Recent Developments in the
Mortgage and Consumer Credit Markets
JL

This article was prepared by Charles Luckett of
the Board's Division of Research and Statistics.

As the economic downturn deepened in the
opening quarter of 1982, net borrowing by households continued at about the slack pace of late
last year. Activity in housing markets remained
depressed during the first quarter in the face of
near-record interest rates, although net mortgage
borrowing by households increased from the
unusually small amount that occurred during the
fourth quarter of 1981. Consumer outlays for
autos and household durable goods, though rebounding a bit from the fourth-quarter lows,
were still relatively weak, and new extensions of
consumer installment credit during the first quarter again barely exceeded repayments on existing
balances.
The subdued growth in household borrowing
early this year was consistent with trends already
well established in 1981, when mortgage debt
expanded at less than half the record pace of
1978 and consumer debt grew about one-third as
fast as in that year of rapid expansion. The
unusually high and volatile interest rates of the
past two years have contributed to the softness
in the mortgage and consumer credit markets by
making the acquisition of loanable funds more
costly for creditors while subjecting their portfolios of loans to greater capital risk, and by
substantially raising the price of credit to the
ultimate borrower.
In this context, household net borrowing might
have been still weaker during the past two years
but for significant alterations in the terms and
characteristics of credit instruments, changes
made possible in many cases by the broad pattern
of deregulation that has occurred in the financial
markets. Adjustable-rate lending, for instance, has
become more prevalent in response to efforts by
creditors to make yields on their portfolios more



responsive to short-term market interest rates. A
wide variety of techniques, designed to reduce
monthly payments for an initial period in order to
bring them more into line with household incomes,
have surfaced in the mortgage market. These
changes in market practices have been accompanied by substantial shifts in market shares among
lenders; at least temporarily, savings and loan
associations serve a much smaller proportion of
the mortgage market and commercial banks command a diminished share of the consumer credit
market (table 1).
One result of the slower pace of borrowing
during the past two years is that households in
the aggregate have avoided a serious deterioration in their financial positions. With growth in
liabilities held in check, the financial net worth of
households rose on balance during the 1980-81
period, despite an erosion in the value of stock
market holdings and despite the adverse impact
of two economic recessions. Also, by the first
quarter of 1982, debt repayments were taking
their smallest slice of disposable personal income
in six years. Other evidence, however—principally rising delinquency rates on home mortgages—suggests that the economic slowdown
may have begun to create cash-flow problems for
some households.

HOUSEHOLD

BORROWING

The household sector added about $78 billion to
its combined mortgage and installment debt during 1981—slightly less than in 1980 and barely
half the record increase of $153 billion in 1978.
These estimates of household sector borrowing
cover most credit obtained from outside the
sector through home mortgages, credit cards,
sales finance contracts, and personal cash loans;
they exclude an unknown volume of debt transactions within the sector associated with a re-

portedly substantial increase in the frequency of
"takebacks" of first and second mortgages by
sellers of existing homes.
In the first quarter of 1982, household borrowing amounted to little more than $65 billion
(annual rate), an increase of less than 5 percent
per year. Continued anemic growth in real disposable personal income, an unsettled employment outlook, and expenditure of a relatively
large share of income on necessities have discouraged many households from taking on the
debt often necessary to finance investment in
homes and consumer durable goods. Historically
high interest rates, as noted, have also deterred
borrowing, especially through mortgages on
which aggregate credit costs bulk large relative
to the amount of funds advanced.

Mortgage

Markets

Interest rates in mortgage and other credit markets have remained high in recent months despite
a substantial easing of inflation, as expectations
of unusually heavy federal credit demands and
fears of a possible resumption of rapid inflation
have exerted upward pressure on rates. For
example, interest rates on new commitments by
savings and loan associations for 30-year, fixedrate conventional home mortgages (chart 1) generally fluctuated between 11 Vi percent and a
record 1816 percent from August 1981 through
the early months of this year, before slipping
below 17 percent in April.
The disrupting influence of high and unpredictable interest rates has left both lenders and

borrowers reluctant to enter into long-term mortgage arrangements. The prospect of capital loss
in the event of future increases in interest rates
has deterred many investors from expanding
their portfolios of fixed-rate home mortgages. At
the same time, the high absolute level of interest
rates, in conjunction with high home prices, has
erected a formidable barrier to prospective home
buyers.
This situation has motivated market participants to structure financing in a way that attempts to shield lenders from some of the capital
risk as well as to accommodate borrower budget
constraints in determining the size of monthly
loan payments. As a result, adjustable-rate
loans, graduated-payment mortgages, and other
nonstandard instruments have become more
prevalent. In addition, buyers and sellers of
homes have often reduced financing costs by
working out arrangements such as "buydowns,"
assumptions, and seller takebacks of first or
second mortgages. (See David F. Seiders,
"Changing Patterns of Housing Finance," FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN, vol. 6 7 , June 1 9 8 1 ,
pp. 4 6 1 - 7 2 , and Daniel J. Larkins, "Recent

19-36.)

