 225.4(d) and 225.23(b), and
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.
The Board notes that Title II of the Competitive
Equality Banking Act of 1987, enacted on August 10,
1987, prohibits the Board from authorizing a bank
holding company to engage in underwriting or dealing

5. The industrial development bonds approved in those applications and for Applicant in this case are only those tax exempt bonds in
which the governmental issuer, or the governmental unit on behalf of
which the bonds are issued, is the owner for federal income tax

facilities, and water pollution control facilities). Without further
approval from the Board, Company may underwrite or deal in only
these types of industrial development bonds.

in securities under the "engaged principally" provision of the Glass-Steagall Act, unless the effective
date of the Order is delayed until the expiration of a
moratorium time period established under the Act. 6
Accordingly, the Board has determined to delay the
effective date of this Order until the moratorium ends
on March 1, 1988.
In addition, the Board notes that the SIA has sought
judicial review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit of the CiticorplMorganlBankers Trust
Order to which this Order pertains, as well as subsequent Board Orders approving the underwriting applications of a number of other bank holding companies.
The Board notes that the court has stayed the effectiveness of these Board Orders pending judicial review. In light of the pendency of this litigation, the
Board has determined that this Order should be stayed
for such time as the stay of the prior decisions is
effective.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
October 7, 1987.

Dissenting Statement of Governor Angell
I regret I am unable to join the majority in approving
this application.
As I have stated previously, the regret reflects the
fact that, as a matter of policy, I support the idea that
affiliates of bank holding companies underwrite and
deal in commercial paper, municipal revenue bonds,
and 1-4 family mortgage-related securities, the activities involved in the Board's decision. 1 Moreover, I
agree generally with the nature of the limitations
placed upon the activities in the Board decision,
assuming the threshold question of their legality in the
particular form proposed can be answered affirmatively.
My point of difference involves precisely that question of law. Section 20 of the Glass-Steagall Act
provides that no member bank may be affiliated with

any corporation engaged principally in the underwriting of stocks, bonds, debentures, notes or other securities. I believe the plain words of the statute, read
together with earlier Supreme Court and circuit opinions, as I understand them, indicate that government
securities are indeed "securities" within the meaning
of section 20. Consequently, it appears to me that the
application approved here, as a matter of law, involves
affiliations of member banks with corporations that are
in fact not only "principally engaged" in dealing and
underwriting in securities, but in fact would be wholly
engaged in such activities, thereby exceeding the
authority of law. 2
My point is not merely one of legal formalisms. The
interpretation adopted by the majority would appear to
make feasible, as a matter of law if not Board policy,
the affiliations of banks with some of the principal
underwriting firms or investment houses of the country. Such a legal result, I feel, is inconsistent with the
intent of Congress in passing the Glass-Steagall Act.
As the Board as a whole has repeatedly urged, the
plain and desirable remedy to this legal and substantive morass is a fresh Congressional mandate. I urge
the Congress to provide straightforwardly the authority for bank holding companies to conduct, with appropriate safeguards, the kinds of activities permitted
by the Board in its decision, the practical import of
which is confined to a relative handful of large bank
holding companies with substantial government securities operations.

4(c)(8) of the BHC Act and section 225.21(a) of the

Order, I wish to reiterate that I fully support earlier Board decisions

clearly wished to restrain or prohibit.

MHSC presently engages in securities brokerage
services throughout the United States pursuant to
section 225.25(b)(15) of Regulation Y, 12 C.F.R.
§ 225.25(b)(15), and now proposes to combine investment advice with its brokerage services for institutional customers only. 3
Applicant, with total consolidated assets of $73.8
billion, is the sixth largest commercial banking organization in the nation. 4 It operates two subsidiary
banks in New York and Delaware and engages directly
and through other subsidiaries in a broad range of
nonbanking activities.
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments on the proposal, has been duly published (52 Federal Register

and all comments received, including comments op1. An Institutional Customer is defined by Applicant to be a person
that is:
(1) a bank (acting in an individual or fiduciary capacity); a savings
and loan association; an insurance company; a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; or a
corporation, partnership, proprietorship, organization or institutional entity that regularly invests in the types of securities as to
which investment advice is given, or that regularly engages in
transactions in securities;
(2) an employee benefit plan with assets exceeding $1,000,000 or
whose investment decisions are made by a bank, insurance company or investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;
(3) a natural person whose individual net worth (or joint net worth
with his or her spouse) at the time of receipt of the investment
advice or brokerage services exceeds $1,000,000;
(4) a broker-dealer or option trader registered under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or other securities professionals; or
(5) an entity all of the equity owners of which are Institutional
Customers.

Applicant as permissible servicing activities under section 225.22 of
the Board's Regulation Y, 12 C.F.R. § 225.22.
3. In addition, MHSC underwrites and deals in securities that
national and state member banks are permitted to underwrite and deal
in under the Glass-Steagall Act, as permitted by section 225.25(b)(16)
of Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. § 225.25(b)(16)). MHSC also has previously received Board approval under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act to
underwrite and deal in, to a limited extent, certain municipal revenue
bonds (including "public ownership" industrial development bonds),
1-4 family mortgage-related securities, commercial paper and consumer-receivable-related securities, which are eligible for purchase by
member banks for their own account but not eligible for member
banks to underwrite and deal in ("ineligible securities"). MHSC may
not currently underwrite and deal in ineligible securities under the
terms of the judicial stay imposed by the U . S . Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit pending its review of the Board's Order authorizing
MHSC to engage in that activity and the moratorium contained in the
Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987. Pub. L. N o . 100-86,

posing the proposal from the Securities Industry Association ("SIA"), a national trade association of the
securities industry, in light of the public interest factors set forth in section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act. 5
Section 4(c)(8) imposes a two-step test for determining the permissibility of nonbanking activities for bank
holding companies: (1) whether the activity is closely
related to banking; and (2) whether the activity is a
"proper incident" to banking—that is, whether the
proposed activity can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public that outweigh possible
adverse effects. 12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8).
The Board has previously determined that the combined offering of investment advice with securities
execution services to institutional customers from the

Applicant has however proposed several modifications to the conduct of the proposed activities as
approved in NatWest. These modifications are:
(1) Applicant proposes to lower the test for institutional customers from the $5 million threshold approved in NatWest to $1 million;8
(2) MHSC would share customer lists with its affiliates, but not confidential information obtained from
its customers; and
(3) MHSC would have officer and director interlocks
with the parent bank holding company, Manufacturers Hanover Corporation, but not with its bank
affiliates.
In the Board's view and for the reasons set forth
below, these modifications do not alter the underlying
rationale of the Board's decision in NatWest that the
combined activities are closely related to banking or a
proper incident thereto. 9

("J.P.

Morgan").
As in NatWest, under this proposal, MHSC will not
act as principal or take a position (i.e., bear the
financial risk) in any securities it brokers or recommends. MHSC will execute a transaction only at the
direction of a customer and will not exercise discretion
with respect to any customer account. MHSC will not
execute any transaction where an affiliate exercises
investment discretion without customer authorization.
MHSC proposes to offer investment advice, as well as
to provide securities execution services, to institutional customers on an integrated basis, i.e., MHSC
will not charge an explicit fee for the investment
advice and will receive fees only for transactions
executed for customers. 7

5. The SIA has stated that it opposes the application for the reasons
stated in its earlier protest to a virtually identical proposal previously
approved by the Board. National Westminister Bank PLC, 72 FED-

Applicant proposes a $1 million threshold for its institutional customers who would be eligible to receive
the combined investment advisory and securities brokerage services. The applicants in NatWest proposed
a $5 million threshold for such institutional customers.
The Board in its NatWest Order viewed the institutional customers to be served as financially sophisticated and thus unlikely to place undue reliance on
investment advice received and better able to detect
investment advice motivated by self-interest.
Applicant notes that both it and its subsidiaries
generally employ a $1 million, rather than a $5 million,
threshold for high net worth individuals in connection
with their marketing of institutional services and
money market products. Moreover, Applicant contends that the proposed $1 million threshold is consistent with the definition of an "accredited investor"
contained in Regulation D promulgated by the SEC

ERAL RESERVE B U L L E T I N 5 8 4 ( 1 9 8 6 ) .

