Glenn B. Canner, James T. Fergus, and Charles
A. Luckett, of the Board's Division of Research
and Statistics, prepared this article, with the
assistance of John P. Ferraro and Patricia A.
Boerschig. In preparing the article, the authors benefited from discussions with, and comments from, John H. Lindgren, Jr., Richard F.
DeMong, and Sandra L. Schmidt, of the Center
for Financial Services Studies, Mclntire School
of Commerce, University of Virginia. Notes appear at the end of the article.
Prominent among the many innovations in consumer lending offered by financial institutions in
recent years is the home equity line of credit, a
revolving account that allows homeowners to
borrow against the equity in their homes. Unlike
traditional second mortgages, which are extended for a specified period of time and generally require repayment of principal and interest in
equal monthly installments, home equity accounts are ongoing arrangements, often without
a fixed maturity, that allow the borrower great
flexibility in the size and timing of drawdowns
and payments. The term "home equity accounts" will be used in this article to refer
exclusively to these new lines of credit and not to
traditional second mortgages or any other type of
account.
Consumer surveys indicate that homeowners
have been acquiring and borrowing against home
equity accounts rapidly during the past two
years, and lenders have been marketing them
with increasing vigor. The proliferation of home
equity accounts has focused attention on the
risks as well as the benefits of using this type of
credit. To learn more about this new credit
instrument, the Federal Reserve Board sponsored surveys of consumers in 1987 (see appendix A). The results, along with those from several
industry-sponsored surveys of financial institutions, provide information on the features and
use of home equity accounts. In addition, the




year-end 1987 Report of Condition made comprehensive information available for the first time
about the extension of home equity credit by
commercial banks. This article uses this new
information to describe the market for home
equity accounts and relates the information to
governmental proposals to modify the terms under which such accounts are advanced.

THE GROWTH AND
OF HOME EQUITY

THE
CHARACTERISTICS
ACCOUNTS

Although some consumers reported opening
their home equity lines of credit as early as 1982,
three-fourths of all existing accounts were
opened in 1986 or 1987 (table 1). Balances owed
on home equity lines are estimated to have
doubled during 1986 to approximately $40-$45
billion. Recent information suggests that by yearend 1987, outstanding balances on home equity
accounts had risen to about $75 billion.

Reasons for Rapid Growth
The fast expansion of borrowing under home
equity plans stems from several factors, including tax revisions affecting the deductibility of
interest paid on consumer credit, finance rates

more attractive than for alternative loan products, and intensive marketing programs including
price concessions.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 mandates the
gradual removal of federal income tax deductions
currently allowed for interest paid on nonmortgage consumer credit. However, within specified
limits, such deductions would still be allowed for
interest paid on loans secured by a home. By
raising the after-tax interest cost of consumer
credit, the new tax rules encourage homeowners
to substitute home equity loans for other types of
consumer borrowing. Many creditors have prominently featured the tax advantages of home
equity loans in their marketing programs.
For the past few years, the interest rates
charged on home equity accounts have been
significantly lower than on most types of consumer credit, especially credit cards (table 2).
The relatively attractive finance rates on home
equity accounts have created an incentive for
consumers to use them both for new borrowing
and to repay debts carrying higher interest rates.
Creditors have intensively promoted home equity accounts. In 1986, for example, nearly half
of all large financial institutions spent more advertising dollars on home equity accounts than
on any other loan product.1 Moreover, creditors
have offered substantial inducements to consumers—in the form of low introductory interest
rates or discounted or rebated closing costs—to
encourage them to establish home equity accounts.
Characteristics

of Home Equity

Accounts

Amounts borrowed under home equity accounts
are secured by a lien on real estate, usually the
borrower's principal residence. Consequently,
the creditor may foreclose on the mortgage and
force a sale of the property if the debt is not
repaid as scheduled.
Other features of home equity accounts vary
among creditors. According to a survey sponsored by the Consumer Bankers Association (see
appendix B), most lenders limit the maximum
line of credit to the equivalent of 70 to 80 percent
of the homeowner's equity (the appraised value
of the property less all mortgage indebtedness);
however, some creditors allow the line to equal

100 percent of the owner's equity in the
property.2 Most creditors specify a minimum and
maximum dollar amount for the credit lines they
offer; in 1987 the average minimum credit line
was $5,000, and the average maximum was
$100,000. Nearly all lenders evaluate a consumer's ability to repay when determining the size of
the credit line they will allow; and if a family's
income or home equity increases, 90 percent of
surveyed lenders will increase the size of the
line.
Creditors offer customers a variety of ways to
draw on their lines of credit. We estimate that in
rough terms 90 percent of lenders allow access
by check, 20 percent permit telephone transfers,
13 percent provide access through automatic
teller machines, and 9 percent permit access
through credit cards. Although creditors rarely
place restrictions on the frequency with which
credit lines can be drawn down, they often
establish a minimum amount for each draw; in
1987 the typical minimum for access by check
was $300.
The finance rate assessed for balances owed on
most home equity accounts is variable (typically
monthly) and is determined by adding a fixed
margin to a specified index (table 3). About
three-fourths of creditors use a prime rate as
their selected index, most often the prime rate
published in the Wall Street Journal; an additional 17 percent use the rate on one of several
different Treasury bills; and the remainder use
other indexes, such as their average cost of funds
or the discount rate established by a Federal

Reserve Bank. Only about 4 percent of creditors
who provide home equity accounts offer such
accounts with a fixed interest rate.
Until recently, most home equity accounts
with variable rates have had no annual or lifetime
limit on adjustments to the initial interest rate.
However, the Competitive Equality Banking Act
of 1987 requires all home equity accounts established after December 9, 1987, to carry a life-ofplan interest rate ceiling; the act does not specify
any maximum or minimum for this ceiling nor
any annual restriction on changes in interest
rates. Only about 10 percent of creditors provide
annual caps on the rate. A few creditors also
establish annual or lifetime floors on the finance
rates they charge.
As noted, some creditors have offered a low
introductory interest rate to promote their home
equity accounts. After a specified period of time,
the promotional rate reverts to the interest rate
determined by the formula in the credit contract.
In the first half of 1987, about 23 percent of larger
financial institutions used such promotions.
Competition among lenders to market home
equity accounts in 1986 and 1987 caused many of
them to absorb some or all of the fees that
lenders usually charge to open credit accounts
secured by real estate. These charges include
origination fees and closing costs for items such
as the title search, property appraisal, credit
report, title insurance, and mortgage recording

fee. In 1987, 8 percent of large commercial banks
and thrift institutions charged no fees, and 68
percent promoted home equity accounts by
waiving fees or crediting them against accrued
interest.3 Low introductory interest rates and
rebating of initial fees encourage consumers to
establish home equity plans and provide incentives for borrowing right away. Fee waivers, on
the other hand, do not promote immediate use.
Some lenders assess other fees such as annual
maintenance charges (31 percent of creditors) or
transaction fees (about 1 percent of creditors). 4 A
few creditors also charge a fee when an account
is terminated or is inactive for a period of time.
Most home equity accounts specify a maximum term for repayment. The duration of such
accounts is usually about 10 to 15 years; however, nearly two-fifths of creditors offer accounts
with indefinite terms. 5 Virtually all agreements
permit repayment of outstanding balances at any
time without a penalty. Minimum payments on
outstanding balances are nearly always required,
usually monthly, but the calculation of the minimum varies widely among plans. The minimum
can be a fixed dollar amount, a specified percentage of the outstanding balance, or only the interest due on the amount owed. A minimum
monthly payment will not fully amortize the loan
by the end of the term under many plans; in such
cases the borrower faces a large end-of-term
payment ("balloon" payment). In 1987, about 40

percent of creditors offering home equity accounts allowed an interest-only monthly payment option.

ACCOUNTS

The surge of consumer borrowing through home
equity accounts is noteworthy for several reasons. First, the rapid increase in such borrowing
helps account for the sudden slowdown in the
growth of consumer installment debt that began
in late 1986 and carried through the first half of
1987. Also, a number of consumer interest organizations and some members of the Congress
have expressed concern about the suitability of
home equity loans for consumers. They have
warned borrowers to exercise caution in using
home equity accounts and have criticized certain
lender practices in connection with them. On a
broader scale, some observers have questioned
the economic effects of home equity accounts,
viewing them as an encouragement to increase
current spending at the expense of saving and as
an inducement for consumers to deplete their
housing equity instead of preserving that asset to
help finance longer-term needs such as retirement.
To obtain information about the prevalence of
home equity accounts and the ways that homeowners have been using them, the Federal Reserve Board sponsored consumer surveys in the
spring and fall of 1987. Consumers were asked
whether they were aware of home equity accounts and whether they had one or had applied
for one. Families with a home equity account
were questioned about the amount of such credit
available to them, how much of it they had used,
how frequently they had made draws, and the
purposes of the draws. This section discusses the
results of these surveys.

another 1 percent of homeowners had applied for
such an account but had not yet received approval. The American Bankers Association estimates that creditors approve roughly 75 to 85
percent of applications for home equity accounts; thus, most of these pending applications
probably were approved by the end of 1987. If
so, approximately 2.5 million to 3 million homeowners had home equity accounts at that time.
Moreover, prospects for continued growth
seemed good, since an additional 4 percent of
homeowners interviewed said they were considering applying for such an account in the next
few months.
Characteristics

of Account

Holders

As a group, families with home equity accounts
have economic and demographic characteristics
that set them apart from the average family. By
definition, home equity accounts are available
only to homeowners—about 65 percent of all
families. Furthermore, home equity account
holders typically have considerably higher incomes and have built up substantially more home
equity than homeowners without such accounts
(table 5). Families with home equity accounts
had median 1986 family incomes of $42,000,
compared with $27,000 for homeowners without
such accounts. For homeowners with home equity accounts, the median amount of home equity
was $64,000; for homeowners without such accounts, it was $46,000.
Holders of home equity accounts typically are
younger and have had more years of education
than other homeowners. According to information from the consumer surveys, the median age
of the family head was 43 years for families that
had home equity accounts, compared with 50

years for other homeowners. Heads of families
that had home equity accounts typically had
completed 14 years of education, compared with
12 years for other homeowners. In view of these
financial and personal characteristics, home equity account holders seem to be better prepared
than the average consumer to cope with the
complexity and risks of using a home equity
account.
Size of Credit

Lines

One attraction of home equity accounts is the
relatively large credit line for which many homeowners can qualify. Except for the wealthy, most
homeowners can finance major expenditures
only by borrowing against their major asset—the
accumulated equity in their homes. More than 70
percent of the accounts sampled in 1987 had a
credit line of $20,000 or more (table 6).
Home equity credit lines are large relative to
the lines ordinarily available with other types of
loans, but on the whole, consumers and creditors
have held credit lines to a rather moderate level.
The typical home equity line averaged about half
of the homeowner's equity, compared with an

Use of Home Equity

Accounts

The surveys suggest that, so far, consumers have
used their home equity accounts in a fairly conservative manner. A substantial proportion of
account holders—18 percent—had never borrowed against their credit lines (table 7, memo).
Few of the unused accounts were opened only
recently; almost all of them were at least three
months old, and almost half were at least six
months old. These account holders evidently had
established their accounts either in anticipation
of some specific use or as a standby source of
liquidity.
Account holders who had used their credit line
reported a large variety of first uses. Many of
them reported more than one use for their first
drawdown.