On the lending side, the exposure of traditional
mortgage lenders to the consequences of capital
loss has become more serious during the past
two years. Wide fluctuations in money market
interest rates and the ongoing deregulation of the
liabilities of depository institutions have made
the cost of funds to traditional mortgage lenders
quite volatile. New authority to pay marketrelated rates on short-term accounts has helped
thrift institutions—historically the dominant supplier of home mortgage credit—to retain and
attract deposits. But it has also exacerbated an
earnings squeeze for these institutions whose
assets are concentrated in long-term, fixed-rate
mortgages, many of which were acquired when
interest rates were much lower. By 1981, many
savings and loan associations and mutual savings
banks were operating with a negative spread
between the average yield on their mortgage
portfolios and their average cost of funds. In this
environment, the adjustable-rate mortgage has
been gaining favor with financial institutions as

284

Federal Reserve Bulletin • May 1982

an attractive means of reducing exposure to the
interest rate risk inherent in an imbalance in
maturity structure between their assets and liabilities. Bolstering the appeal of such instruments have been recent changes in regulations
that, coupled with the relaxation of statutory
ceilings on mortgage interest rates, have made
larger rate adjustments possible.
Pension funds and other investors with diversified portfolios have expanded their participation
in mortgage financing in recent years through the
purchase of securities backed by pools of mortgages. This practice has augmented the range of
outlets for mortgage originators that are unable
or unwilling to carry mortgages themselves, and
has thereby broadened the access of home buyers to the capital markets. Investors have found
in federally underwritten pass-through securities
a mortgage-related instrument of high quality and
liquidity that generally has provided a greater
yield than Treasury securities of similar contractual maturity. State and local governments have
increased their holdings of mortgages—usually
granted at subsidized interest rates—in connection with their issuance of tax-exempt mortgage
revenue bonds. Such activity was curtailed last
year, however, after federal legislation capped
the volume of mortgage revenue bonds that
could be offered and established certain other
limitations on their issuance. Tightened regulation was prompted by concern over the loss of
federal tax revenues and the belief that, contrary
to the intent of public policy, middle- and upperincome buyers were benefiting from the program
more than lower-income buyers.
On the borrower side of the market, the sharp
uptrend in interest rates in recent years has had a
sizable impact on the aflfordability of mortgage
credit. During the recent years when inflation
was most rapid, even though real interest rates
may have been stable or falling, upward adjustments in nominal rates substantially increased
monthly payments on standard level-payment
mortgages, while household income tended to
rise more slowly. The ratio of monthly payments
on newly originated conventional home mortgages to average disposable income—a rough
measure of initial payment burden—rose considerably in the late 1970s. More recently, with
mortgage rates still near their peaks and home




prices increasing much less rapidly, this ratio has
remained on a historically high plateau. The
monthly payment of principal and interest on a
conventional first mortgage for the purchase of a
new house averaged more than $850 in the first
quarter of 1982 (chart 1), about 35 percent of
average after-tax income.
In response to the prospect of burdensome
payments on standard mortgages, home buyers
have been cautiously receptive to financing arrangements that help reduce initial monthly payments. Graduated-payment mortgages, on which
payments are set lower at the outset and scaled
up in later years, are one type of loan tailored to
this purpose. These loans have become especially popular under lending programs insured by
the Federal Housing Administration. Institutional mortgage lenders have been reluctant to offer
such mortgages in the conventional segment of
the market, however, partly because of the lower
initial cash flow that the mortgages generate.
Another barrier has been unfavorable tax treatment of interest accrued but not yet received by
lenders when negative amortization occurs.
Home buyers, meanwhile, have become more
reconciled to borrowing through an adjustablerate mortgage and have been able to choose
among a variety of plans that differ in the frequency, size, and cumulative total of allowable
rate adjustments, and in the translation of rate
changes into adjustment of either the monthly
payment or the maturity date. In exchange for
the borrower's acceptance of a larger share of
the risk that interest rates might go higher,
lenders often have been willing to make significant initial concessions on rates. Moreover, an
adjustable-rate mortgage allows the borrower to
benefit in the event of falling interest rates without resort to costly refinancing. Spreads between
fixed- and adjustable-rate loans have generally
been around Vi to 1 percentage point, but in some
cases they have been as wide as 2 percentage
points. Most recently, they appear to have narrowed, perhaps reflecting some shift toward expectations that interest rates will come down.
Increasingly, home sellers and buyers have
taken the initiative in adopting unorthodox financing methods. Home builders, in particular,
have utilized the buy down technique, a device
for graduating mortgage payments so that a bor-