6. The SIA argues that the combination of investment advice and
buying and selling securities on behalf of customers constitutes the
"public sale" of securities under the Glass-Steagall Act. The SIA also
contends that the combination gives rise to the "subtle hazards" the
Glass-Steagall Act was meant to eliminate, such as damage to the
bank's reputation and its position as an impartial provider of credit.
For the reasons noted in NatWest, and on the basis of the facts
appearing in the record, the Board concludes that the combination of
investment advice and execution services as proposed here does not
constitute a "public sale" of securities for purposes of section 20 or 32
of the Glass-Steagall Act and that the proposal is consistent with the
intent of that Act. In this regard, the Board notes that the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has recently upheld the
Board's similar determination in the virtually identical NatWest
proposal. Securities Industry Ass'n v. Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, 821 F.2d 810 (D.C. Cir. 1987).
7. In line with NatWest, Applicant has also committed that MHSC
will fully disclose its dual role as securities broker and investment




advisor to its customers. MHSC will hold itself out as a separate and
distinct corporation with its own properties, assets, liabilities, capital,
books and records. All of MHSC's notices, advice, confirmations,
correspondence and other documentation will clearly indicate
MHSC's separate identity in order to avoid any confusion between
MHSC and its bank affiliates. MHSC will specify in all customer
agreements that MHSC is solely responsible for its contractual
obligations and commitments. The Board notes that MHSC must also
advise its customers that its bank affiliates are not responsible for
MHSC's obligations. MHSC will not transmit advisory research or
recommendations to the commercial lending department of any affiliate.
8. Applicant's definition of an institutional customer is otherwise
identical to that in NatWest and J.P. Morgan.
9. The Board hereby incorporates by reference its rationale and
findings in the NatWest and J.P. Morgan Orders regarding the
consistency of the proposed activity with the closely-related and
proper incident to banking criteria of section 4(c)(8).

Federal Reserve Bulletin • December 1987

under the Securities Act of 1933 regarding private
placements of securities. 10 The SEC views such investors as being of sufficient financial sophistication to
participate in limited offerings of securities without
being furnished the detailed disclosure documents
normally required in securities offerings by the Securities Act of 1933.
Applicant further notes that a $1 million threshold
would be consistent with the requirements of the SEC
rule promulgated under the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940 with respect to clients who may enter into
performance compensation arrangements. 11 In such
arrangements, the amount of the adviser's compensation is based on a share of the client's capital appreciation or gain. The SEC has limited such arrangements to clients who have at least $500,000 under an
adviser's management or with a net worth of over $1
million on the theory that such arrangements may lead
the adviser to take undue risks with clients' funds.
Consequently, only clients who are financially experienced and able to bear the risks associated with
performance fees are permitted to enter into such
arrangements. 12 Based on these factors, Applicant
submits that individuals with a net worth in excess of
$1 million can reasonably be considered as having the
sophistication and capacity to bear the risks that are
customarily identified with institutional investors.
For these reasons and based upon these facts of
record, the Board concludes that, while Applicant's
proposal to lower the minimum net worth threshold
would result in a substantial increase in the number of
qualified customers, those customers would be of
sufficient financial sophistication such that the proposal would not be materially different from that
approved by the Board in NatWest .
Sharing Customer Lists
Applicant has proposed that MHSC exchange customer lists with its affiliates limited to the names,
addresses and telephone numbers of such customers,

10. Regulation D defines an "accredited investor" as:
(1) any bank, insurance company, investment company or employee benefit plan;
(2) any business development company;
(3) any charitable or educational institution with assets of more than
$5 million;
(4) any director, executive officer or general partner of the issuer;
(5) any person who purchases at least $150,000 of the securities
being offered, provided the purchase does not exceed 20 percent of
his net worth;
(6) any person with a net worth of more than $1 million; and
(7) any person with an annual income of more than $200,000.

and would in no instance convey confidential customer
information. The Board in NatWest determined that
the commitment of the applicants therein not to exchange customer information, including customer
lists, between the full-service brokerage subsidiary
and its affiliates would reduce the possibility that
depositors of that subsidiary's bank affiliates might be
solicited by the brokerage subsidiary for their business. The commitment would thereby mitigate the
potential for loss of depositor confidence in the event
that such depositors are furnished with poor advice.
The commitment was also designed to reduce the
possibility that personnel at the brokerage subsidiary
would recommend the purchase of securities of a
company which borrows from an affiliated bank,
thereby indirectly benefitting the bank.
Applicant contends that the exchange of customer
lists will not adversely affect the confidence of depositors in Applicant's bank affiliates since MHSC and
Applicant's lead bank, Manufacturer Hanover Trust
Company ("MHTC"), solicit the same institutional
market. Consequently, many potential institutional
customers would be solicited by both MHTC and
MHSC, even without sharing customer lists. 13
In the Board's view, Applicant's more limited commitment should be sufficient to accomplish the Board's
objective of protecting the reputation of Applicant's
bank subsidiaries from the investment recommendations of the brokerage subsidiary. The customer lists
MHSC will receive from its affiliates will not indicate
whether the customers are depositors or borrowers of
its bank affiliates or include any information regarding
extensions of credit by any affiliate. In addition, the
fact that MHSC intends to provide investment advice
to institutional customers, who are likely to be financially sophisticated and thus able to appreciate the
distinction between a bank and its other affiliates in a
holding company, will safeguard against any loss of
depositor confidence in the event that such depositors
are furnished with poor advice by another affiliate
within the bank holding company organization. 14
The Board also notes the limited amount of customer information to be exchanged, which will not
include the relationship of the customer to the bank
affiliate or any details regarding that relationship.
Accordingly, the Board has determined to permit

13. In support of its position, Applicant notes that MHSC presently
maintains a customer list on which many of the customers of its bank
affiliates are listed.
14. Moreover, as the Board previously has stated, the potential for
loss of depositor confidence is present in every situation where a bank
affiliate (or the bank itself through its trust department) provides
investment advice. See, e.g., NatWest, 72 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN a t 5 8 9 .

Applicant to exchange customer lists with its affiliates,
subject to the limitations set forth herein.
Interlocks Between the Brokerage Subsidiary and the
Parent Bank Holding Company
Applicant has proposed to have interlocking officers
and directors between MHSC and its parent holding
company, Manufacturers Hanover Corporation. 15
In the recently decided underwriting cases, including Applicant's own proposal to underwrite and deal in
ineligible securities through MHSC, 16 the Board addressed the issue of whether a securities subsidiary of
a bank holding company may have officer, director or
employee interlocks with its parent holding company.
The Board determined that a prohibition against such
interlocks was unnecessary in those cases to guard
against conflicts of interest or other adverse effects,
given the absence of such relationships with bank
affiliates and the other limitations in those cases designed to separate the bank from the securities affiliates. Applicant has committed not to have officer,
director or employee interlocks between MHSC and
its bank affiliates. This commitment, in conjunction
with the other limitations contained in this Order, will,
in the Board's view, adequately guard against conflicts
of interest such as unsound lending practices or biased
investment advice.

CONCLUSION

Based upon the foregoing and other considerations
reflected in the record, the Board has determined that
the public benefits associated with consummation of
this proposal can reasonably be expected to outweigh
possible adverse effects, and that the balance of the
public interest factors that the Board is required to
consider under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act is
favorable. Accordingly, the application is hereby approved, subject to the commitments made by Applicant and the conditions (whether explicitly stated or

15. In NatWest and J.P. Morgan, the applicants committed not to
have interlocking officers or directors among the brokerage subsidiaries and their bank affiliates. In connection with this commitment, the
Board in NatWest recognized that, as a practical matter, a bank
cannot be completely insulated from the fortunes of a nonbank
subsidiary of its holding company, since the securities markets, the
general public and the holding company itself typically look upon the
bank and its affiliate as part of a consolidated organization. However,
the Board also recognized that conducting nonbanking activities in a
separate affiliate can to some extent prevent problems associated with
the nonbanking activity from afiFecting the bank. Applicant, of course,
has proposed interlocks between MHSC and parent holding company
only, and not with any of Applicant's bank subsidiaries.