Federal Reserve Bulletin • June 1988

The most prevalent first use—reported by over
half of all account users—was to pay off other
indebtedness (table 7), about two-thirds of which
was credit card debt and auto loans. The substitution of home equity account balances for other
types of consumer debt generally improves a
consumer's current financial position because, at
the prevailing interest rates for home equity
accounts and most types of consumer installment
loans, it reduces borrowing costs. Use of a home
equity account also typically produces greater
tax savings and, with the exception of credit
cards and overdraft features of checking accounts, permits more flexibility in adjusting payments to match variations in income. Of course,
it is difficult to evaluate the longer-run effects
that could result if, for example, interest rates on
home equity accounts should rise sharply.
The next most frequent first use of home
equity accounts was for home improvements,
suggesting that another large share of the initial
debt substituted for unsecured home improvement loans and traditional second mortgages.
Other first uses included purchases of automobiles, payment of educational and medical expenses, business and financial investments, and
expenditures for various consumer durables. Fifty-five percent of account users drew against
their accounts only once (table 7, memo). These
borrowers established their accounts for particular purposes and have not drawn on them for
any additional borrowing.
Table 7 also shows the percent of account
users that employed home equity accounts for
specified purposes after the first time the account
had been tapped. Borrowings after the first
tended to be for purposes different from those of
the initial borrowing. For example, the proportion of users who paid off other debts in later uses
was much smaller than the proportion who paid
off debts for their first use. The most prevalent
type of later use was for home improvement,
followed closely by automobile purchases.
Information on outstanding balances also supports the view that consumers, on the whole,
have been cautious in their use of home equity
accounts. According to the 1987 consumer surveys, 28 percent of home equity account holders
had at least half of their lines of credit in use
(table 8), but an equal proportion had no out-

According to the 1987 consumer surveys, depository institutions have been the principal source

percent of such accounts were issued by commercial banks, 38 percent by thrift institutions
(savings and loan associations and savings
banks), and 12 percent by credit unions. Less
than 10 percent of the accounts were issued by
nondepository financial institutions, such as finance companies or brokerage firms.

ances outstanding on such accounts at all commercial banks began with the Report of Condition of December 31, 1987; comprehensive
information on the home equity debt outstanding
at other types of institutions is still not available.
The Report of Condition shows that home equity
account debt was outstanding at 32 percent of
commercial banks (4,322 banks out of a total of
13,604) at the end of 1987, in the amount of $30.4
billion.
The consumer surveys showed that about twofifths of all home equity accounts had been
obtained from banks. Assuming that nonbank
home equity credit lines had been drawn down to
the same extent as bank lines, two-fifths of all
home equity account debt equaled about $30
billion in late 1987, and therefore such debt from
all sources equaled about $75 billion ($30 billion
divided by 0.4) 6

The data from the Report of Condition also
indicate that participation by commercial banks
in the home equity account market increases
with the size of the bank. Less than one-fourth of
the smallest commercial banks reported any revolving loans secured by residential properties
(table 10). By contrast, more than four-fifths of
the largest commercial banks offered open-end
home equity lines of credit.
The importance of home equity account loans
relative to other types of consumer lending also



varies substantially according to bank size (table
10). For example, at the smallest institutions,
home equity account debt typically amounted to
only 4 percent of consumer debt plus home
equity account debt. By contrast, the ratio was 9
percent for banks in the largest size category, on
average, partly reflecting the greater proportion
of such banks that offer home equity accounts.
Similarly, when measured as a percentage of
consumer debt plus all loan balances secured by
residential property, home equity account balances were only 2 percent for the smallest banks
but were 6 percent for the largest banks.
A substantially different picture of small-bank
involvement in home equity accounts emerges
when banks that do not offer home equity accounts are excluded (table 11). As a group, the
smaller banks had ratios of home equity lending
to consumer and real-estate-secured lending little

different from the corresponding proportions for
the larger banks. This result suggests that, although a lower proportion of smaller banks participate in the home equity account market, those
who do so are able to generate home equity
account business in about the same proportion,
relative to other types of loans, as larger institutions.
ADVANTAGES
FOR

OF HOME

EQUITY

ACCOUNTS

LENDERS

Home equity accounts are attractive to lenders
because the accounts provide opportunities for
controlling or reducing costs and for increasing
revenues. For instance, when compared with
other types of consumer loans, particularly other
types of revolving credit, home equity accounts
carry a relatively low risk of loss from default
because outstanding balances are secured by the
borrower's home.
Lenders might achieve additional savings if the
customer could be encouraged to make draws
from a home equity line in place of a series of
closed-end junior mortgages or personal loans,
thereby avoiding the recurrent fixed costs associated with establishing successive loans. Expenses of originating a home equity line are
relatively high, but the start-up costs are often at
least partially offset by initial fees. Moreover, as
discussed below, the credit line customer tends
to be a customer of the same institution for future
borrowing needs.
Variable-rate pricing for home equity accounts
appeals to lenders because the automatic adjustment of interest rates to changes in financial
market conditions shifts at least some of the risk
of future rate movements to the borrower. Without such adjustments, lenders would bear the
entire risk of losses due to increases in their cost
of funds as well as the risk that returns on
alternative investments might increase while the
yields on home equity loans remained fixed.
Some features of home equity accounts may
help to establish a long-term relationship with the
borrower. Because of the relatively high lending
limits on home equity accounts, and lender willingness to raise limits over time, a borrower
would ordinarily want, or be able, to obtain only
one such credit arrangement. The practice of




imposing appraisal fees, loan origination fees,
and the like also fosters a long-term link between
borrower and lender by making it costly for
consumers to shift home equity accounts from
one lender to another. In the early years of home
equity accounts, virtually all lenders charged
initial fees. But in the heavily competitive market
of the past two years, many lenders have waived
or substantially reduced these fees, thereby
weakening the tie between an equity line user
and the initial supplier of credit. Still, the complexity of the application process itself, and in
some cases the charging of close-out fees, serve
as disincentives to switch lenders frequently or
for slight cause.
Home equity accounts are also desirable to
creditors because they provide opportunities to
cross-sell other products and services, such as
checking accounts, credit or debit cards, or
credit insurance. For example, roughly 60 percent of creditors offering home equity accounts
also offer credit life insurance, and nearly 30
percent of their customers purchase such insurance. To be sure, other loan products also afford
opportunities for cross-selling, but the home equity account is particularly attractive because it
delivers a higher-income, more-educated pool of
prospects. Moreover, homeowners with home
equity and family incomes typical of home equity
accounts holders are much more likely than other
homeowners to hold money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts, and trust accounts (table 12). The

long-term relationship with the borrower promised by home equity accounts should provide
numerous opportunities for the creditor to promote these ancillary services—for example,
through mailings of periodic statements. In 1987,
9 percent of larger financial institutions reported
they offered reduced fees for deposit accounts or
lower finance rates for other credit products to
customers that have home equity lines of credit.7
A final attraction of home equity accounts is
that the prospects for longer-term growth of such
accounts appear generally favorable. Substantial
latitude exists for continued substitution of home
equity accounts for consumer installment credit
and traditional second mortgages. As discussed,
only 4 or 5 percent of homeowners already have
home equity accounts. In comparison, about 62
percent of homeowners have consumer installment debt obligations. 8 About two-thirds of this
group, or two-fifths of all homeowners, had at
least $25,000 in home equity, so there is considerable room for the expansion of home equity
accounts merely as a substitute for other forms of
credit. Second, the phaseout by 1991 of tax
deductibility for interest on nonmortgage consumer loans provides an increasing incentive for
replacing other kinds of consumer loans with
home equity credit. Third, a growing proportion
of the baby boom population has reached the
stage at which increasing homeownership, growing home equity, rising needs for credit, and
relatively high income levels seem likely to favor
the growth of home equity accounts.

FOR

OF

HOME

LENDERS

From the lender's perspective, a number of actual or potential disadvantages are associated
with home equity accounts. These drawbacks
mainly involve credit standards and product
pricing.
Credit

Standards

The intensity of competition for home equity
accounts among lenders has caused some observers to question the credit standards applied
in granting such loans. For example, some lend-




369

ers have been criticized for using the less costly,
but also less thorough, "drive-by" method of
appraisal. Lenders who rely on less-rigorous
evaluations of collateral value are exposed to
greater risk of default, but the actual extent of the
problem is unknown. However, in addition to
evaluating the collateral, almost all lenders assess the borrower's ability to repay. We estimate
that 98 percent of creditors who use drive-by
appraisals also evaluate a loan applicant's debtto-income ratio. Also, some of these lenders may
be extending home equity accounts to customers
who already have a first mortgage or other accounts at the same institution. Such creditors
may be well-equipped to gauge creditworthiness
and collateral value for such applicants. Thus, in
itself, the use of drive-by appraisals does not
indicate an absence of prudent credit standards.
Credit problems with home equity accounts at
commercial banks have been fairly limited so far.
About 0.7 percent of the home equity credit lines
in use were delinquent, on average, during the
last three quarters of 1987. By comparison, delinquency rates during the same period averaged
2.33 percent for credit card plans and 1.72 percent for new-auto loans. 9 However, most home
equity accounts have been opened relatively
recently, so the delinquency experience on them
may not remain as favorable once the accounts
have aged.
Pricing

Problems

Aggressive competition among lenders for home
equity accounts—such as low interest rates and
waived or discounted fees—has attracted customers, but such competition also can impair the
profitability of the accounts. Survey evidence
indicates that some consumers establish the account but use it little or not at all. Other consumers, attracted mainly by the pricing concessions,
might close the account before interest earnings
had offset the initial costs involved or might
switch to a still more attractively priced account
at another institution.
To protect themselves against these risks, some
lenders charge a fee when an account is closed.
Other institutions gradually rebate the initial fees
against interest payments instead of absorbing all
of them when the account is established.

370

Federal Reserve Bulletin • June 1988

Another problem with the low interest rates on
home equity accounts is that the home equity
account may be used to retire higher-priced
credit, such as credit card debt, held by the same
lender. However, the effect of such developments on net earnings is not entirely clear, because lower gross revenue on the home equity
account might be matched to some extent by
reductions in costs such as bad-debt expenses.

POLICY

ISSUES

The recent proliferation of home equity accounts
has focused public attention on their risks and
benefits to consumers and stimulated debate
about appropriate public policy. One area of
concern involves the appropriateness of current
disclosure rules for home equity accounts. Under
current provisions of the Truth-in-Lending Act
and the Federal Reserve's Regulation Z, which
implements that law, home equity accounts are
treated in the same manner as other types of
open-end credit programs for purposes of disclosure and advertising. But home equity accounts
are more complex than other types of open-end
credit plans and may pose a greater risk to the
financial well-being of consumers if they fail to
understand the terms and conditions. Consequently, some have questioned whether existing
disclosure rules ensure that consumers receive
timely and adequate information about the key
characteristics of these accounts.
A second area of concern involves features in
many home equity accounts that, critics believe,
pose significant risks to borrowers or are inherently unfair and therefore should be prohibited or
severely restricted.10 One feature considered unfair allows creditors to change the terms and
conditions of the plan unilaterally. Provisions
frequently criticized as too risky for borrowers
include repayment schedules, such as interestonly payment options, that may result in balloon
payments and clauses allowing the creditor to
terminate the account and demand full payment
of the outstanding balance at any time.
Financial institutions and their trade associations have responded to some of the concerns
raised about home equity accounts. For example, in December 1986 the American Bankers




Association (ABA) issued guidelines for lenders
regarding proper advertising of home equity accounts. The ABA also has developed an educational brochure about home equity loans for
distribution to consumers. Efforts to guide lenders and educate consumers regarding home equity accounts have also been made by the Consumer Bankers Association, the Credit Union
National Association, and the U.S. League of
Savings Institutions."
The Congress and the Federal Reserve Board
have responded to the concerns raised about
home equity accounts. The Congress currently is
considering several bills that would amend the
Truth-in-Lending Act to require creditors to provide prospective loan applicants with specific
disclosures about home equity accounts. 12 These
bills also would require creditors to provide
consumers with a copy of an information brochure published by the Federal Reserve (or a
suitable substitute) that describes how home
equity accounts operate.
The Federal Reserve Board has issued proposed revisions to Regulation Z that would require home equity account creditors to provide
disclosures when they give an application form to
the consumer or before the consumer pays a
nonrefundable fee, whichever is earlier. The
Board also has proposed requiring that creditors
distribute educational brochures explaining some
of the key characteristics and potential risks
associated with home equity plans. The Board's
action reflects a view that providing enhanced
disclosures about home equity lines at an earlier
point in the credit approval process than is now
required will help consumers understand and
shop for this type of credit. Although the proposed rules would impose some additional costs
on creditors, better-informed consumers are
more likely to be cautious in their use of home
equity accounts and therefore will be less likely
to overextend themselves. Minimizing such
problems would benefit consumers and creditors
alike.
The Congress has considered other provisions
that would restrict or prohibit credit terms that
are commonly available under many home equity
plans. For example, the Congress has enacted
legislation potentially affecting the level of finance rates charged on home equity accounts.