Recent Developments

rower during the initial years of a mortgage
typically makes payments calculated at a belowmarket interest rate. The builder pays to the
lender the difference between the borrower's
payment and a payment based on a market rate.
To some extent, the interest subsidy may be
recaptured in a higher home price; but given the
pressure many builders are under to liquidate
slow-moving inventory carried at high financing
cost, sellers may not be able fully to incorporate
the buy down payment into the selling price.
Even if they could do so, the home buyer's
monthly payments still would be lower initially.
In a recent survey of members by the National
Association of Home Builders, more than half of
the respondents reported using buydowns to
close sales.
"Creative financing" techniques have become
perhaps even more common in the market for
existing homes. For instance, the home seller is
often making payments on an older mortgage
with a comparatively low interest rate that, if
assumed by the buyer, can provide the buyer
with a total financing cost below the current
market. Such an arrangement helps to make
monthly payments more manageable, which may
be a prerequisite for the sale. By providing
lower-cost financing, the seller is usually able to
obtain a higher price for the house. The belowmarket assumable loan is in essence a subsidy
from a third party—the mortgage holder—to the
buyer and the seller of the house. Understandably, a number of mortgage holders have attempted to enforce "due on sale" clauses included in many outstanding conventional mortgages,
but currently more than one-third of the states
restrict the application of such clauses.
Because balances on many older mortgages
represent a small proportion of a home's appreciated value, a buyer usually must obtain financing
in addition to the loan being assumed. In some
cases when a prospective purchaser cannot afford the payments that such supplementary financing would entail at market rates, a home
seller is willing to accept a junior mortgage from
the buyer at a below-market rate. Frequently,
this seller financing is provided at maturities of
three to five years, and often with a large final
(balloon) payment that likely will need to be
refinanced. On occasion, sellers have provided



285

first mortgages on similar terms. Some estimates
place the frequency of seller takebacks of first or
second mortgages at a third or more of sales
transactions on existing homes. The National
Association of Realtors estimated that in January
of this year takebacks were involved in 54 percent of existing-home sales.
Because data on creative financing are not
collected on a continuing comprehensive basis,
the extent of such financing is difficult to assess.
Still, limited surveys and trade reports leave little
doubt that such practices have become more
prevalent in the past two years as interest rates
have reached unprecedented levels. Even with
creative financing, however, overall mortgage
lending has remained well below the levels of the
late 1970s.

Consumer

Credit

Markets

Average interest rates have risen about as much
on consumer loans as on mortgage loans during
the past few years; on new-car loans at commercial banks, for instance, they have climbed from
11 percent in 1978 to 17 percent early this year
(chart 2).
Although reaching unprecedented levels in
1981, interest rates on consumer loans have
increased less rapidly than the cost of funds to
lenders or the net return on many alternative
investment outlets. In part, restrictive statutory
rate ceilings in many states have prevented consumer loan rates from rising to market-determined levels. Many states, however, recognizing
the market hindrance that usury laws present,
have acted to relax these statutes, and some
creditors have redirected their consumer loan
operations to states with more lenient regulations. Higher operating costs, including increased chargeoffs for uncollectable loans involved in personal bankruptcies, have also
reduced the willingness of creditors to make
consumer loans.
Because of the narrower margin between cost
and return on consumer loans, some of the more
diversified lenders shifted resources to other
forms of lending during the 1980-81 period. The
declining attractiveness of consumer loans to
diversified lenders has been evident in the sharp

Net borrowing is at seasonally adjusted annual rates. The finance
rate at banks represents the most common rate charged on 36-month
new-car loans. The finance rate at finance companies is the average
rate charged, regardless of maturity, on new-car loans by the subsidiary companies of the automobile manufacturers.

drop in market share of commercial banks. This
shift is particularly noticeable in the auto credit
category, in which banks have reduced their
holdings by almost $9 billion (or 13 percent) since
the end of 1979, with a resulting decline in their
share of such lending from 58 percent to the
current 47 percent. Finance companies, principally the subsidiaries of the auto manufacturers,
which have a special interest in supporting car
sales, increased their auto credit portfolios by
$18.5 billion during the period, expanding their
market share from 23 percent to 36 percent. The
market share of credit unions dropped about 2
percentage points.
Another aspect of the diminishing appeal of
traditional installment lending is a movement
among consumer finance companies away from
smaller, often unsecured, cash loans toward larger-ticket junior mortgages. Regular reports to the
Federal Reserve reveal that finance companies
held at least $13 billion of second-mortgage debt
at the end of 1981; some unspecified amount may
also have been included in other loan categories.
One major finance company announced in February of this year that it had discontinued nearly