MCorp
Dallas, Texas
MCorp Financial, Inc.
Wilmington, Delaware
Order Approving Acquisition of a Data Processing
Company
MCorp, Dallas, Texas, and its wholly owned subsidiary, MCorp Financial, Inc., Wilmington, Delaware,
bank holding companies within the meaning of the
Bank Holding Company Act ("BHC Act") (12 U.S.C.
§ 1841 et seq.) (collectively referred to as "Applicant"), have applied under section 4(c)(8) of the
BHC Act (12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)) and section
225.25(b)(7) of the Board's Regulation Y (12 C.F.R.
§ 225.25(b)(7)) for Applicant's subsidiary MTech
Corp., Irving, Texas, to acquire Kalvar Corporation,
Minneapolis, Minnesota ("Company"), a company
engaged in data processing activities.
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments on the proposal, has been duly published (52 Federal Register
33,878 (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 BHC
Act.
Applicant, through its subsidiary, MTech Corp.,
seeks to acquire 100 percent of Company and engage

934

Federal Reserve Bulletin • December 1987

in data processing and computer output to microfilm
("Com") services, 1 including offering enhanced Com
services to MTech's data processing customers and
providing optical storage capability on optical digital
disks and computer assisted retrieval for data stored
on microfilm and microfiche. Applicant also proposes
to sell certain equipment and supplies necessary to
utilize the processed microfiche or microfilm, including reading machines, scanners and paper, which, at
all times, would constitute less than 30 percent of any
packaged offering. 2
Applicant maintains that the foregoing activities are
permissible under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act and
the data processing provisions of section 225.25(b)(7)
of the Board's Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. 225.25(b)(7)).
Applicant's proposal meets the terms of the expanded
data processing activities of Regulation Y as revised
by the Board in 1982, because the data to be processed
or furnished are financial, banking or economic data
and the Com services qualify as data processing and
data transmission services as those terms are used in
the Board's data processing regulation. In addition,
Applicant's proposal to engage in the sale of equipment and supplies to Com customers 3 meets the requirements of section 225.25(b)(7)(iii).4
In evaluating this application, the Board has considered the financial and managerial resources of Applicant and its subsidiaries. The Board notes that the
acquisition will be made through MTech, Applicant's
data processing subsidiary, which is in satisfactory
financial condition. The proposed acquisition is considered relatively small and should enhance MTech's
earnings. Overall, financial and managerial factors are
consistent with approval.

1. Com services involve reading computer data from magnetic tape,
disk or diskette, and through the use of software, microcomputers and
recorders transferring the data to microfilm or microfiche.
2. Applicant also proposes to provide, as an incident to the above
services, a process involving the conversion of large volumes of
banking, financial and economic data from paper onto microfilm or
microfiche, pursuant to section 225.123(e)(1) and (e)(2) of the Board's
Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. § 225.123(e)(1) and (e)(2)). The Com services
equipment would not be purchased for the purposes of marketing this
incidental service, but rather would be the minimum equipment
needed to properly perform permissible Com services.
3. Applicant has not proposed to produce or manufacture such
equipment and supplies.
4. The Board notes that, in 1975, it determined that a bank holding
company could offer Com services as a permissible data processing
activity only if the Com services were offered as an output option for
data otherwise being permissibly processed by the bank holding
company system and not as a separate line of endeavor. 12 C.F.R.
§ 225.123(e)(4). The Com services of Company are materially different
from the type of Com services which were being performed in 1975
when the Board adopted its interpretation. In light of the technological
developments in the Com industry and the Board's expansion of the
permissible data processing activities of Regulation Y in 1982, the
Board intends to revoke its 1975 Com services interpretation.
12 C.F.R. § 225.123(e)(4).




In view of the facts of record, the Board concludes
that Applicant's acquisition of Company would not
significantly affect competition in any relevant market.
Furthermore, there is no evidence in the record to
indicate that approval of this proposal would result in
undue concentration of resources, unfair competition,
conflicts of interest, unsound banking practices, or
other adverse effects on the public interest. Accordingly, the Board has determined that the balance of the
public interest factors it must consider under section
4(c)(8) of the BHC Act is favorable and consistent with
approval of the application.
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the application under section 4 of the BHC Act should be, and hereby is,
approved. The acquisition shall not occur later than
three months after the effective date of this Order,
unless the latter period is extended for good cause by
the Board or by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas,
acting pursuant to delegated authority. Applicant's
acquisition of Company is subject to all of the conditions set forth in Regulation Y, including sections
225.4(d) and 225.23(b) (12 C.F.R. §§ 225.4(d) and
225.23(b)), and to the Board's authority to require
such modifications or termination of activities of a
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.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
October 14, 1987.

Trustcorp, Inc.
Toledo, Ohio
Order Approving Application to Retain Shares of a
General Insurance Agency
Trustcorp, Inc., Toledo, Ohio, a registered bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding
Company Act ("BHC Act") (12 U.S.C. § 1841
et seq.), has applied for the Board's approval under
section 4(c)(8)(D) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1843(c)(8)(D)) and section 225.25(b)(8)(iv) of Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. § 225.25(b)(8)(iv)) to retain shares
of St. Joseph Insurance Agency, Inc., South Bend,
Indiana ("Agency"), a company that proposes to

Legal Developments

engage in general insurance agency activities in Indiana and adjacent states. These activities include all
types of credit and noncredit-related personal, commercial and casualty insurance, except life insurance.
Notice of this application, affording opportunity for
interested persons to submit comment, has been duly
published (51 Federal Register 31,665 (1987)). The
time for filing comments has expired, and the Board
has considered all comments received 1 in light of the
public interest factors set forth in section 4(c)(8) of the
BHC Act.
Applicant operates six subsidiary banks in Indiana
and is the 8th largest commercial banking organization
in that state. Applicant controls $945 million of deposits in Indiana representing 3.71 percent of the total
deposits in commercial banks in that state. Applicant
also owns banks in Ohio and Michigan, controlling
deposits representing 2.35 percent and 0.28 percent of
total deposits, respectively, in those states. 2 Applicant
engages through wholly-owned subsidiaries in various
nonbanking activities which the Board previously has
determined are permissible for bank holding companies.
Agency is a wholly owned subsidiary of St. Joseph
Bancorporation, Inc., South Bend, Indiana ("St.
Joseph"), which was acquired by Trustcorp in December 1986 pursuant to approval granted by the Federal
Reserve Bank of Cleveland. TrustCorp filed a separate
application seeking approval from the Board to retain
indirect control of Agency pursuant to section
4(c)(8)(G) of the BHC Act ("exemption G"). 3 The
Board denied that application on the grounds that a
company qualifying for exemption G rights may not
retain its grandfather status upon acquisition by another non-grandfathered bank holding company.
Trustcorp, Inc., 73 F E D E R A L R E S E R V E B U L L E T I N 827
(1987). The Board noted, however, that its determination was without prejudice to any claim that Agency
might have to more limited grandfather privileges
under exemption D. 4 Based on the unique legislative

proposal from the Independent Insurance Agents of America, Inc.;
the National Association of Casualty and Surety Agents; the National
Association of Surety Bond Producers; the National Association of
Life Underwriters; and the National Association of Professional
Insurance Agents ("Protestants").
2. State deposit data are as of March 31, 1987.
3. Exemption G is the broadest exception to the insurance agency
and underwriting prohibitions of the Garn-St Germain Depository
Institutions Act ("Garn Act") in that it potentially allows a qualifying
company to sell any type of insurance anywhere in the country.
12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)(G).
4. Exemption D of the Garn Act provides exception for "any
insurance activity which was engaged in by the bank holding company
or any of its subsidiaries on May 1, 1982." 12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)(D).
Such activities may be conducted in the grandfathered company's
home state, states adjacent thereto or any state where the company

history and limited scope of that provision, the Board
previously has determined that exemption D rights do
not expire following the purchase of a grandfathered
company by another banking firm.5 Trustcorp thereafter submitted this application under section 4(c)(8)(D)
of the BHC Act for approval to retain Agency's
general insurance activities.
Trustcorp claims that Agency was engaged lawfully
in general insurance activities on May 1, 1982, the
grandfather date under exemption D, that Agency did
not thereafter abandon its insurance operations, and
that Agency therefore may retain its exemption D
rights after its acquisition by Trustcorp. Protestants
argue to the contrary that Agency forfeited its grandfather status in June 1982 when it sold substantially all
of its assets to another local insurance firm, and that
Agency consequently has no exemption D rights to
preserve.
Based on the record of this case, the Board believes
that Agency qualified for exemption D grandfather
rights on May 1, 1982 and did not thereafter abandon
its authorization under the BHC Act to conduct insurance agency activities. In accordance with Board
precedent, Agency may continue to conduct its general insurance operations in Indiana and adjacent
states following the proposed acquisition pursuant to
exemption D.
The record in this case shows that Agency qualified
initially for exemption D grandfather privileges.
Agency was established in 1914 and commenced operations selling homeowners and automobile insurance. In 1961, Agency received Board approval to
conduct a general insurance business, including all
types of credit and noncredit-related personal, commercial and casualty insurance (except life insurance).
47 F E D E R A L R E S E R V E B U L L E T I N 290 (1961). The
Board notes that Agency still was conducting these
activities throughout Indiana on May 1, 1982, and
therefore was engaged lawfully in insurance activities
on the applicable grandfather date.
In the years following, moreover, Agency effectively preserved its exemption D grandfather status.
Despite its sale of assets in June 1982, there is no
evidence in the record to suggest that Agency abandoned its authorization under the BHC Act to conduct