Home Equity Lines of Credit

As already mentioned, the Competitive Equality
Banking Act of 1987 requires creditors to establish an interest rate ceiling applicable to all
adjustable-rate mortgages secured by a consumer's dwelling, including home equity accounts.
The practical effects of this rule are unclear
because creditors are free to select whatever rate
ceiling they choose. That rate, of course, would
be subject to competitive market forces and, in
some instances, to state usury laws, but would
not be limited in any way by the Competitive
Equality Banking Act.
Both S. 3456 and H.R. 3468 contain provisions
that would limit some of the credit terms currently available on home equity accounts. For
example, H.R. 3468 would require consumers to
follow a fixed payment schedule that would fully
amortize the principal and interest in connection
with each separate credit extension under a home
equity account over a specified period of time.
This provision would eliminate options for nonamortizing payment schedules, which result in
balloon payments. The bill also would limit the
size of increases in the interest rate to no more
than 2 percentage points per year and would
require that introductory or promotional interest
rates remain in effect for at least one year.
Another provision of the bill would prohibit
creditors from offering credit lines in excess of 75
percent of the equity in the home (its fair market
value less all secured debts).
Provisions such as those in H.R. 3468 that
restrict the credit terms of home equity accounts
would result in major changes in the structure of
the home equity plans offered by most-financial
institutions. For example, restrictions on repayment options, such as prohibiting interest-only
plans and requiring all advances to be repaid
under fixed amortization schedules, would reduce the flexibility now afforded borrowers. Consumers who prefer more flexible repayment options and who could use them prudently would
be inconvenienced by having to abide by more
rigid terms. Similarly, the proposed limitation of
credit lines on home equity accounts to 75 percent of equity might hamper consumers who
would like to obtain a larger credit line. Although
such consumers could seek additional credit
from other sources, the loans might bear higher
interest rates and in any case would involve the




371

inconvenience and cost associated with making
another credit application. In the absence of
evidence that such restrictions are necessary to
prevent misleading or abusive practices, the Federal Reserve Board testified before the Congress
in opposition to regulations that would place
these restrictions on home equity accounts. 13

AGGREGATE
AND

CONSUMPTION

BORROWING

Whether the availability of large equity-secured
lines of credit affects the consumption or borrowing behavior of individual households has been
an element of the public discussion of home
equity accounts. This issue has implications for
the pattern and aggregate level of economic
activity. The following discussion briefly addresses some theoretical and empirical aspects of
the interactions between home equity accounts
and aggregate consumption and borrowing behavior.
Perhaps the most widely used descriptive
model of consumer behavior is the "life-cycle"
model, which asserts that consumers plan their
spending with a view toward the earnings they
expect to achieve over their lifetimes. During the
early years of family formation, when needs are
substantial and future earnings are expected to
rise appreciably with work experience, families
might spend beyond the limits of current income
by borrowing. Later, during years of greater
earning power, families build up assets by saving
part of their income, and these accumulated
assets then finance consumption during old age
when labor income falls.
Under a life-cycle model, the willingness of a
lender to provide someone credit under a home
equity account generally would not alter that
person's pattern of consumption, because the
availability of credit would not affect a person's
income prospects or asset values. Of course, if
households in the early stage of their life cycles
were unable to consume along a preferred path
because of impediments to borrowing, development of a new source of credit could' stimulate
increased consumption in the short run. By and
large, though, it would appear that home equity
accounts do not greatly alter the liquidity con-

372

Federal Reserve Bulletin • June 1988

straints on consumption activity. Although home
equity accounts clearly have advantages in convenience and flexibility, equity-secured credit
has long been available through traditional second mortgages, at interest rates not much higher
than those on the newer, open-end instruments.
In theory, the rapid growth of borrowing
against home equity accounts could be adding to
the total stock of household debt, or it could be
substituting for other types of credit with little
effect on the aggregate borrowing by households.
An indication that debt under home equity accounts primarily has substituted for consumer
debt is provided by statistical models designed to
project the separate growth paths of consumer
and home mortgage debt. We "explained" historical patterns for each credit aggregate through
1984 (that is, before the period of rapid growth of
home equity accounts) by their correlation with
such economic variables as outlays for housing
construction, personal consumption expenditure, the proportion of spending devoted to consumer durables, mortgage interest rates, and the
like.
We then projected the historical relationships
into 1985-87 to obtain rates of credit growth that
would have been expected to prevail in the
absence of home equity accounts. The projected
growth in consumer credit was stronger than
actually occurred, and the projected growth in
mortgage debt (of which debt under home equity
accounts is a part) was weaker than actually took
place. Moreover, when the projected amounts
for mortgage and consumer credit were added
together, the growth path of this series closely
matched the path for the actual total of mortgage
and consumer debt. This result suggests that
consumers shifted from using consumer debt to a
form of mortgage debt but that they did not much
increase their total borrowing.
The purposes for which individuals say they
have used home equity accounts also suggest
that this credit instrument has proved to be more
of a substitute for traditional means of borrowing
than a supplement to them. As reported above,
the most prevalent initial use that survey respondents had'for their equity lines was to pay off
existing loans, which doesn't expand total indebtedness, and to finance home improvements,




which may primarily entail substitution of openend for closed-end second mortgage credit.

SURVEY

OF CONSUMER

ATTITUDES

To obtain information on the prevalence of home
equity accounts and their use by homeowners,
the Federal Reserve Board developed questions
that were included in the March, April, September, and October 1987 rounds of the Survey of
Consumer Attitudes, conducted by the Survey
Research Center, University of Michigan. Interviews were conducted by telephone, with telephone numbers chosen from a cluster sample of
residential numbers. The sample was chosen to
be broadly representative of the four major regions—Northeast, North Central, South, and
West—in proportion to their populations (Alaska
and Hawaii were not included). At each telephone number drawn, an adult from the family
was randomly selected as the respondent.
The survey defines the family to be any group
of persons living together who are related by
marriage, blood, or adoption, and any individual
living alone or with persons to whom the individual is not related. The head of the family is
defined as the individual living alone, the male of
a married couple, or the adult in a family with
more than one person and only one adult. Generally, when there is no married couple and more
than one adult, the head is the economically
dominant person or the one closest to age 45.
Adults are persons aged 18 years or more.
Together the surveys sampled 2,454 families,
1,746 of whom were homeowners. Overall, 96
homeowners reported having home equity accounts. The survey data have been weighted to
be representative of the population, thereby correcting for differences among families in the
probability of their being selected as survey
respondents. Estimates of population characteristics derived from samples are subject to errors
based on the degree to which the sample differs
from the general population. Table A.l indicates
the sampling errors for proportions derived from
samples of different sizes.

SURVEY

To obtain current information on developments
in the market for home equity accounts, the
Center for Financial Services Studies of the t
Mclntire School of Commerce, University of
Virginia, surveyed 1,476 financial institutions in
1987.14 The Consumer Bankers Association,
sponsor of the study, plans to repeat the survey.
Conducted by mail in June 1987, the survey
covered a stratified systematic sample of financial institutions in the United States that had
assets of at least $100 million. The groups receiving questionnaires were all commercial banks
with assets of more than $250 million (954
banks), a random sample of 411 commercial
banks drawn from the 1,645 banks in the $100
million to $250 million asset size category, and
the 111 largest thrift institutions in the United
States. From the total sample of 1,476 financial
institutions, 302 responses were received.

Statement to Congress
Statement by William Taylor, Staff Director,
Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation,
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, before the Subcommittee on General Oversight and Investigations of the Committee on
Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs, House of
Representatives, April 21, 1988.
I appreciate the opportunity to appear before this
committee on behalf of the Board of Governors
to discuss ongoing supervisory efforts to develop
a risk-based framework for assessing the capital
adequacy of commercial banking organizations.
As has been reported to this committee in the
past, the Federal Reserve, together with the
other federal banking agencies, has been working
for some time on an approach for assessing
capital adequacy that takes into account differences in risk profiles among banking organizations. Early last year, U.S. supervisory authorities issued for comment, jointly with the Bank of
England, a risk-based capital proposal applicable
to all U.S. and U.K. banking organizations.
Action on this proposal was deferred in an effort
to enlist the participation of a larger number of
countries in the development of a more broadly
based international framework.
An important measure of progress toward this
goal was achieved last December when the central bank governors from the Group of Ten
industrial countries endorsed a proposed framework developed jointly by the regulatory authorities represented on the Basle Supervisors'
Committee.1 This proposal, which supersedes
the earlier U.S.-U.K. measure, is currently being reviewed, or has been published for public

Kingdom, and the United States), Switzerland, and Luxembourg.




comment, in each of the G-10 countries. The
international framework and the implementing
guidelines being proposed by the U.S. banking
authorities incorporate many of the public comments received in response to prior risk-based
capital proposals—although we recognize that
additional comments and important issues will
have to be carefully considered and discussed
internationally before a final standard is adopted.
It is our hope and expectation that the framework, with whatever modifications and refinements are deemed necessary, will be put into
place by most or all of the major industrial
countries by the end of this year or early next
year.
The Board has long believed that capital adequacy is a particularly important factor in promoting the soundness of individual banking organizations as well as the health and stability of
the banking and financial system. For this reason
we have implemented policies and procedures
over the years—both in connection with on-site
examinations and in the review of regulatory
applications—designed to encourage institutions,
when necessary, to strengthen their capital positions. In this regard, the risk-based capital proposal represents a continuation of our ongoing
efforts to ensure that banks are adequately capitalized and that our supervisory policies are
responsive to changing practices and trends
within the banking system.
Equally important, however, is the element of
international cooperation that lies at the heart of
this proposal. Indeed, development of the riskbased framework in conjunction with central
bank and supervisory authorities from the major
industrial countries represents a significant cooperative step at the international level toward
greater harmonization of important supervisory
standards among nations with major financial
centers. This is particularly important in view of
the growing internationalization of banking and
financial markets around the world. The risk-

Statement to Congress

based capital proposal underscores the common
interests that supervisors from the leading industrial countries share in fostering a stable and
resilient international banking system and in
reducing sources of competitive inequality for
international banking organizations that stem
from differences in national supervisory requirements.
Before addressing the risk-based capital proposal and related issues in greater detail, I would
like to make some general observations about the
Federal Reserve's supervisory policies on capital
adequacy and why we believe movement to a
risk-based standard is particularly important and
timely.