was authorized to operate an insurance business before the grandfather date.
On October 3, 1986, the Board amended Regulation Y to include the
insurance agency activities delineated in the seven exemptions to the
Garn Act among the list of activities that the Board has found to be
closely related to banking and permissible within the meaning of
section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act. 51 Federal Register 36,201 (1986),

general insurance activities. On the contrary, in connection with this sale, Agency and the purchasing firm
entered a five-year referral/noncompetition agreement, the terms of which show that Agency fully
intended to preserve its insurance agency authority. In
essence, the agreement permitted Agency to continue
soliciting insurance business, but required it to refer all
customers to the other agency for a stated fee. During
this time, moreover, Agency maintained its status as a
corporation in good standing as well as its license to
conduct a general insurance agency business in Indiana. Agency also retained officers and directors,
rented office space, hired part-time consultants and
provided periodic financial reports.
On the basis of these facts, the Board concludes that
Agency qualifies for grandfather privileges under exemption D.
The Board previously has determined that any company entitled to engage in insurance agency activities
under exemption D does not lose those rights upon its
acquisition by another non-grandfathered banking
firm, provided that the grandfathered entity retains it
separate corporate structure and its insurance activities are not conducted by other companies within the
acquiring banking organization. 6 In keeping with this
precedent, the Board observes that upon its acquisition by Trustcorp, St. Joseph was retained as a separate bank holding company, and Agency as a separate
nonbank subsidiary thereof. As a consequence,
Agency's grandfathered insurance activities would be
wholly self-contained and isolated from the operations
of other Trustcorp subsidiaries. The Board, therefore,
concludes that Agency may retain its exemption D
grandfather privileges even after its purchase by another non-grandfathered banking firm.
Under the terms of section 4(c)(8)(D), however,
Agency may conduct grandfathered insurance activities only in St. Joseph's home state of Indiana, states
adjacent thereto, or states in which it lawfully engaged
in insurance activities on May 1, 1982. 12 U.S.C.
§ 1843(c)(8)(D). Because Agency has confined its
grandfathered insurance activities to the State of Indiana and has never received approval to conduct insurance operations in any other state, the Board notes
that Agency may continue to engage in general insurance activities only in Indiana and adjacent states.
In considering any application under section 4(c)(8)
of the BHC Act, the Board must determine whether
the proposed activity is a proper incident to banking;
that is, whether performance of the activity can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public

that outweigh possible adverse effects. As a result of
Trustcorp's proposal, consumers in Indiana and adjacent states would benefit from ongoing access to
Agency as a source of insurance products and services. The continuation of grandfathered operations
by Agency thus would serve to maintain existing
business relationships and expectations, and also
would preserve Agency as a viable competitor in the
insurance agency industry. Conversely, there is no
evidence to suggest that Trustcorp's proposal would
result in undue concentration of resources, unfair or
decreased competition, conflicts of interest or other
adverse effects. The balance of public interest factors
therefore weighs in favor of Trustcorp's ability to
retain indirect control of a company such as Agency
that engages in exemption D grandfathered insurance
activities.
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, 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 provided that the insurance activities are conducted solely by Agency, which must
remain an independent subsidiary of Trustcorp. It is
also subject to the Board's authority to require such
modifications 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.

ORDERS ISSUED UNDER SECTIONS 3 AND 4 OF
THE BANK HOLDING COMPANY
ACT

One National Bancshares, Inc.
North Little Rock, Arkansas
Order Approving Formation of a Bank Holding
Company and Acquisition of a Nonbanking
Company
One National Bancshares, Inc., North Little Rock,
Arkansas, has applied for the Board's approval under
section 3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act of

Legal Developments

1956, as amended ("BHC Act") (12 U.S.C.
§ 1842(a)(1)), to become a bank holding company
through the consolidation of Hunt and Howell Bancshares, Inc., Fayetteville, Arkansas ("Hunt and
Howell"), and First American Bancshares, Inc.,
North Little Rock, Arkansas ("First American"), and
thereby to indirectly acquire the following bank subsidiaries: First National Bank of Fayetteville, Fayetteville, Arkansas; One National Bank of North Little
Rock, North Little Rock, Arkansas; One National
Bank of Little Rock, Little Rock, Arkansas; and One
National Bank of Hot Springs, Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Applicant has also applied under section 4(c)(8) of the
BHC Act (12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)) and section
225.23(a)(2) of Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. § 225.23(a)(2))
to acquire First American's nonbanking subsidiary,
First American Life Insurance Company, North Little
Rock, Arkansas, and thereby engage in the issuance of
credit-related life and disability insurance. These activities have been previously determined by the Board
to be closely related to banking pursuant to section
4(c)(8)(A) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)(A))
and section 225.25(b)(8) of the Board's Regulation Y
(12 C.F.R. § 225.25(b)(8)).
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
published (52 Federal Register 29,066 (1987)). The
time for filing comments has expired, and the Board
has considered the application and all comments received, including comments submitted by the Little
Rock Community Reinvestment Alliance ("Protestant"), in light of the factors set forth in sections
3(c) and 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act.
Applicant is a nonoperating company with no subsidiaries, formed for the purpose of acquiring Hunt
and Howell and First American. Currently, Applicant,
Hunt and Howell, and First American are controlled
by the same individuals, with the proposed transactions representing a reorganization of existing ownership interests. The Hunt and Howell/First American
banking chain is the sixth largest commercial banking
organization in Arkansas, with total deposits of approximately $493.5 million, representing approximately 3.1 percent of total deposits in commercial
banks in the state. 1 Based on all the facts of record, the
Board believes that consummation of the proposal
would have no significantly adverse effect on the
concentration of banking resources in the state.
The Board has considered the effects of the proposal
upon competition in the relevant banking markets.
Hunt and Howell and First American do not operate in
the same banking market, and are controlled by the

same individuals.2 Based on the facts of this case,
consummation of this proposal would not result in any
adverse effect upon existing or future competition or
increase the concentration of banking resources in any
relevant banking market. Accordingly, the Board concludes that competitive factors are consistent with
approval.
The financial and managerial resources of Applicant
and the banks to be acquired are considered satisfactory and consistent with approval. In considering the
convenience and needs of the communities to be
served, the Board has also taken into account Applicant's record under the Community Reinvestment Act
(12 U.S.C. § 2901 et seq.) ("CRA"). 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. The
Board has received comments from Protestant, which
represents low-income and minority groups and individuals in Little Rock. Protestant contends that One
National Bank of North Little Rock ("Bank") has
failed to serve the convenience and needs of lowincome and minority persons in the Little Rock area. 3
The Board has carefully reviewed Bank's record in
meeting the convenience and needs of all segments of
its community. The Board notes that all of the banks to
be acquired by Applicant, including Bank, have received satisfactory CRA ratings at the most recent
examinations.
Applicant acquired control of First American and
Bank in October 1986, after the date of Bank's last
examination, and replaced the prior management of

One National Bank of North Little Rock and One National Bank of

County, Arkansas. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
("OCC") has approved the merger of these two banks.
One National Bank of Hot Springs operates in the Garland County
banking market, which is approximated by Garland County, Arkansas.
3. Protestant asserts that the Board should not approve this application unless Bank provides below market financing and other favorable terms for mortgages and commercial loans for residents and
businesses in the low- and moderate- income areas; establishes a
Community Development Corporation to assist residents in the target
areas in meeting residential and community needs; markets homeimprovement and housing rehabilitation loans in designated areas;
establishes a CRA Advisory Board to review loan denials and withdrawals; increases advertising and marketing in targeted areas; provides loans to non-profit entities; and establishes lifeline services. As
part of the proposal, Protestant requests that Bank commit to provide
$9 million in loans, $600 thousand in lines of credit for organizations to
be designated by Protestant, and $130 thousand in grants or matching
funds to Protestant or its affiliates.