BACKGROUND

As I have indicated, the Board has long viewed
adequate capital as a critical determinant of the
health of our nation's banking institutions—a
view that I know is shared by many members of
the Congress. The capital ratios of some of our
larger banking organizations declined throughout
most of the period from the early 1970s to the
early 1980s. This was due, in part, to the rapid
growth in assets, including the overseas loans of
these institutions, the effect of intensified foreign
and domestic competition on profit margins, and
the adverse impact of inflation on bank balance
sheets. These developments, together with increasing concern about the level of bank risks
both domestically and internationally, led the
Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the other
federal banking agencies, to establish formal
supervisory standards on minimum acceptable
levels of capital.
These standards, stated in terms of the ratio of
primary capital (equity plus loan-loss reserves
and mandatory convertible debt securities) to
total assets, were designed to establish a floor
below which a banking organization's capital,
under normal circumstances, would not be allowed to fall. In adopting these guidelines, the
Federal Reserve indicated that it would modify
its examination and regulatory policies to encourage organizations that did not meet the minimums to strengthen their capital bases over
time. In our view, this program achieved an




377

important measure of success—since the end of
1981, the average ratio of primary capital (net
of intangible assets) to total assets for the 50 largest U.S. banking organizations has risen from
well below 5 percent to more than 7 percent
today.
As we are all well aware, however, the difficulties and challenges facing banking organizations also increased during this period. Since the
beginning of this decade, our banking system has
been confronted with asset quality problems relating to the energy, agriculture, real estate, and
export sectors of our economy and to a deterioration in the condition of some less developed
country (LDC) borrowers. These conditions
have led to a significant increase in the number of
problem institutions and record levels of bank
failures. While all of this has been happening, the
environment in which banks operate has also
been undergoing rapid change. Banking organizations today must cope with greater volatility in
financial markets; intensified competition from
both domestic and foreign banks, as well as
nonbank financial institutions; the increasing
size, complexity, and speed of financial transactions; accelerating financial and technological
innovation; the rapid growth and widespread use
of off-balance-sheet financing techniques; and an
existing legal framework that hampers the ability
of U.S. banking organizations to compete effectively in the provision of important financial
services.
The pressures facing many banking organizations and the conditions that I have just described underscore the importance of strengthening capital ratios and suggest that the increase in
primary capital to which I have alluded does not,
by itself, give a complete picture of the capital
adequacy of our nation's commercial banking
organizations. For example, our traditional ratios
of primary capital to total assets do not take
explicit account of the growth of off-balancesheet items; nor do they recognize differences in
the level of risk among broad categories of bank
assets. Moreover, primary capital includes certain convertible debt instruments and loan-loss
reserves, whose relative roles in primary capital
have changed as a result of heavy loan-loss
provisions relating to LDC exposure and to other
asset quality problems. At the same time, there

378

Federal Reserve Bulletin • June 1988

has been a decline in stockholders' equity in
many of our larger institutions; in some cases,
ratios of common equity to total assets have
fallen below 4 percent—roughly the level at
which they stood in the late 1970s and early
1980s.
Taken together, these developments suggest
the need for a measure of capital adequacy that is
more sensitive to broad differences in the degree
of risk associated with a bank's assets, including
the existence of off-balance-sheet exposures, and
that addresses the changes that have been taking
place in the composition and quality of bank
capital.
Another major factor in the development of an
international risk-based capital framework is the
growing globalization of banking and financial
markets. Over the last decade or more, U.S.
banking organizations have increasingly found
themselves in direct competition—both in this
country and abroad—with major banking organizations from other countries. Moreover, technological advances and deregulation have resulted
in increasingly complex financial linkages and
trading relationships among the world's major
financial centers. Given these developments, we
simply cannot ignore the impact of differing
regulatory standards on U.S. banks' ability to
compete worldwide. More consistent supervisory standards among countries can contribute to
greater competitive equality and, in the long run,
to a safer and more stable international banking
system.
The Congress, too, as you are well aware,
recognized this situation in passing the International Lending Supervision Act of 1983. One of
the major goals of this legislation was to
strengthen the bank regulatory framework by
encouraging greater coordination among regulatory authorities in different countries. In this
regard, the act instructed U.S. banking authorities to work with governments, central banks,
and regulatory authorities of other major countries in an effort to maintain and, when necessary, strengthen the capital positions of banking
organizations involved in international lending.
The active role played by U.S. regulators in
formulating the international proposal represents
an important step in carrying out the congressional mandate.




RISK-BASED

CAPITAL

FRAMEWORK

I would now like to summarize the major elements of the risk-based capital proposal and
some of the issues relating to its implementation
by the Federal Reserve.
Briefly stated, the risk-based capital framework comprises the following four elements:
1. A consistent international definition of core
or common equity capital and a "menu" of
recognized noncommon equity components that,
at the discretion of the national supervisor, can
supplement the equity capital base.
2. A framework for relating capital requirements in a more systematic fashion to broad risk
considerations, including risks associated with
off-balance-sheet activities.
3. A schedule for achieving a minimum ratio of
total capital to weighted risk assets of 7.25 percent by 1990—of which at least 3.25 percentage
points should be in the form of common stockholders' equity; and 8.0 percent by 1992—of
which at least 4.0 percentage points should be in
the form of common stock.
4. Transitional arrangements designed to provide a reasonable amount of time for organizations to bring their capital positions into conformity with the risk-based framework.
Proposed guidelines for implementing this
framework for U.S. banking organizations have
been issued for public comment, and I can assure
you that the Federal Reserve will, as in the past,
carefully consider these comments before continuing our international discussions on the final
shape of the risk-based capital framework.
Time does not permit me to address the riskbased capital proposal in detail; however, there
are several important general observations that I
would like to make concerning the development
and implementation of the standard.
Perhaps more significant than any specific provision or detail of the proposal is the recognition
of the importance of international cooperation in
achieving key supervisory goals. These goals are
to encourage banking organizations, in particular
large international institutions, to strengthen
their capital positions when necessary, and to
reduce sources of competitive inequality arising
from significant differences in national supervisory requirements. We believe that the develop-

Statement to Congress

ment of the risk-based capital framework has
contributed importantly not only to the realization of these goals, but also to strengthening and
broadening the process of international cooperation itself—a point that is particularly important
in light of increasing financial volatility and the
growing internationalization of banking and financial markets.
The risk-based capital proposal is in some
respects quite complex—indeed development of
the framework required judgments and compromises on several complicated supervisory issues
and difficult decisions at the margin. Nonetheless, we believe that implementation of the riskbased capital framework will improve our existing capital policies in two important respects:
1. The framework will require that any significant credit risks associated with off-balancesheet items, including many of the more recent
and innovative financial instruments, as well as
more traditional contingencies and guarantees,
be subject to minimum capital requirements.
2. The framework removes disincentives to
holding liquid, low-risk assets by explicitly recognizing that assets such as cash, government
securities, and liquid interbank claims require
less capital support than do standard commercial
loans. This is done by assigning assets and offbalance-sheet exposures to one of five risk categories based upon broad distinctions in relative
credit riskiness. Unlike our current ratios, which
treat all assets alike, the risk-based framework
will apply lower risk weights and, therefore,
establish lower capital requirements for those
assets that involve credit risks that are less than
normal.
While reasonable people may differ on certain
details of the proposal, we believe that explicit
recognition of off-balance-sheet exposures and
differences in credit risk among major categories
of assets will give clearer and more rational
supervisory signals on the need to support risktaking with adequate capital.
The risk-based capital proposal also addresses
the composition of capital. In doing this, the
proposal emphasizes the importance of a strong
base of common stockholders' equity—requiring
that, after the transition period, at least one-half
of a bank's total capital be made up of this
component—while giving appropriate credit,




379

subject to certain limitations, for the strength
provided by other (supplementary) elements of
bank capital, such as preferred stock, subordinated debt, and loan-loss reserves. The important role played by common equity capital reflects the fact that this component is both freely
available to absorb unanticipated losses and provides maximum strength and flexibility to an
organization when it is experiencing losses or
other financial pressures.
The determination of what constitutes an "adequate" level of capital for banking organizations
is obviously a difficult judgment that requires
consideration of several complex factors. The
major function of capital, of course, is to absorb
unanticipated losses, thereby lessening the probability of bank failures and minimizing the attendant economic and social costs stemming from
bank closings. In this regard, we believe that the
equity and total capital standards incorporated in
the risk-based capital framework should be
viewed as minimums. Our experience suggests
that banking organizations should endeavor to
operate above these minimum standards if they
are to maintain a critical buffer of safety during
periods of financial strain or prolonged adversity.
Indeed, banking organizations with strong capital
bases are better positioned to withstand financial
shocks, including large losses, and, other things
equal, have more time to resolve their asset or
earnings problems than those organizations with
thin or marginal capital positions.
In general, the overwhelming majority of community and regional banking organizations will
have little difficulty meeting the standards incorporated in the risk-based capital proposal. For
those organizations that do have to raise additional capital, including some large institutions,
the transitional arrangements and phase-in period should provide a reasonable amount of time
to bring their capital bases into compliance with
the minimum risk-based standards.
Another point that I would like to address
relates to the manner in which the Federal Reserve is proposing to apply the risk-based capital
ratio. The international proposal was designed to
address the activities of international banking
organizations and those institutions engaged in
off-balance-sheet activities, although national supervisory authorities have the latitude to apply

380

Federal Reserve Bulletin • June 1988

the framework more broadly to banks under their
jurisdiction. Because the fundamental principle
of relating capital needs to risk considerations
has wide applicability, we are proposing to employ the general framework in evaluating the
capital adequacy of all U.S. banking organizations, regardless of size—although we intend to
minimize any unnecessary burden or disruption
the framework could entail, particularly for small
institutions.
In accord with reasonable and prudent transitional arrangements, we also intend to apply the
framework in analyzing the capital positions of
foreign banks seeking to make acquisitions in the
United States. This application is consistent with
our nation's policy of national treatment in that it
requires foreign banks operating in this country
to be held to essentially the same standards of
financial strength and soundness that apply to
domestic institutions.
While the risk-based capital proposal establishes a broadly consistent framework for use in
the leading industrial countries, it does not mandate rigid uniformity among countries. Instead,
the proposal provides a degree of flexibility to
national supervisory authorities to accommodate
certain differences among countries in accounting conventions, the structure and evolution of
banking and financial markets, and supervisory
techniques and methodologies. Moreover, the
proposal acknowledges that the evaluation of
capital ratios is but one step in the overall
assessment of capital adequacy. Any final judgment of an organization's capital position must
take account of many other important factors
that are not included in the risk-based capital
calculation. These factors include the level and
severity of an organization's problem assets,
liquidity, exposure to interest rate movements,
the level and trend of earnings, and the quality of
an institution's internal systems and controls.
Ultimately, of course, no single index or ratio
by itself can capture all of the critical factors that
go into the assessment of capital adequacy. We
believe, however, that by emphasizing the importance of a minimum base of equity capital and
by making the assessment of capital needs more




systematically sensitive to risk considerations,
including the risks associated with off-balance
activities, the risk-based capital framework represents a significant strengthening of our supervisory policies for assessing capital adequacy.
Certainly development of the framework underscores the critical role of capital in helping banking organizations withstand financial stress and
weather prolonged periods of economic adversity—a point that is important for both small
community or regional banking institutions as
well as large international organizations.
In a very important sense, both bank regulators and bankers themselves share a common
interest in the level of bank capital. The maintenance of strong capital positions need not be a
burden or hamper a bank's ability to compete.
Indeed banking organizations with strong core
capital positions are often effective competitors
with good earnings and sound asset portfolios.
This is not surprising since a significant commitment of resources by the shareholder-owners
gives them a particularly strong incentive to
oversee the affairs of their bank. To be sure,
strong capital positions may actually give institutions a competitive advantage during periods in
which customers, depositors, or investors seek
stability and fundamental strength as well as
convenience and high returns. Moreover, strong
capital can serve not only as a critical cushion to
help banks weather the kinds of pressures experienced in the 1980s, but it can also provide
banks with the financial strength to adapt successfully to future changes—changes that we
hope and expect will involve additional powers
and new opportunities to compete more freely
in the provision of banking and financial
services.
In the end, our banking organizations will be
stronger and more competitive, and the international banking system more resistant to financial
strains, if bank supervisory authorities from the
major countries cooperate in the establishment of
consistent and credible standards for the assessment of bank capital adequacy. I believe the
risk-based capital proposal constitutes an important and constructive step in this direction.