Bank. At that time, Bank was in less than satisfactory
financial condition. In the year since it gained control
of Bank, Applicant has devoted most of its resources
to improving the financial condition of Bank, and has
achieved significant improvement in the asset quality
and earnings of Bank. Applicant expects that the new
management, which has a satisfactory CRA record in
its other banks, will also improve the CRA performance of Bank. In this regard, Applicant has provided
the following commitments to the Board:
1. Creation of Mortgage Loan Department. Within
six months, Bank will open a full-service residential
mortgage lending department. The manager of this
department will develop a written plan to market
real estate loans throughout the delineated community, specifically addressing low- and moderateincome neighborhoods. Bank will solicit comments
from community leaders in low- and moderateincome areas of Little Rock and North Little Rock
in formulating its plan.
2. Lending. Consistent with safe and sound banking
practices, Bank will fund all FHA, VA and conventional real estate loans and small business loans in
low- and moderate-income areas that meet Bank's
underwriting standards.
3. Community Outreach Program. Within three
months, Bank will initiate a comprehensive community outreach program designed to educate the banking public in low- and moderate-income areas on
loan application preparation and loan terms and
availability, especially as these relate to subparagraphs (1) and (2) above.
4. Community Service Officer. A Community Service Officer will be designated by the president of
Bank. The Community Service Officer will be properly trained to manage the Community Outreach
Program within the three months allowed for its
establishment. The Community Service Officer will
serve as a point of contact for community groups,
and will monitor the Bank's CRA compliance as
well as the commitments contained herein and will
report directly to the president of Bank on CRArelated matters.
5. Responsiveness to the Community. In addition to
Bank's ongoing assessment of the credit needs of
the community as required by current regulations,
Bank will initiate quarterly meetings with community leaders from low- and moderate-income neighborhoods of Little Rock and North Little Rock, to
receive recommendations concerning the credit
needs of the delineated community, including lowand moderate-income neighborhoods.
In this regard, Applicant has committed to provide
the Reserve Bank with semi-annual reports concerning



Bank's progress in implementing its commitments to
the Board concerning Bank's CRA programs.
In accordance with the Board's practice and procedure for handling protested applications, 4 the Board
reviewed the allegations made by the Protestant and
Applicant's response. Bank has met privately with the
Protestant and has made a number of commitments
designed to tailor its services more closely to the
convenience and needs of its community.
The Board notes that this application involves a
restructuring of existing ownership interests for the
apparent purpose of enabling Applicant to further
expand its banking operations. Any such expansion
will require an application to the Board. At such time,
the Board will carefully scrutinize such an application
to determine whether Applicant has made substantial
measurable progress in fulfilling the commitments it
has made to the Board to improve its service to the
convenience and needs of its community.
Based on all the facts of record and after taking into
account Bank's commitments to enhance its 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.5
As indicated earlier, Applicant also has applied,
pursuant to section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1843(c)(8)) to engage in the issuance of credit life and
disability insurance through First American Life Insurance Company ("Company"). These activities
have been previously determined by the Board to be
closely related to banking pursuant to section
4(c)(8)(A) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)(A))
and section 225.25(b)(8) of the Board's Regulation Y
(12 C.F.R. § 225.25(b)(8)). Because Applicant does
not currently engage in this activity, the Board concludes that the proposal would not have any significant
adverse effect on existing or probable future competition in any relevant market.

4. See 12 C.F.R. § 262.25(c).
5. Protestant has also requested that the Board order a public
hearing to receive public testimony on the issues presented by the
application. Although section 3(b) of the BHC Act does not require a
public meeting or formal hearing in this instance, the Board may, in
any case, order a public meeting or formal hearing. See 12 C.F.R.
§ 262.3(e). The Board's Rules of Procedure also provide that a public
meeting may be held to clarify factual issues related to an application
or to provide an opportunity for interested persons to testify.
12 C.F.R. § 262.25(d). Protestant does not present any material
questions of fact that are in dispute. In accordance with the Board's
guidelines, Applicant and Protestant have met privately to discuss this
application and have exchanged extensive correspondence. Based on
these facts, the Board has determined that a public hearing or an
informal public meeting is not necessary to clarify the record in this
case and would serve no useful purpose. Accordingly, Protestant's
request for a public hearing or public meeting is hereby denied.

Legal Developments

There is no evidence in the record to indicate that
approval of this proposal would result in decreased
competition in other areas or in undue concentration
of resources, unfair competition, conflicts of interests,
unsound banking practices, and other adverse effects
on the public interest. Accordingly, the Board has
determined that the balance of public interest factors it
must consider under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act is
favorable and consistent with approval of the application.
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the applications should be,
and hereby are, approved. The acquisition of banks in
this case shall not be consummated before the thirtieth
calendar day following the effective date of this Order,
and the entire transaction shall be consummated no
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 St.
Louis, acting pursuant to delegated authority. The
determination as to Applicant's nonbanking activities
are subject to all of the conditions contained in Regulation Y, including those in sections 225.4(d) and
225.3(b) (12 C.F.R. §§ 225.4(d) and 225.23(b)(3)), and
to the Board's authority to require such modification
or termination of the activities of a 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.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
October 26, 1987.

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 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." 5 In this case, Company controls banks in two states: Tennessee and
Kentucky. The Tennessee Regional Reciprocal Banking Act (the "Tennessee Act") authorizes a "regional
bank holding company" to acquire a Tennessee bank
or bank holding company under certain conditions. 6 A
"regional bank holding company" is defined by the
Tennessee Act as a bank holding company that has its
principal place of business in a state within a specified
region, and that controls banks within the region that
account for more than 80 percent of the total deposits
held by all of its bank subsidiaries (the "80 percent
deposit test"). Applicant is a bank holding company
with its principal place of business in Virginia, a state
within the Tennessee Act's region. Applicant, however, does not meet the 80 percent deposit test until
after the proposed acquisition.
Tennessee's Commissioner of Financial Institutions
has issued an interpretation of the Tennessee Act
which states that the 80 percent deposit test is to be
applied as of the moment the acquisition is consumated, rather than immediately prior to the acquisition.
Further, the Tennessee Commissioner has informed
the Board that Applicant's proposals to acquire Company and Bank are permissible under the Tennessee
Act, and accordingly, the Commissioner has no objection to the proposals.
Kentucky law authorizes a bank holding company
having its principal place of business in any state to
acquire a Kentucky bank if that state allows a Kentucky bank holding company to acquire a bank in that
state. 7 The Kentucky Commissioner of Banking has
informed the Board that Applicant's proposal to acquire Planters Bank and Trust Company, Hopkinsville, Kentucky, appears permissible under Kentucky
law, and accordingly, the Kentucky Commissioner has
no objection to the proposal. Based on the foregoing
factors and its own review of the record, the Board has

determined that the proposed interstate acquisitions
are specifically authorized by the statute laws of
Tennessee and Kentucky and thus Board approval is
not prohibited by the Douglas Amendment.
The Board has considered the effects of the proposal
upon competition in the relevant banking markets.
Applicant and Company compete in the Bristol-Kingsport market. 8 Applicant is the fifth largest commercial
banking organization in the market with deposits of
approximately $108.1 million, representing approximately 9.6 percent of the total deposits in commercial
banking, organizations in the market. 9 Company is the
eighth largest commercial banking organization in the
market with deposits of approximately $52.0 million,
representing approximately 4.6 percent of total deposits in commercial banking organizations in the market.
Upon consummation of Applicant's acquisition of
Company, Applicant will become the second largest
commercial banking organization in the market with
deposits of approximately $160.1 million, representing
approximately 14.3 percent of the total deposits in
commercial banking organizations in the market. The
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index would increase by 89
points to 1622, remaining moderately concentrated. In
view of the market shares involved and the small
increase in concentration in the market, consummation of Applicant's acquisition of Company would not
have a substantial adverse effect in the Bristol-Kingsport market. 10
The Board also has considered the effects of the
proposed acquisition on probable future competition
in markets in which Applicant and Company do not
compete. In view of the number of probable future
entrants into those markets, the Board concludes that
consummation of this proposal would not have a
significant adverse effect on probable future competition in any relevant banking market.
The financial and managerial resources of Applicant, Company, and Bank are satisfactory. In considering the convenience and needs of the communities to
be served, the Board has taken into account the
records of Applicant and Company under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"), 12 U.S.C. § 2901
et seq.11 The Board has received comments from an

10. Because Applicant and Company do not operate a banking

11. The CRA requires the Board, in its evaluation of a bank holding
company application, to assess the record of an applicant in meeting

operation.