FOR

PROPOSED

CC

The Federal Reserve Board has approved Appendix D of proposed Regulation CC, which sets
out endorsement standards to be used by
banks—defined in the proposed regulation as all
depository institutions—when processing checks
for collection and return.
These standards will become effective on September 1, 1988, and are being made public before
the adoption of the remainder of Regulation CC

382

to allow banks the maximum amount of time
possible to comply.

PROPOSED

ACTIONS

The Federal Reserve Board issued for public
comment on April 5, 1988, a proposed concept of
same-day payment for checks presented to paying banks by private-sector collecting banks.
Under the proposed concept, paying banks
would pay for checks presented by collecting
banks prior to 2:00 p.m. in same-day final funds,
without the imposition of presentment fees.
Based upon the comments received, a specific
proposal may be developed, which could be
issued for public comment before establishment
of formal rules on this issue. Comments should
be submitted to the Board by August 3, 1988.
Specific comment is requested on five aspects of
same-day payment:
• What is the potential demand for same-day
payment and the anticipated public benefits if it
were implemented?
• What operational characteristics should a
same-day payment arrangement assume?
• What impact would same-day payment have
on various parties, and on the overall check
collection system?
• What are the factors affecting risk arising
from same-day payment?
• Are there alternatives to the same-day payment arrangement?
The Federal Reserve Board also issued for
public comment on April 20, 1988, a proposed
amendment to Regulation T (Credit by Brokers
and Dealers) to make certain foreign sovereign
debt securities marginable. Comments were to be
submitted to the Board by May 27, 1988.

The Federal Reserve published on April 22,1988,
a revised list of over-the-counter (OTC) stocks




that are subject to its margin regulations, effective May 9, 1988.
The List of Marginable OTC Stocks supersedes the revised List of Marginable OTC Stocks
that was effective on February 8, 1988. Changes
that have been made in the list, which now
includes 3,215 OTC stocks, are as follows: 75
stocks have been included for the first time, 62
under National Market System (NMS) designation; 55 stocks previously on the list have been
removed for substantially failing to meet the
requirements for continued listing; 81 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
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 August 1988.
Besides 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 RULE—REGULATION

CC

The Board of Governors has adopted a standard form
of indorsement for use by banks (defined in the proposed regulation to include all depository institutions
as well as branches of foreign banks in the United
States) when indorsing checks during the collection
and return process. The new standard is designed to
provide for clear and uniform indorsements for all
collecting and returning banks, plus a unique standard
for depositary bank indorsements. The standard will
facilitate the identification of the depositary bank and
the prompt return of unpaid checks. This standard will
be part of Regulation CC—Availability of Funds and
Collection of Checks (12 C.F.R. Part 229) which the
Board proposed for comment in December 1987. The
Board expects to act on the remainder of Regulation
CC in May 1988; it has adopted the indorsement
standard now to give banks and equipment vendors
additional time to comply with the standard.
Effective September 1, 1988, the Board adopts a
final rule to Regulation CC as follows:

12 U.S.C. § 1841 et seq., has applied for the Board's
approval, pursuant to section 3(a)(3) of the Act, to
acquire 100 percent of the voting shares of Potomac
Bancorp, Inc., Potomac, Illinois, and thereby indirectly to acquire Goodwine State Bank, Potomac,
Illinois; and to acquire 80.2 percent of the voting
shares of Rankin State Bank, Rankin, Illinois.
Notice of the applications, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
duly published (52 Federal Register 2,288 and. 2,539
(1988)). The time for filing comments has expired, and
the Board has considered the applications and all
comments received in light of the factors set forth in
section 3(c) of the Act.
City Financial, with deposits of $58.0 million,1 is
one of the smaller commercial banking organizations
in Illinois, controlling less than 1.0 percent of the total
deposits in commercial banking organizations ("total
deposits") in the state. Goodwine State Bank and
Rankin State Bank are two of the smaller commercial
banking organizations in Illinois, with deposits of
$19.0 million and $4.8 million respectively, representing less than 1.0 percent of the total deposits in the
state. Upon consummation of this proposal, City Financial will control deposits of $81.8 million, representing less than 1.0 percent of the total deposits in the
state. Consummation of this proposal would not have
any significant adverse effect upon the concentration
of banking resources in Illinois.
City Financial competes directly with Goodwine
State Bank in the Danville banking market,2 where
City Financial is the eighth largest of 12 commercial
banking organizations, controlling deposits of $17.0
million, representing 3.0 percent of the total deposits
in the market.3 Goodwine State Bank is the fifth
largest commercial banking organization in the market, controlling 3.4 percent of the total deposits in the
market. Upon consummation of this proposal, City
Financial would become the fourth largest commercial
banking organization in the market, controlling deposits of $36.0 million, representing 6.4 percent of the
total deposits in the market. The four-firm concentration ratio would increase from 78.7 percent to 81.2
percent, and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index
("HHI") would increase by 20 points to 1981.4

1. State banking data are as of June 30, 1987.
2. The Danville banking market is approximated by Vermillion
County, Illinois, except Butler, Grant and Sidell Townships.
3. Market data are as of June 30, 1986.
4. Under the revised Department of Justice Merger Guidelines, 49
Federal Register 26,823 (June 29, 1984), a market in which the
post-merger HHI is above 1800 is considered highly concentrated. In
such markets, 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 Depart
ment has informed the Board that a bank merger or acquisition

City Financial competes with Rankin State Bank in
the Watseka banking market.5 City Financial is the
second largest of 14 commercial banking organizations, controlling deposits of $40.9 million, representing 11.4 percent of the total deposits in the market.
Rankin State Bank is the 13th largest commercial
banking organization in the market, controlling 1.6
percent of the total deposits in the market. Upon
consummation of this proposal, City Financial will
remain the second largest commercial banking organization in the market, controlling deposits of $45.7
million, representing 13.0 percent of the total deposits
in the market. The four-firm concentration ratio would
increase from 48.1 percent to 49.7 percent and the
HHI would increase by 34 points to 995.
In view of the market shares of the resulting organization and the small increase in concentration, the
Board concludes that consummation of the proposal
would not have a substantial adverse effect on existing
competition in the Danville and Watseka banking
markets.
In evaluating the applications, the Board has considered the financial resources of City Financial and
the effect on these resources of the proposed acquisition. The Board has stated and continues to believe
that capital adequacy is an important factor in the
analysis of bank holding company proposals. In this
regard, the Board notes that it appears that City
Financial will be able to service its debt while maintaining capital above the minimum levels in the
Board's Capital Adequacy Guidelines. Accordingly,
the Board concludes that financial and managerial
resources of City Financial, Potomac Bancorp, Inc.,
Goodwine State Bank and Rankin State Bank are
consistent with approval. Considerations relating to
the convenience and needs of the communities to be
served also are consistent with approval.
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the applications should be,
and hereby are, approved. The transactions 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 periods are extended for good cause by the
Board or by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago,
pursuant to delegated authority.
generally will not be challenged (in the absence of other factors
indicating anticompetitive effects) 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 effects
implicitly recognizes the competitive effect of limited-purpose lenders
and other non-depository financial entities.

County, plus Butler and Grant Townships in Vermillion County,

Merrimack Bancorp, Inc.
Lowell, Massachusetts
Order Approving the Acquisition of a Bank
Merrimack Bancorp, Inc., Lowell, Massachusetts
("Merrimack"), a 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 3 of the BHC Act
(12 U.S.C. § 1842) to acquire the successor by merger
to Hillsborough Bank & Trust Company, Milford,
New Hampshire ("Hillsborough").1
Notice of the applications, affording an opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments, has been
published (53 Federal Register 2,783 (1988)). The time
for filing comments has expired, and the Board has
considered the applications and all comments received
in light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the
BHC Act (12 U.S.C. § 1842(c)).
Section 3(d) of the BHC 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 holding
company's home state unless the law of the state in
which the target bank is located specifically authorizes
such an acquisition.2 The statute laws of New Hampshire authorize an out-of-state New England bank
holding company to acquire a New Hampshire bank or
bank holding company with the approval of the New
Hampshire Bank Commissioner.3 The commissioner
must find that the principal banking business of the
acquiring institution is conducted in a New England
state which would allow a similar acquisition by a New

Merrimack Bancorp of New Hampshire, Inc., Milford, New Hampshire, which has applied to become a bank holding company. Merrimack Bancorp of New Hampshire will be a second-tier bank holding

2. A bank holding company's home state is the state in which the

Hampshire bank or bank holding company under
conditions no more restrictive than those imposed by
New Hampshire law. 4
The New Hampshire Bank Commissioner has found
that Massachusetts would allow the acquisition of a
Massachusetts banking organization by a New Hampshire banking organization under conditions no more
restrictive than those imposed by New Hampshire
law.5 Accordingly, the New Hampshire Board of Trust
Company Incorporation approved Merrimack's application on February 29, 1988. In light of the foregoing,
the Board has determined that the proposed acquisition is specifically authorized by the statute laws of
New Hampshire, and is thus not prohibited by the
Douglas Amendment.
Merrimack is the seventy-ninth largest banking organization in Massachusetts, operating one subsidiary
bank with total deposits of $219.3 million, representing
less than one percent of the total deposits in commercial banks in Massachusetts.6 Hillsborough is the
sixty-first largest commercial banking organization in
New Hampshire, controlling deposits of $20.9 million,
representing less than one percent of total deposits in
commercial banks in New Hampshire. Consummation
of the proposal would not have any significant adverse
effect upon the concentration of banking resources in
Massachusetts or New Hampshire.
Merrimack and Hillsborough do not compete directly in any banking market. Accordingly, consummation of the proposal would not eliminate any significant existing competition in any relevant banking
market. The Board has also considered the effects of
the proposed acquisition on probable future competition in the markets in which Merrimack or Hillsborough, but not both, compete. In light of the existence
of numerous potential entrants into the relevant markets, the Board concludes that consummation of the
proposed transaction would not have any significant
adverse effect on probable future competition in any
relevant banking market.
The financial and managerial resources of Merrimack, its subsidiary, and Hillsborough are consistent
with approval.7 Considerations relating to the conve-

General from the New Hampshire Bank Commissioner.
6. All banking data are as of September 30, 1987.
7. Merrimack has also requested relief from certain commitments
relating to savings bank life insurance ("SBLI") activities that it made
in connection with its acquisition of Lowell Institution for Savings,
Lowell, Massachusetts. Merrimack meets and will continue to meet
all of the requirements set out by the BHC Act as amended by the
Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987 for bank holding companies
that desire to engage in SBLI activities through qualified savings bank
subsidiaries. Thus, the Board has determined that Merrimack should
be, and hereby is, granted relief from its previous commitments.

nience and needs of the communities to be served also
are consistent with approval of this application.
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the applications should be,
and hereby are, approved, subject to the express
condition that Merrimack obtain the approval of the
Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks.8 This transaction 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
Boston, acting pursuant to delegated authority.