individual regarding the record of one of Applicant's
subsidiary banks. In an attempt to resolve the concerns raised by the protest, representatives of the bank
involved have met and are continuing to meet with the
individual regarding the matter raised by the protest.
Applicant also has taken steps to increase the awareness of the CRA of the officers of the bank, and will
follow this with continuing officer training programs.
The Board has reviewed the record of Applicant in
serving the credit and deposit needs of the communities to be served. The Board notes that the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") has expressed certain concerns regarding the CRA record of
Applicant's lead bank, Sovran Bank, N.A., Richmond, Virginia. In response, the bank has submitted a
plan to the OCC describing specific corrective actions
to be taken to strengthen its performance, and has
provided the OCC with an update on the bank's CRA
activity designed to better document current performance. The OCC has indicated that it is satisfied with
the bank's response. Further, the primary regulators
of Applicant's remaining bank subsidiaries and of
Company and its subsidiaries have determined that the
CRA performance of these institutions is satisfactory
or better. Based on the foregoing factors and all the
facts of record, the Board concludes that convenience
and needs considerations are consistent with approval.
As indicated earlier, Applicant also has applied,
pursuant to section 4(c)(8), to acquire certain nonbanking subsidiaries of Company. Applicant operates
subsidiaries which originate residential first mortgage
loans that compete with Company's subsidiaries in
such activity in the Nashville market. 12 In view of the
numerous existing and potential competitors in the
market and de minimis market shares involved, the
Board concludes that the proposal would not have any
significant adverse effect on existing or probable future
competition in this market.
There is no evidence in the record to indicate that
approval of this proposal would result in decreased
competition in any other market or undue concentration of resources, unfair competition, conflicts of
interests, unsound banking practices, or other adverse
effects on the public interest. Accordingly, the Board
has determined that the balance of public interest
factors it must consider under section 4(c)(8) of the
Act is favorable and consistent with approval of the
applications to acquire Company's nonbanking subsidiaries and activities.
The Board also has considered the notice of Applicant's proposed investment in Commerce Trading

on the facts of record, the Board has determined that
disapproval of the proposed investment is not warranted.
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the applications should be,
and hereby are, approved. The acquisitions shall not
be consummated before the thirtieth calendar day
following the effective date of this Order, or 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 Richmond,
acting pursuant to delegated authority. The determinations as to Applicant's nonbanking activities are
subject to all of the conditions contained in Regulation
Y, including those in sections 225.4(d) and 225.23(bX3)
(12 C.F.R. §§ 225.4(d) and 225.23(b)(3)), and to the

termination of the activities of a holding company or
any of its subsidiaries as the Board finds necessary to

U.S. Bancorp
Portland, Oregon
Order Approving Acquisition of a Bank Holding
Company
U.S. Bancorp, Portland, Oregon, 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 under section 3 of the
Act (12 U.S.C. § 1842) to acquire Peoples Ban Corporation, Seattle, Washington ("Peoples"), and thereby
indirectly to acquire its subsidiary bank, Peoples National Bank of Washington, Seattle, Washington.
Applicant also has applied under section 4(c)(8)
of the Act (12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)) and section
225.23(a)(2) of Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. § 225.23(a)(2))
to acquire the nonbanking subsidiaries of Peoples.
These subsidiaries include the following: Peoples Discount Brokerage Company, Seattle, Washington, and
thereby engage in discount brokerage activities; Peoples Insurance, Inc., Seattle, Washington, and thereby
engage in the sale of property, casualty, and credit life

942

and disability insurance by the bank holding company;
Peoples Services Corporation, Seattle, Washington,
and thereby engage in escrow company activities; and
Peoples Computer Services, Inc., Seattle, Washington, and thereby engage in data processing activities.
These activities are authorized for bank holding companies pursuant to the Board's Regulation Y,
12 C.F.R. §§ 225.25(b)(3), (7), (8)(iv) and (15).
Notice of the applications, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
published (52 Federal Register 24,343 (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 sections 3(c)
and 4(c)(8) of the Act.
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 a 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." 1 Applicant's home
state is Oregon. The Board has previously determined
that Washington's interstate banking statute expressly
authorizes an Oregon bank holding company, such as
Applicant, to acquire a Washington bank holding
company, such as Peoples. Accordingly, approval of
Applicant's proposal to acquire Peoples is not barred
by the Douglas Amendment.
Applicant is the largest commercial banking organization in Oregon, with deposits in Oregon of approximately $5.7 billion, representing approximately 39.5
percent of the total deposits in commercial banks in
that state. 2 Applicant is also the sixth largest commercial banking organization in Washington, controlling
deposits of $1.5 billion, representing 6.0 percent of
commercial bank deposits in the state. Peoples is the
fourth largest banking organization in Washington
with deposits of $2.1 billion, representing 8.2 percent
of the deposits in commercial banks in the state.
Upon consummation of the proposed transaction,
Applicant will become the third largest banking organization in Washington, with total deposits of $3.6
billion, representing approximately 14.2 percent of
total deposits in commercial banks in the state. Consummation of this proposal would not have any signif-

icant adverse effect on the concentration of banking
resources in Washington.
Applicant and Peoples compete directly in the Seattle, Portland, Yakima, Tri-Cities and Moses LakeOthello banking markets. In the Seattle 3 and Portland 4
markets, consummation of the proposal would result
in an increase of less than 50 points in the HerfindahlHirschman Index ("HHI") and numerous competitors
would remain in each market. 5 Accordingly, consummation of the proposal would not have a significant
effect on competition in either market.
In the Tri-Cities banking market, 6 Applicant is the
third largest of seven commercial banking organizations, controlling $86 million in deposits, which represents 16.9 percent of total deposits in commercial
banks in the market. Peoples is the fourth largest
commercial banking organization in the market, controlling $78 million in deposits, which represents 15.0
percent of total deposits in commercial banks in that
market. The Tri-Cities banking market is highly concentrated with the four largest commercial banks
controlling 87.8 percent of deposits in that market.
Following acquisition of Peoples, Applicant would
become the largest commercial banking organization
in the market, controlling 31.9 percent of the deposits
in commercial banks in the market. The four-firm
concentration ratio would increase by 4.5 percentage
points to 92.3 and the HHI for the market would
increase by 508 points to 2777.
In the Yakima County banking market, 7 Applicant is
the fifth largest of eight commercial banking organizations, controlling $48 million in deposits, which represents 6.6 percent of the deposits in commercial banks
in the market. Peoples is the third largest commercial
banking organization in the market, controlling $136
million in deposits, which represents 18.6 percent of
total deposits in commercial banks in the market. The
Yakima County market is concentrated with a four-

over 1800 is considered concentrated. In such markets, the Department is likely to challenge a merger that increases the HHI by more
than 50 points. The Department has informed the Board that a bank
merger or acquisition generally will not be challenged (in the absence
of other factors indicating anticompetitive effects) unless the postmerger HHI is at least 1800 and the merger increases the HHI by at
least 200 points. The Justice Department has stated that the higher
than normal HHI thresholds for screening bank mergers for anticompetitive effects implicitly recognizes the competitive effect of limited
purpose lenders and other non-depository financial entities.

firm concentration ratio of 81.6 percent. Upon consummation of this proposal, Applicant would become
the second largest commercial banking organization in
the market, controlling $184 million in deposits, representing 25.2 percent of the market share. The fourfirm concentration ratio in the market would increase
to 88.2 percent, and the HHI would increase by 246
points to 2047.
In the Moses Lake-Othello banking market, 8 Applicant is the smallest of the six commercial banking
organizations in the market, with total deposits of
$15.2 million, representing 5.8 percent of the deposits
in commercial banks in the market. 9 Company is the
largest commercial banking organization in the market, with deposits of $81.2 million, representing 31.2
percent of the deposits in commercial banks in the
market. After consummation of the proposal, Applicant's share of the deposits in commercial banks in the
market would be 37.0 percent. The Moses LakeOthello banking market is considered highly concentrated with a four-firm concentration ratio of 86.9
percent which, upon consummation, would increase to
92.7 percent. The HHI would increase by 363 points to
2511.
Although consummation of this proposal would
eliminate some existing competition between Applicant and Peoples in the Yakima County, Tri-Cities and
Moses Lake-Othello banking markets, numerous other
commercial banking organizations would continue to
operate in each market after consummation of the
proposal. In addition, the Board has considered the
presence of thrift institutions in these banking markets
in its analysis of this proposal. These institutions
account for a significant percentage of the total deposits in each of the markets. The Board previously has
indicated that thrift institutions have become, or have
the potential to become, major competitors of commercial banks. 10 Thrift institutions already exert a
considerable competitive influence in the market as
providers of NOW accounts and consumer loans, and
many are engaged in the business of making commercial loans. Based upon the number, size, market
shares and commercial lending activities of thrift institutions in their markets, the Board has concluded that
thrift institutions exert a significant competitive influ-

ence that mitigates the anticompetitive effects of this
proposal in the Yakima, Tri-Cities and Moses LakeOthello banking markets. 11
On the basis of the above facts and other facts of
record, the Board concludes that consummation of
Applicant's proposal would not have a significantly
adverse effect on existing competition in any relevant
market.
The financial and managerial resources of Applicant
and Peoples as well as their bank subsidiaries are
consistent with approval.
In considering the convenience and needs of the
communities to be served, the Board has taken into
account the records of the subsidiary banks of Applicant and Peoples under the Community Reinvestment
Act ("CRA"), 12 U.S.C. § 2901 et seq.12 The Board
has received comments regarding the CRA record of
Peoples National Bank of Washington ("PNB") from
the South End Seattle Community Organization
("SESCO") and the Yakima County Community Reinvestment Committee ("Yakima Committee"). The
protestants generally allege PNB has failed to meet the
credit needs of the low- and moderate-income areas of
Seattle and Yakima. In addition, one of the protestants
alleges that PNB does not meet the credit needs of
minority areas in the community it serves. Further, the
protestants allege that PNB is not making special
efforts, such as communication, marketing, or special
programs, to ascertain or to meet the credit needs of
its community.
In accordance with the Board's practice and procedures for handling protested applications, 13 the Board
reviewed the protestants' allegations and Applicant's
response to the allegations. In an attempt to resolve
the concerns raised by the protests, Applicant and
PNB have met with SESCO and the Yakima Committee on several occasions to discuss the issues raised by

11. The following data indicate the market share and the change in
the HHI if 50 percent of the deposits controlled by thrift institutions
were included in the calculation of market concentration:
In the Yakima County market, Applicant and Peoples would control
5.0 percent and 14.1 percent of total market deposits, respectively.
The HHI would increase by 140 points to 1329 upon consummation of
the proposal.
In the Tri-Cities banking market, Applicant and Peoples would
control 12.4 percent and 11.3 percent of total market deposits,
respectively. The HHI would increase by 280 points to 1662 upon
consummation of the proposal.
In the Moses Lake-Othello banking market, Applicant and Peoples
would control 5.0 percent and 26.9 percent of total market deposits,
respectively. The HHI would increase by 269 points to 1930 upon
consummation of the proposal.
12. The CRA requires the Board, in its evaluation of a bank holding
company application, to take into account the record of the applicant's subsidiary banks in meeting the credit needs of the entire
community, including the low- and moderate-income neighborhoods,
as reflected in the examinations by the bank's primary federal banking
regulator. 12 U.S.C. § 2903.

the protestants. The parties, however, were unable to
come to a resolution of their differences.
Initially, the Board notes that PNB as well as
Applicant's subsidiary banks have received satisfactory CRA assessments from their primary supervisory
agencies. Furthermore, Applicant has adopted an extensive plan to enhance PNB's service to its communities. Applicant has indicated that it will adopt the
following measures:
1. PNB will conduct educational seminars in the
South End community of Seattle, to provide residents with financial counseling regarding residential
loans and small business loans, as well as promotional campaigns, to market its products, including
the use of price incentives;
2. PNB will continue to meet with community
organizations, including SESCO, to review community needs and determine appropriate courses of
action; and
3. PNB has established goals to increase residential
real estate and small business loans in the South End
community of Seattle.
Applicant has adopted a CRA plan for the Yakima
area similar to that adopted for South End:
1. PNB will increase its marketing efforts in all
segments of the Yakima market and has pledged to
continue to meet with the Yakima Committee and
other members of the community to ascertain community banking needs;
2. PNB has committed to render financial assistance
to the City of Yakima Multi-Family Rehabilitation
Program;
3. PNB will consider "sweat equity," i.e., an individual's home improvement efforts, as part of an
owner's equity contribution to the purchase of an
owner-occupied single-family residence for low- and
moderate-income households; and
4. PNB has established goals to increase residential
real estate and small business loans in Yakima
community and will continue to participate in federal, state and local programs aimed at increasing
the accessibility of credit to new or undercapitalized
small businesses.
Based on Applicant's commitments and the overall
satisfactory CRA record of PNB as well as of Applicant's existing subsidiary banks, the Board concludes
that convenience and needs considerations in this case
are consistent with approval of the applications. 14

14. The protestants requested that the Board order a public meeting. Under the Board's rules, the Board may hold a public meeting on
an application to clarify factual issues related to the application and to
provide an opportunity for testimony, if appropriate. 12 U.S.C.




As indicated above, Applicant also has applied,
pursuant to section 4(c)(8), to acquire certain nonbanking subsidiaries of Peoples. Applicant currently
operates nonbanking subsidiaries that offer services
similar to those services offered by Peoples. In view of
the small market shares of Applicant and Peoples in
those geographic areas in which they compete for
these services and the large number of competitors for
these services, the Board concludes that the proposal
would not have any significant adverse effect on
existing or probable future competition in any relevant
market.
There is no evidence in the record to indicate that
approval of this proposal would result in decreased
competition, undue concentration of resources, unfair
competition, conflicts of interests, unsound banking
practices, or other adverse effects on the public interest. Accordingly, the Board has determined that the
balance of public interest factors it must consider
under section 4(c)(8) of the Act is favorable and
consistent with approval of the applications to acquire
Peoples' nonbanking subsidiaries and activities.
Applicant has requested the Board's authorization
to retain the insurance agency activities of Peoples'
wholly owned subsidiary, Peoples Insurance, Inc.,
which currently engages in the sale of property, casualty, and credit life and disability insurance pursuant
to exemption D of the Garn-St. Germain Depository
Institutions Act of 1982 (the "Garn Act"). 1 5 Exemption D of the Garn Act permits a bank holding company to engage in "any insurance activity which was
engaged in by the bank holding company or any of its
subsidiaries on May 1, 1982."
On November 25, 1981, Peoples obtained approval
for Peoples Insurance, Inc., to engage in the sale of
property, casualty and credit life and disability insurance and was engaged in those activities on the grandfathered date, under its former name "Western States
Agencies, Inc." Accordingly, Peoples Insurance, Inc.,
is entitled to continue to sell insurance under exemption D.

73 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLE-

TIN 672 (1987), that an insurance agency which is
entitled to continue to sell insurance under exemption
D does not lose its grandfathered rights if the agency is
§ 262.25(d). In this case, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
has arranged private meetings for this purpose. Moreover, Applicant
and the protestants have exchanged extensive correspondences.
Based on this and on the other facts of record, the Board has
determined that a public meeting would serve no useful purpose.
Accordingly, the requests for public meetings are denied.
15. 12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)(D). Such activities may be conducted in
the grandfathered company's home state, states adjacent thereto or
any state where the company was authorized to operate an insurance
business before the grandfather date.

acquired by another bank holding company provided
the agency maintains its separate corporate structure
and its insurance activities are not extended to other
subsidiaries within the acquiror's banking organization. Applicant has committed that Peoples Insurance,
Inc., will remain a separate subsidiary of Peoples,
which will remain a separate bank holding company,
and its insurance activities will not be conducted by
any of Applicant's subsidiaries. Accordingly, the
Board has determined to permit Peoples Insurance,
Inc., to continue to engage in insurance activities
following its acquisition by Applicant. 16
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the applications should be,
and hereby are, approved. The acquisition of Peoples
shall not be consummated before the thirtieth calendar
day following the effective date of this Order, or later
than three months after the effective date of this

16. Pursuant to exemption D, Peoples Insurance, Inc., may sell
insurance only in the home state of Peoples under the Douglas
Amendment, and states adjacent to Washington.

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 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 plus the remaining items seasonally
adjusted as a whole.
4. Composition of the money stock measures and debt is as follows:
Ml: (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, 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 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. Growth 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), MMDAs, 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 funds.
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.