New Hampshire Savings Bank Corp.
Nashua, New Hampshire
Order Approving Acquisition of a Bank
New Hampshire Savings Bank Corp., Nashua, New
Hampshire ("NHSB Corp."), a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act ("Act"), (12 U.S.C. § 1841 et seq.), has
applied for the Board's approval pursuant to section
3(a)(3) of the Act (12 U.S.C. § 1842(a)(3)) to acquire
100 percent of the voting shares of the successor by
merger to New Hampshire Savings Bank of Nashua,
Nashua, New Hampshire ("NHSB Bank"), and First
Federal Bank, FSB, Nashua, New Hampshire
("FFB").
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
duly published (52 Federal Register 45,693 (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.
FFB is a federal stock savings bank, the accounts of
which are insured by the Federal Savings and Loan
Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC"). FFB has adopted
a conversion plan by which it will convert to a statechartered cooperative bank, the accounts of which will

be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). NHSB Corp. proposes to establish
NHSB Bank as a state-chartered guaranty savings
bank, the accounts of which will be insured by the
FDIC. After the conversion, NHSB Corp. will acquire
by merger FFB. 1
Because FFB, at the time of its acquisition by
NHSB Corp., will be an FDIC-insured bank, FFB
would be a "bank" for purposes of the Act, 2 and
NHSB Corp. properly has applied to acquire FFB
under section 3 of the Act, which governs the acquisition of banks by bank holding companies.
NHSB Corp., with deposits of $790.0 million,3 is the
sixth largest depository institution among commercial
banks and thrift organizations in New Hampshire,
controlling 5.7 percent of the total deposits of commercial banks and thrift organizations in the state.4
FFB is the twelfth largest depository institution among
commercial banks and thrift organizations in New
Hampshire, controlling deposits of $234.0 million,
representing 1.7 percent of the total deposits in commercial banks and thrift organizations in the state.
Upon consummation of this proposal, NHSB Corp.
will become the fourth largest depository institution in
New Hampshire and control deposits of approximately $1.1 billion, representing 7.4 percent of the
total deposits in commercial banks and thrift organizations in the state. Consummation of this proposal
would not have any significant adverse effect upon the
concentration of banking resources in New Hampshire.
NHSB Corp. competes directly with FFB in the
Nashua and Portsmouth-Dover-Rochester banking
markets. In the Nashua banking market,5 NHSB
Corp. is the eleventh largest depository institution
among commercial banks and thrift organizations,
controlling deposits of $18.9 million, representing 1.1
percent of the total deposits in commercial banks and
thrift organizations in the market. FFB is the fourth
largest depository institution among commercial banks
and thrift organizations in the market, controlling

1. NHSB Corp. has also applied to acquire warrants representing
up to 24.9 percent of the common stock of FFB. Because FFB
currently operates as an FSLIC-insured thrift institution, NHSB
Corp. will not acquire warrants representing more than 4.9 percent of
the voting shares without Board approval.
2. As an FDIC-insured bank, FFB would qualify as a "bank" under
section 2(c) of the Act, as amended by section 101(a) of the Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987 ("CEBA"), Pub. L. No. 100-86,

deposits of $199.2 million, representing 11.9 percent of
the total deposits in commercial banks and thrift
organizations in the market. Upon consummation of
this proposal, NHSB Corp. would become the fourth
largest depository institution in the market, controlling
deposits of $218.1 million, representing 13.0 percent of
the total deposits in the market. The four-firm concentration ratio would increase from 72.1 to 73.3 percent,
and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index ("HHI") 6 would
increase 27 points to 1542. In view of the small
increase in concentration, the Board has concluded
that consummation of this proposal will not have a
substantial adverse effect upon competition in the
Nashua banking market.
In the Portsmouth-Dover-Rochester banking
market,7 NHSB Corp. is the ninth largest depository
institution among commercial banks and thrift organizations, controlling deposits of $79.4 million, representing 3.3 percent of the total deposits in commercial
banks and thrift organizations in the market. FFB is
the 23rd largest depository institution among commercial banks and thrift organizations in the market,
controlling deposits of $21.6 million, representing less
than one percent of the total deposits in commercial
banks and thrift organizations in the market. Upon
consummation of this proposal, NHSB Corp. would
become the seventh largest depository institution in
the market, controlling deposits of $101.0 million,
representing 4.2 percent of the total deposits in the
market. The HHI would increase by 6 points to 669
and the market would remain unconcentrated. In view
of the unconcentrated nature of the market and the
small increase in concentration, consummation of this
proposal would not have a substantial adverse effect
upon concentration in the Portsmouth-Dover-Rochester banking market.
The financial and managerial resources of NHSB
Corp. and FFB are consistent with approval. Considerations relating to the convenience and needs of the

6. 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 between 1000 and 1800 is considered moderately
concentrated, and the Department is unlikely to challenge a merger or
acquisition resulting in an HHI between 1000 and 1800 if the increase
in the HHI is less than 100 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 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
acquisitions for anti-competitive effects implicitly recognizes the
competitive effects of limited purpose lenders and other non-depository financial entities.

communities to be served are also consistent with
approval.
The Board notes that this application involves the
acquisition of a bank that results from a conversion of
a non-failing FSLIC-insured federal savings bank. The
acquisition proposed here, however, does not fall
within the scope of the Board's policy and rulings
regarding acquisitions of thrift institutions under section 4 of the Act8 or the provisions of the 1982 GarnSt Germain Depository Institutions Act regarding acquisitions of thrift institutions. FFB, when acquired by
NHSB Corp., will be a state-chartered cooperative
bank, the accounts of which are insured by the FDIC.
As an FDIC-insured institution, FFB will qualify as a
"bank" under the Act.
In addition, the Board has considered the one year
moratorium on thrift conversions imposed by the
Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987
("CEBA"). 9 CEBA, however, provides an exemption
from the moratorium for institutions, like FFB, which
entered into a letter of intent to affiliate with an
FDIC-insured institution before March 31, 1987. FFB
entered into a letter of intent to affiliate with an
FDIC-insured institution before March 31, 1987, and
statements by certain members of the Senate during
consideration of the conference report on CEBA support a determination that FFB is not subject to the
CEBA moratorium on thrift conversions.
The Congressional debates on the moratorium provisions of CEBA indicate that an institution that
entered into a letter of intent before March 31, 1987,
and as a part of the process initiated a change of its
insurance status, was exempt from the CEBA restrictions, notwithstanding the fact that the institution
modified its FDIC insurance application after the
initial proposed merger fell through.10 The legislative
history further states that the exempt status attaches
even though the original merger transaction was not
consummated, because the application to change insurance stems from the date of the letter of intent.
Because FFB entered into an agreement to affiliate
with an FDIC-insured institution before March 31,
1987, the moratorium does not apply to this
transaction.11
The Board expects that NHSB Corp. will comply
with all state and federal requirements necessary for

PNC is the second largest banking organization in
Pennsylvania and operates 26 subsidiary banks in
Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania,
with total domestic deposits of $20.9 billion.1 Bank is
a newly chartered national bank that will be located in
New Jersey. Because the bank to be acquired is a de
novo bank, consummation of this proposal would not
result in an increase in the concentration of banking
resources in New Jersey.
Section 3(d) of the Act (12 U.S.C. § 1842(d)), the
Douglas Amendment, prohibits the Board from approving an application by a bank holding company to
acquire control of any bank located outside of the
holding company's home state, unless such acquisition
is "specifically authorized by the statute laws of the
state in which [the] bank is located, by language to that
effect and not merely by implication."2 The Board has
previously determined that New Jersey has by statute
expressly authorized a Pennsylvania bank holding
company to acquire a New Jersey bank or bank
holding company.3 Accordingly, approval of PNC's
proposal to acquire Bank is not barred by the Douglas
Amendment.
Bank is to be located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey,
and will compete in the Philadelphia/Trenton banking
market.4 Because Bank is a de novo institution, consummation of the proposal will not have any significant adverse effects on either existing or potential
competition in any relevant market.
The financial and managerial resources and future
prospects of PNC, its subsidiaries and Bank are consistent with approval. Considerations relating to the
convenience and needs of the communities to be
served are also consistent with 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. This transaction shall not be

SunTrust Banks, Inc.
Atlanta, Georgia
Sun Banks, Inc.
Orlando, Florida
Order Approving Acquisition of a Bank
SunTrust Banks, Inc., Atlanta, Georgia, and Sun
Banks, Inc., Orlando, Florida (together, "SunTrust"),
bank holding companies within the meaning of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended
(12 U.S.C. § 1841 et seq.) ("Act"), have applied
jointly for the Board's approval under section 3(a)(3)
of the Act (12 U.S.C. § 1842(a)(3)), to acquire all of
the voting shares of Commercial Bank In Panama
City, Panama City, Florida ("Commercial Bank").
Notice of the application, affording an opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments, has been
given in accordance with section 3 of the Act. (53
Federal Register 179 (1988)). 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 Direct
Involvement Savannahians Together Urging Responsive Banking Services ("DISTURBS"), in light of the
factors set forth in section 3(c) of the Act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1842(c)).
SunTrust controls fifty-two bank subsidiaries in
Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. SunTrust is the second largest banking organization in Florida, controlling deposits in that state of $11.5 billion, representing
13.3 percent of the total deposits in commercial banks
("total deposits") in Florida.1 Commercial Bank controls $166.9 million in total deposits in the state of
Florida, representing 0.2 percent of total deposits in
the state. As part of this proposal, SunTrust intends to
acquire Lynn Haven Commercial Bank, Lynn Haven,
Florida ("Lynn Haven Bank"), and Springfield Com-

1. Deposit data are as of September 30, 1987.




mercial Bank, Springfield, Florida ("Springfield
Bank"), through bank-to-bank mergers with Commercial Bank. The Lynn Haven Bank, Springfield Bank
and Commercial Bank (together "Banks") are under
common management and ownership. After the
merger of Lynn Haven Bank and Springfield Bank into
Commercial Bank, SunTrust will control deposits
equalling $11.7 billion, representing 13.5 percent of
commercial deposits in Florida. Consummation of this
proposal will have no significant effect upon the concentration of commercial banking resources in Florida.
The Banks to be acquired operate in the Bay County
banking market.2 SunTrust does not operate in this
market, and thus, consummation of the proposal
would not eliminate any substantial existing competition between SunTrust and Banks in the Bay County
market. In addition, consummation of the proposal
would not substantially lessen probable future competition in any market.
The Board considers the financial and managerial
resources of SunTrust, its subsidiary banks and Commercial Bank to be consistent with approval of the
application.
In considering the convenience and needs of the
communities to be served, the Board has also taken
into account SunTrust'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 moderateincome neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound
operation. The Board has received comments from
DISTURBS, which represents low-income groups and
individuals in Savannah, Georgia. DISTURBS requests that the Board not approve the application due
to the failure of Trust Company Bank of Savannah,
Savannah, Georgia ("Savannah Bank"), a bank subsidiary of SunTrust, to meet the local credit needs of
Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia.3 SunTrust has
met privately with DISTURBS on two occasions and
has requested further meetings with the latter to discuss specific problems.