1. Excludes required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for
float.
2. Dates refer to the maintenance periods in which the vault cash can be used
to satisfy reserve requirements. Under contemporaneous reserve requirements,
maintenance periods end 30 days after the lagged computation periods in which
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
amount 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
period.
5. 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.
6. Reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks plus vault cash used to satisfy
reserve requirements less required reserves.
7. 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.
8. Before February 1984, data are prorated monthly averages of weekly
averages; beginning February 1984, data are prorated monthly averages of
biweekly averages.
NOTE. These data also appear in the Board's H.3 (502) release. For address, see

1. Adjustment credit is available on a short-term basis to help depository
institutions meet temporary needs for funds that cannot be met through reasonable alternative sources. After May 19,1986, the highest rate established for loans
to depository institutions may be charged on adjustment credit loans of unusual
size that result from a major operating problem at the borrower's facility.
Seasonal credit is available to help smaller depository institutions meet regular,
seasonal needs for funds that cannot be met through special industry lenders and
that arise from a combination of expected patterns of movement in their deposits
and loans. A temporary simplified seasonal program was established on Mar. 8,
1985, and the interest rate was a fixed rate Vl percent above the rate on adjustment
credit. The program was re-established on Feb. 18, 1986 and again on Jan. 28,
1987; the rate may be either the same as that for adjustment credit or a fixed rate
W percent higher.
2. Extended credit is available to depository institutions, where similar assistance is not reasonably available from other sources, when exceptional circumstances or practices involve only a particular institution or when an institution is
experiencing difficulties adjusting to changing market conditions over a longer
period of time.
3. For extended-credit loans outstanding more than 30 days, a flexible rate

somewhat above rates on market sources of funds ordinarily will be charged, but
in no case will the rate charged be less than the basic discount rate plus 50 basis
points. The flexible rate is re-established on the first business day of each
two-week reserve maintenance period. At the discretion of the Federal Reserve
Bank, the time period for which the basic discount rate is applied may be
shortened.
4. For earlier data, see the following publications of the Board of Governors:
Banking and Monetary Statistics, 1914-1941, and 1941-1970\ Annual Statistical
Digest, 1970-1979.
In 1980 and 1981, the Federal Reserve applied a surcharge to short-term
adjustment credit borrowings by institutions with deposits of $500 million or more
that had borrowed in successive weeks or in more than 4 weeks in a calendar
quarter. A 3 percent surcharge was in effect from Mar. 17, 1980 through May 7,
1980. There was no surcharge until Nov. 17,1980, when a 2 percent surcharge was
adopted; the surcharge was subsequently raised to 3 percent on Dec. 5,1980, and
to 4 percent on May 5, 1981. The surcharge was reduced to 3 percent effective
Sept. 22, 1981, and to 2 percent effective Oct. 12, 1981. As of Oct. 1, 1981 the
formula for applying the surcharge was changed from a calendar quarter to a
moving 13-week period. The surcharge was eliminated on Nov. 17, 1981.

All types
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.
Nonmembers 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 NOW
accounts (NOW accounts less allowable deductions); (2) net other transaction
accounts; and (3) nonpersonal time deposits or Eurocurrency liabilities starting




11/13/80
with those with the highest reserve ratio. With respect to NOW 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.

Nonborrowed reserves
Nonborrowed reserves plus extended credit
Required reserves
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 from 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 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 Board'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:
Ml: (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, MMDAs, 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.

commercial banks. Excludes the estimated amount of vault cash held by thrift
institutions to service their OCD 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 OCD liabilities.
5. Consists of NOW 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 OCD and seasonally adjusted demand
deposits. Included are all ceiling free "Super NOWs," 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), MMDAs, 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. Smnall-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.

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




1984
Dec. 2

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
150-179 days for finance paper.
5. Yields are quoted on a bank-discount basis, rather than in 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 "flower" bond.
14. General obligations based on Thursday figures; Moody'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 Moody'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 often 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. Effective July 1976, includes a new financial group, banks and insurance
companies. With this change the index includes 400 industrial stocks (formerly
425), 20 transportation (formerly 15 rail), 40 public utility (formerly 60), and 40
financial.
2. Beginning July 5, 1983, the American Stock Exchange rebased its index
effectively cutting previous readings in half.
3. Beginning July 1983, under the revised Regulation T, margin credit at
broker-dealers includes credit extended against stocks, convertible bonds, stocks
acquired through exercise of subscription rights, corporate bonds, and government securities. Separate reporting of data for margin stocks, convertible bonds,
and subscription issues was discontinued in April 1984.
4. Free credit balances are in accounts with no unfulfilled commitments to the
brokers and are subject to withdrawal by customers on demand.
5. New series beginning June 1984.
6. These regulations, adopted by the Board of Governors pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, limit the amount of credit to purchase and carry




"margin securities" (as defined in the regulations) when such credit is
collateralized by securities. Margin requirements on securities other than options
are the difference between the market value (100 percent) and the maximum loan
value of collateral as prescribed by the Board. Regulation T was adopted effective
Oct. 15, 1934; Regulation U, effective May 1,1936; Regulation G, effective Mar.
11, 1968; and Regulation X, effective Nov. 1, 1971.
On Jan. 1, 1977, the Board of Governors for the first time established in
Regulation T the initial margin required for writing options on securities, setting
it at 30 percent of the current market-value of the stock underlying the option. On
Sept. 30,1985, the Board changed the required initial margin, allowing it to be the
same as the option maintenance margin required by the appropriate exchange or
self-regulatory organization; such maintenance margin rules must be approved by
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Effective Jan. 31, 1986, the SEC
approved new maintenance margin rules, permitting margins to be the price of the
option plus 15 percent of the market value of the stock underlying the option.

MEMO

13 Treasury operating balance (level, end of
period)
14 Federal Reserve Banks
15 Tax and loan accounts

1. In accordance with the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act
of 1985, all former off-budget entries are now presented on-budget. The Federal
Financing Bank (FFB) activities are now shown as separate accounts under the
agencies that use the FFB to finance their programs. The act has also moved two
social security trust funds (Federal old-age survivors insurance and Federal
disability insurance trust funds) off-budget.
2. Includes SDRs; reserve position on the U.S. quota in the IMF; loans to
international monetary fund; other cash and monetary assets; accrued interest
payable to the public; allocations of special drawing rights; deposit funds;




miscellaneous liability (including checks outstanding) and asset accounts;
seigniorage; increment on gold; net gain/loss for U.S. currency valuation adjustment; net gain/loss for IMF valuation adjustment; and profit on the sale of gold.
Reflecting the change in Monthly Treasury Statement classification, Table 2,
monthly data as well as fiscal year data now include monetary assets other than
operating cash with "other", sources of financing, (line 12).

1. Data for dealer positions and sources of financing are obtained from reports
submitted to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York by the U.S. Treasury
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. Treasury 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
"matched book" repurchase agreements.
NOTE. Data on positions for the period May 1 to Sept. 30, 1986, are partially
estimated.

1. Consists of mortgages assumed by the Defense Department between 1957
and 1963 under family housing and homeowners assistance programs.
2. Includes participation certificates reclassified as debt beginning Oct. 1,1976.
3. Off-budget Aug. 17, 1974, through Sept. 30, 1976; on-budget thereafter.
4. Consists of debentures issued in payment of Federal Housing Administration
insurance claims. Once issued, these securities may be sold privately on the
securities market.
5. Certificates of participation issued before fiscal 1969 by the Government
National Mortgage Association acting as trustee for the Farmers Home Administration; Department of Health, Education, and Welfare; Department of Housing
and Urban Development; Small Business Administration; and the Veterans
Administration.
6. Off-budget.




n.a.

7. Includes outstanding noncontingent liabilities: notes, bonds, and debentures. Some data are estimated.
8. Before late 1981, the Association obtained financing through the Federal
Financing Bank (FFB).
9. The FFB, which began operations in 1974, is authorized to purchase or sell
obligations issued, sold, or guaranteed by other federal agencies. Since FFB
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.

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 (1) mobile homes, which
are private, domestic shipments as reported by the Manufactured Housing
Institute and seasonally adjusted by the Census Bureau, and (2) sales and prices
of existing units, which are published by the National Association of Realtors. All
back and current figures are available from the originating agency. Permit
authorizations are those reported to the Census Bureau from 16,000 jurisdictions
beginning with 1978.

1. 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 adjustment is the exclusion of military sales
(which are combined with other military transactions and reported separately in
the "service account" in table 3.10, line 6). On the import side, additions are made
for gold, ship purchases, imports of electricity from Canada, and other transac-

tions; 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.
Total exports and the trade balance reflect adjustments for undocumented exports
to Canada.

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 not 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 for "shell" branches




from $50 million to $150 million equivalent in total assets, the threshold now
applicable to all reporting branches.
3. This group comprises the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries
shown individually, other members of OPEC (Algeria, Gabon, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait,
Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates), and Bahrain and
Oman (not 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.

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.