3. DISTURBS asserts that in Savannah, Georgia, SunTrust has
failed to ascertain and meet the credit needs of low- and moderateincome neighborhoods and minority residents and has inadequately

reviewed the allegations made by DISTURBS and
SunTrust's response. The Board has also considered
Savannah Bank's CRA record as detailed in its report
of examination, as required by the CRA. In addition,
SunTrust has indicated it will take a number of steps to
enhance Savannah Bank's CRA performance. Savannah Bank will strengthen and expand consumer compliance by instituting more extensive training and
review procedures for responsible personnel. The
Bank will also strengthen its program to market credit
services to minorities and low- and moderate-income
neighborhoods, and its efforts to ascertain the credit
needs of minorities and low- and moderate-income
neighborhoods, through meetings with community
representatives. Savannah Bank will also enhance its
efforts to promote community development for minorities and low- and moderate-income neighborhoods
by, among other things, engaging in discussions with
representatives from the City of Savannah. SunTrust
will file quarterly reports with the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta detailing SunTrust's progress in meeting its CRA objectives. Finally, SunTrust has also
committed to strengthen consumer compliance in all of
its banking subsidiaries.
The Board has carefully reviewed the record of
SunTrust in meeting the convenience and needs of the
community of Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia.
Based on this review and after taking into account
SunTrust's commitments to enhance its service to
meet the convenience and needs of all segments of the
community, the Board concludes that convenience
and needs considerations are consistent with approval
of this application.5
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the application under section 3 of the Act should be, and hereby is, approved.
The acquisition of Commercial Bank 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 the Order, unless
such period is extended for good cause by the Board or
by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, pursuant to
delegated authority.

5. DISTURBS has also requested that the Board order a public
meeting to receive public testimony on the issues presented by this
application. Although section 3(b) of the Act does not require a formal
hearing in this instance, the Board may order a formal or informal
hearing. In the Board's view, the parties have had ample opportunity
to present their arguments in writing and to respond to one another's
submissions. Moreover, the Savannah Bank has requested additional
meetings with DISTURBS to discuss specific problems. In light of
these facts, SunTrust's proposals to expand its services, and other
facts of record, the Board has determined that a hearing would serve
no useful purpose. Accordingly, DISTURBS' request for a public
hearing is hereby denied.

Orders Issued Under Section 4 of the Bank
Holding Company Act
The Chase Manhattan Corporation
New York, New York
Order Approving Application to Engage in Limited
Underwriting and Dealing in Commercial Paper
The Chase Manhattan Corporation ("Chase" or "Applicant"), New York, New York, a bank holding
company within the meaning of the Bank Holding
Company Act ("BHC Act"), has applied for the
Board's approval under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act
(12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)) and section 225.23 of the
Board's Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. § 225.23) to engage
de novo through Chase Manhattan Treasury Corporation, New York, New York ("Company"), in underwriting and dealing in, on a limited basis, commercial
paper.
Company currently underwrites and deals in securities that state member banks are permitted to underwrite and deal in under the Glass-Steagall Act (hereinafter "bank-eligible securities"), as permitted by
section 225.25(b)(16) of Regulation Y (12 C.F.R.
§ 225.25(b)(16)). Company has also previously received Board approval under section 4(c)(8) of the
BHC Act to underwrite and deal in 1-4 family mortgage-related securities, certain municipal revenue
bonds (including "public ownership" industrial development bonds) and consumer-receivable-related securities ("CRRs") (hereinafter "ineligible securities").
These activities must be limited so as not to exceed 5
percent of Company's gross revenues and 5 percent of
the market share for each security. Citicorp, J.P.

Applicant

has proposed to conduct Company's underwriting and
dealing in commercial paper in the same manner and to

392

Federal Reserve Bulletin • June 1988

the same extent as previously approved by the Board
in the foregoing Orders.1 The proposed new underwriting and dealing activities would be provided in
addition to the above activities.
Chase, with consolidated assets of $99.1 billion, is
the second largest banking organization in the nation.
It operates seven subsidiary banks and engages directly and through subsidiaries in a broad range of
permissible nonbanking activities.2
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments on the proposal, has been published (53 Federal Register 6,201
(1988)). The Securities Industry Association ("SIA"),
a trade association of the investment banking industry,
opposes the application for the reasons stated in its
earlier protests to similar applications by Citicorp, J.P.
Morgan & Co. Incorporated and Bankers Trust New
York Corporation.
On April 30, 1987, 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 (except for
Citicorp) commercial paper.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 GlassSteagall Act4 provided they derived no more than 5
percent of their total gross revenues from underwriting
and dealing in the approved securities over any twoyear period and their underwriting and dealing activities did not exceed 5 percent of the market for each

1. In its CilicorplMorgan/Bankers
Trust Order, the Board stated
that it "will not consider the underwriting subsidiaries to be engaged
principally in ineligible underwriting and dealing activities under
section 20 of the Glass-Steagall Act under the conditions established
below for the conduct of the activity under the BHC Act, if (1) the
underwriting subsidiaries derive no more than 5 percent of their total
gross revenues from ineligible underwriting and dealing activity on
average over any two year period, (2) their underwriting activities in
connection with each particular type of ineligible security do not
account for more than 5 percent of the total amount of that type of
security underwritten domestically by all firms (or, in the case of
commercial paper, the average amount of dealer-placed commercial
paper outstanding) during the previous calendar year, and (3) they
limit the amount of each particular type of security held for dealing so
as not to exceed the amount of the underwriting market share
limitation described in paragraph (2) above." 73 FEDERAL RESERVE
BULLETIN at 485-486.
2. All data are as of December 31, 1987.
3. Citicorp/Morgan/Bankers
Trust, supra. The Board subsequently
approved similar applications by a number of other bank holding
companies.
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 . . . . "




particular type of security involved.5 The Board further found that, subject to the prudential 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. 6
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 commercial
paper 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
limit Company's activities as provided in that Order.
Accordingly, the Board has determined to approve the
underwriting 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 that Order.
The Board's approval of this application extends
only to activities conducted within the limitations of
the Citicorp!Morgan!Bankers 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, conflicts of interest and other relevant considerations
under the BHC Act. Underwriting or dealing in commercial paper 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 a bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries as the Board finds
necessary to assure compliance with, and to prevent
5. In this regard, the Board notes that the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Second Circuit has upheld the Board's determination that the
underwriting subsidiaries would not be engaged principally in ineligible securities underwriting and dealing under the above revenue
limitation. Securities Industry Association v. Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, 839 F.2d 47 (2d Cir. 1988). The court,
however, stated that the 5 percent market share limitation was not
adequately supported by the facts of record. Because the SIA has
sought Supreme Court review of the decision, the Board believes it
appropriate to retain the market share limitation until resolution of the
litigation. In the event the Second Circuit's decision becomes final,
the Board will consider a petition by Chase for relief from the
limitation.
6. On July 14, 1987, the Board subsequently decided that underwriting and dealing in CRRs is so closely related to banking as to be a
proper incident thereto within the meaning of section 4(c)(8) of the
BHC Act. Chemical, supra.

evasion of, the provisions of the BHC Act and the
Board's regulations and orders issued thereunder.
The Board notes that the SIA has sought judicial
review by the U.S. Supreme Court of the Citicorp/Morgan/Bankers Trust Order to which this Order
pertains. The Board notes that the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit has stayed the effectiveness of that Order and subsequent ineligible securities underwriting 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.

engages through certain of its subsidiaries in a variety
of nonbanking activities. CFI is a futures commission
merchant ("FCM") registered with the Commodity

in the execution and clearance of futures contracts and
options on futures contracts for bullion, foreign exchange, government securities, certificates of deposit,
and other money market instruments that a bank may

Order Approving Application to Execute and Clear
Futures Contracts on a Municipal Bond Index and
to Provide Futures Advisory Services
Chemical New York Corporation, New York, New
York ("Chemical"), a bank holding company within
the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act
(12 U.S.C. § 1841 et seq.) ("BHC Act"), has applied
pursuant to section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act to engage,
through its subsidiary, Chemical Futures, Inc.
("CFI"), in the solicitation, execution and clearance
of futures contracts on a municipal bond index on
major commodities exchanges for non-affiliated persons, and the provision of advisory services to nonaffiliated persons with respect to such futures contracts. The proposed futures contract is a financial
future that is based on an index of general obligation
bonds and revenue bonds selected by The Bond Buyer.
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments on the relation of the proposed activities to banking and on the
balance of public interest factors, has been duly published (53 Federal Register 7,236 (1988)). 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.
Chemical, with total consolidated assets of $78.2
billion, is the third largest banking organization in New



393

71 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN 111 (1985)

("Bankers Trust"). The factors upon which the Board
based its approval decision in Bankers Trust are present in this application. Applicant's subsidiary, The
Chemical Bank, has long been a major participant in
the municipal securities market as an underwriter of
and dealer in municipal bonds and municipal notes.
The Board has determined that Chemical's proposal
to execute and clear such futures contracts is substantially similar to the proposal approved by the Board in
Bankers Trust, and Chemical's prior experience in the
municipal securities markets indicates that CFI would
have the expertise to provide the proposed services.
Accordingly, the Board concludes that, in the manner
proposed, and subject to the conditions set forth in
section 225.25(b)(18) of Regulation Y, Chemical's proposal to execute and clear futures contracts on a
municipal bond index is closely related to banking.
With respect to the proposed advisory services,
such services also were authorized in Bankers Trust
and several other cases. 2 Chemical proposes to provide investment and advisory services to FCM customers and others. Chemical has committed to limit
these advisory services so as to be consistent with the
limits in section 225.25(b)(19) of Regulation Y which
are placed on the provision of similar advisory services. 3 Based on the facts of this case, and subject to

3. Section 225.25(b)(19) limits an FCM that is providing investment
advice related to the futures contracts it is executing and clearing, to
providing such advice to financial institutions and other financially
sophisticated customers that have significant dealings or holdings in
the underlying commodities, securities, or instruments.

the commitments made by Applicant, the Board concludes that these activities are closely related to banking.
Under section 4 of the BHC Act, the Board is also
required to determine that the performance of the
proposed activities by applicant "can reasonably be
expected to produce benefits to the public . . . that
outweigh possible adverse effects, such as undue
concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interests, or unsound banking
practices." 12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8).
Consummation of Chemical's proposal would provide added convenience to its clients. The Board
expects that the de novo entry of Chemical into the
market for these services would increase the level of
competition among providers of these services already
in operation. Accordingly, the Board concludes that
the performance of the proposed activities by Chemical can reasonably be expected to provide benefits to
the public.
Moreover, there is no evidence in the record that
consummation of the proposed FCM activities would
result in any adverse effects such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition,
conflicts of interests, or unsound banking practices. In
addition, the Board has taken into account and has
relied on the regulatory framework established pursuant to law by the CFTC for the trading of futures.
The financial and managerial resources and future
prospects of Applicant are considered consistent with
approval. Based upon a consideration of all the relevant facts, the Board concludes that the balance of the
public interest factors that it is required to consider
under section 4(c)(8) is favorable. Accordingly, based
on all the facts of record and the commitments made
by Applicant, and subject to the conditions in this
Order, the Board has determined that the proposed
application should be, and hereby is, approved. This
determination is subject to all of the conditions set
forth in Regulation Y, including sections 225.4(d) and
225.23(b)(3) (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 bank holding
company or any of its subsidiaries as the Board finds
necessary to assure compliance with, or to prevent
evasion of, the provisions and purposes of the BHC
Act and the Board's regulations and orders issued
thereunder.
The transaction shall be made not later than three
months after the effective date of this Order, unless
such period is extended for good cause by the Board or
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, pursuant
to delegated authority.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
April 19, 1988.

Orders Issued Under Sections 3 and 4 of the
Bank Holding Company Act
Constitution Bancorp of New England, Inc.
Fairfield, Connecticut
Order Approving Acquisition of Bank Holding
Companies
Constitution Bancorp of New England, Inc., Fairfield,
Connecticut, has applied for the Board's approval
under section 3 of the Bank Holding Company Act
("Act") (12 U.S.C. § 1841 et seq.), to become a bank
holding company by acquiring 100 percent of Lafayette Bancorp, Inc., Bridgeport, Connecticut ("Lafayette"), and thereby to acquire indirectly Lafayette
Bank and Trust Company, Bridgeport, Connecticut;
and to acquire American Bancorp, Inc., Hamden,
Connecticut ("American"), and thereby to acquire
indirectly American National Bank, Hamden, Connecticut. Applicant has also applied under section
4(c)(8) of the Act (12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)) to acquire
DCG Acquisition, Inc., Hamden, Connecticut
("DCG"), a nonbanking subsidiary of American, and
thereby engage in data processing activities.
Notice of the applications, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
duly published (52 Federal Register 2,446 (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.
Applicant is a non-operating corporation formed for
the purpose of becoming a bank holding company by
acquiring Lafayette and American. Lafayette is the
twelfth largest commercial banking organization in
Connecticut, controlling deposits of $208 million, 1
representing less than 1 percent of the total deposits in
commercial banking organizations in the state. American is the eleventh largest commercial banking organization in Connecticut, controlling $258 million in
deposits, also representing less than 1 percent of the
total deposits in commercial banking organizations in
the state. Upon consummation of the proposal, Appli-

1. All state banking data are as of June 30, 1987.

Legal Developments

cant will become the seventh largest commercial banking organization in Connecticut, controlling deposits
of $466 million, which represent 1.9 percent of the
total deposits in commercial banking organizations in
the state. Accordingly, consummation of this proposal
would not result in a significant increase in banking
resources in Connecticut.
The Board has considered the effects of the proposal
upon competition in the relevant banking markets.2
American's sole subsidiary bank operates in the Hartford and New Haven, Connecticut, banking markets,
where it controls less than 6.5 percent of the total
deposits in commercial banks in each market.3 Lafayette's sole bank subsidiary operates in the Bridgeport
banking market,4 where it controls 7.6 percent of the
market's total commercial bank deposits. Because
American does not operate a bank in any market in
which Lafayette operates a banking subsidiary, consummation of the proposal would not eliminate significant existing competition in any relevant banking
market.
In its evaluation of Applicant's managerial resources, the Board has considered certain violations
by American National Bank ("American Bank") and
Lafayette Bank and Trust Company ("Lafayette
Bank") of the Currency and Foreign Transactions
Reporting Act ("CFTRA") and the regulations
thereunder.5
Lafayette Bank has implemented appropriate remedial measures designed to prevent a recurrence of the
CFTRA violations. These measures include the establishment of a centralized exempt list, enhancement of
the teller training program regarding large currency
transaction reporting and the implementation of comprehensive audit procedures. Examiners from the appropriate bank supervisory authority have reviewed
the measures implemented by Lafayette Bank and
determined that they are adequate to assure future
compliance with the CFTRA.
The Board also has considered certain violations by
American Bank of the CFTRA. In that regard, American Bank has entered into an agreement with the
United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut,

RMA minus the Tolland County Township of Manfield and the
Windham County Township of Windham, plus the Windham County
Township of Ashford, the Hartford County Township of Hartland and
the Tolland County Township of Union, and the remaining portions of
Plymouth and East Haddam not already included in the Hartford
RMA, all of Connecticut. The N e w Haven banking market is approximated by the N e w Haven RMA.

pursuant to which it pled guilty to a one count felony
violation of the CFTRA with respect to certain unreported currency transactions and was levied a fine of
$200,000. In addition, Bank has agreed to file additional currency transaction reports for certain unreported transactions. The United States Attorney has
advised the Board that his investigation into these
matters has been concluded. American Bank also has
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with
the Department of the Treasury with respect to the
unreported currency transactions.
American Bank also has taken remedial action designed to address the potential for future CFTRA
violations by reviewing and enhancing its CFTRA
compliance policies and procedures. American Bank
has appointed a CFTRA compliance officer, implemented a formal CFTRA training program, and appropriate procedural manuals have been made available in
all branches. In addition, American Bank has adopted
a model audit program and engaged an outside consultant to conduct semi-annual reviews of its CFTRA
compliance. Further, examiners from the appropriate
bank supervisory authorities have reviewed the
CFTRA procedures adopted by American Bank and
determined that they are sufficient to ensure future
compliance with the CFTRA. The Board also has
consulted with appropriate enforcement agencies with
respect to this matter, and has considered American
Bancorp's past record of compliance with the law.
Based upon the foregoing and all of the facts of
record, the Board concludes that the managerial resources of Applicant, American, Lafayette, and their
subsidiary banks, are consistent with approval. The
Board also finds that the financial resources and future
prospects of these organizations are consistent with
approval of the proposal. Considerations related to the
convenience and needs of the communities to be
served also are consistent with approval.
Applicant has also applied, pursuant to section
4(c)(8) of the Act, to acquire DCG and thereby engage
in the provision of data processing services to financial
institutions. These activities have been determined by
the Board to be closely related to banking and permissible for bank holding companies. 12 C.F.R.
§ 225.25(b)(7). DCG previously conducted these activities as a subsidiary of American,6 and there is no
evidence in the record to indicate that approval of this
proposal would result in undue concentration of resources, decreased or 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
Act is consistent with approval of the application to
acquire DCG.
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the applications under
sections 3 and 4 of the Act should be, and hereby are,
approved. The acquisition of American and Lafayette
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

to the nonbanking activities are subject to all of the

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 depository institutions; (2) travelers checks of nonbank issuers; (3) demand
deposits at all commercial banks other than those due to depository institutions,
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.
M2: M1 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.
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 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-oniy), 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.

pledged with Federal Reserve Banks—and excludes any securities sold and
scheduled to be bought back under matched sale-purchase transactions.
2. Revised for periods between October 1986 and April 1987. At times during

1. These data also appear in the Board's H.3 (502) release. For address, see inside front cover.
2. Excludes required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for
float.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks plus vault cash used to satisfy
reserve requirements less required reserves.
8. 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.
9. Before February 1984, data are prorated monthly averages of weekly
averages; beginning February 1984, data are prorated monthly averages of
biweekly averages.

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 reestablished 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
Vl 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 reestablished 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.

1. Reserve requirements in effect on Dec. 31, 1987. 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. 15, 1987, the exemption was raised from $2.9
million to $3.2 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
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. 15,
1987 for institutions reporting quarterly and Dec. 29, 1987 for institutions
reporting weekly, the amount was increased from $36.7 million to $40.5 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 5

1. 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 Monetary and Reserves
Projections Section. Division of Monetary Affairs. Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551.
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. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 plus, for institutions not having required reserve balances, the excess of current vault cash over
the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. Currency and vault
cash figures are measured over the weekly computation period ending Monday.
The seasonally adjusted monetary base 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.
6. 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.

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

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. A change in the reporting panel in November resulted in a slight understatement of outstanding volume.
2. Data reflect a break in series resulting from additions to the reporting
panel.

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

or more in total acceptances. The new reporting group accounts for over 90
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 o f t e n issues: four public utilities, four industrials, one financial, and one
transportation. Common stock ratios on the 500 stocks in the price index.
NOTE. These data also appear in the Board's H. 15 (519) and G. 13 (415) releases.

1. 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. FY 1987 total outlays and deficit do not correspond to the monthly data
because the Monthly Treasury Statement has not completed the monthly distribution of revisions reflected in the fiscal year total in The Budget of the U.S.
Government, Fiscal Year 1989.
2. 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.
3. 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 I M F valuation adjustment; and profit on the sale of gold.

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.
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 Financing Corporation, established in August 1987 to recapitalize the
Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, undertook its first borrowing in
October 1987.
10. 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.
11. 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.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION

1. Weighted averages based on sample surveys of mortgages originated by
major institutional lender groups; compiled by the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board in cooperation with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
2. Includes all fees, commissions, discounts, and "points" paid (by the
borrower or the seller) to obtain a loan.
3. Average effective interest rates on loans closed, assuming prepayment at the
end of 10 years.
4. Average contract rates on new commitments for conventional first mortgages; from Department of Housing and Urban Development.
5. Average gross yields on 30-year, minimum-downpayment, Federal Housing
Administration-insured first mortgages for immediate delivery in the private
secondary market. Based on transactions on first day of subsequent month. Large

6. Average net yields to investors on Government National Mortgage Association guaranteed, mortgage-backed, fully modified pass-through securities, assuming prepayment in 12 years on pools of 30-year FHA/VA mortgages carrying
the prevailing ceiling rate. Monthly figures are averages of Friday figures from the
Wall Street Journal.
7. Includes some multifamily and nonprofit hospital loan commitments in
addition to 1- to 4-family loan commitments accepted in FNMA's free market
auction system, and through the FNMA-GNMA tandem plans.
8. Includes participation as well as whole loans.
9. Includes conventional and government-underwritten loans. FHLMC's mortgage commitments and mortgage transactions include activity under mortgage/
securities swap programs, while the corresponding data for FNMA exclude swap
activity.

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




NOTE. Census Bureau estimates for all series except (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.

106 Number of banks

1. Effective Mar. 31, 1984, the report of condition was substantially revised
for commercial banks. Some of the changes are as follows: (1) Previously, banks
with international banking facilities (IBFs) that had no other foreign offices were
considered domestic reporters. Beginning with the Mar. 31, 1984 call report these
banks are considered foreign and domestic reporters and must file the foreign and
domestic report of condition; (2) banks with assets greater than $1 billion have
additional items reported; (3) the domestic office detail for banks with foreign
offices has been reduced considerably; and (4) banks with assets under $25 million
have been excused from reporting certain detail items.
2. The " n . a . " for some of the items is used to indicate the lesser detail
available from banks without foreign offices, the inapplicability of certain items to
banks that have only domestic offices and/or the absence of detail on a fully
consolidated basis for banks with foreign offices.
3. All transactions between domestic and foreign offices of a bank are
reported in "net due f r o m " and "net due to." All other lines represent
transactions with parties other than the domestic and foreign offices of each bank.
Since these intraoffice transactions are nullified by consolidation, total assets and
total liabilities for the entire bank may not equal the sum of assets and liabilities
respectively, of the domestic and foreign offices.
4. Foreign offices include branches in foreign countries, Puerto Rico, and in
U.S. territories and possessions; subsidiaries in foreign countries; all offices of
Edge act and agreement corporations wherever located and IBFs.




5. The 'over 100' column refers to those respondents whose assets, as of June
30 of the previous calendar year, were equal to or exceeded $100 million. (These
respondents file the FFIEC 032 or FFIEC 033 call report.) The 'under 100' column
refers to those respondents whose assets, as of June 30 of the previous calendar
year, were less than $100 million. (These respondents filed the FFIEC 034 call
report.)
6. Since the domestic portion of allowances for loan and lease losses and
allocated transfer risk reserve are not reported for banks with foreign offices, the
components of total assets (domestic) will not add to the actual total (domestic).
7. Since the foreign portion of demand notes issued to the U.S. Treasury is not
reported for banks with foreign offices, the components of total liabilities (foreign)
will not add to the actual total (foreign).
8. The definition of 'all other' varies by report form and therefore by column
in this table. See the instructions for more detail.
9. Equity capital is not allocated between the domestic and foreign offices of
banks with foreign offices.
10. Components of assets held in trading accounts are only reported for banks
with total assets of $1 billion or more; therefore the components will not add to the
totals for this item.

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

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

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 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.
The Securities Credit Transactions Handbook con-

tains 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.