all unsecured lending and would limit credit
almost exclusively to homeowners willing to post
the equity in their homes as collateral. The
amount of junior mortgage receivables at other
creditors is difficult to gauge because no datagathering system currently in use breaks out
junior mortgages separately. Moreover, some
institutions include junior mortgages among their
consumer loan totals, and others classify them as
mortgage loans.
Issuers of credit cards or other types of openend credit have reacted to the sharply higher cost
of funds by taking various steps to improve the
minimal operating profitability that characterizes
many card plans. Perhaps the most widespread
action has been the adoption of periodic (usually,
annual) user fees unrelated to activity within the
accounts. Such fees generally range from $10 to
$20 per year. Several commercial banks initiated
user fees in late 1979, and the trend gained
momentum during the period of credit controls
from March to July of 1980. The requirement
under this program that creditors post a special
non-interest-bearing reserve deposit tied to the
growth in their holdings of certain types of
consumer credit gave creditors both an added
cost incentive to establish annual fees and a
convenient justification for such actions. User
fees, of course, enhance profitability in two
ways: they generate additional income beyond
finance charges, which are often limited by legislated ceilings, and they may induce some consumers to close "convenience" accounts, which
generate little finance-charge income.
Many open-end creditors have sought to boost
profitability by granting larger-than-normal credit lines to preferred-risk account holders. Larger
loan balances enable lenders to economize on the
predominantly fixed cost of servicing an account. A few creditors, including a major brokerage firm and several banks, have established
plans that feature a sizable open-end credit line
secured by a second lien on home equity.
As in mortgage markets, some creditors have
responded to the experience of high and volatile
costs of funds by introducing adjustable-rate
consumer loans. The number of institutions offering such loans is believed to be small, but
growing. Recent evidence from a survey of
households suggests that about a tenth of consumer loans outstanding carry an adjustable in-

Recent Developments

terest rate. Most such plans involve closed-end
loans, but a small number of commercial banks
also have adopted adjustable rates for credit card
accounts. Under one such plan, rates are pegged
at 6.5 percentage points above the twenty-sixweek average yield on six-month Treasury bills
sold at weekly auction, up to a maximum rate of
25 percent.
On the demand side of the consumer credit
market, high interest rates probably have been a
lesser deterrent to borrowing for consumption
goods and services than high mortgage rates
have been for home purchases. Because the
amounts financed are considerably smaller and
the maturities shorter than on the typical first
mortgage, a given change in the interest rate
affects monthly payments on consumer loans
less than on mortgages. At typical loan sizes and
maturities, a rise of 1 percentage point in the
interest rate increases the monthly auto loan
payment about $3, compared with $40 or more
on a mortgage.
At the margin, of course, some households
have likely deferred consumption expenditures
because financing costs were considered too
high: in recent consumer attitudinal surveys,
respondents have frequently cited financing
costs as a deterrent to major purchases. Particularly with general price inflation slowing at a time

1. Joint effect of concurrent changes in factors determining monthly
payments.

when nominal interest rates have remained high,
any buy-in-advance motivation for borrowing
should have diminished considerably. Nevertheless, sluggish growth in personal income, consumer caution in the face of rising unemployment, and in some cases high product prices
probably have been among the more dominant
factors restraining expenditures and associated
financing for big-ticket items.
For new-car loans, for instance, a rise in
interest rates of about AVi percentage points
since the end of 1979 has accounted for only
about a sixth of the estimated increase in average
monthly loan payment; rising car prices have
accounted for the bulk of the payment increase
(tables 2 and 3). In the mid-1970s, when car
prices had also risen sharply, a gradual shift from
36 to 48 months as the standard maturity helped
to hold monthly payments down and to cushion
consumer resistance to the higher auto prices.
With little change in the average auto loan maturities during the past two years, the full impact of
increases in auto prices and interest rates has
been incorporated in the monthly payment.
To a great extent, the weak growth in consumer credit since 1979 can be viewed as the normal
by-product of a general economic contraction. A
common pattern is that the rate of growth in
consumer credit reaches a high a few months
before a business cycle peak, and becomes negative a few months into the ensuing recession. In
the second quarter of 1980, under the impact of
credit controls as well as a recession, consumer
credit declined at an annual rate of 8 percent, but
a contraction of 2 to 3 percent in the midst of a
recession is more common. In the current economic downturn through the first quarter of

288

Federal Reserve Bulletin • May 1982

1982, growth of consumer credit has remained
positive by a small margin, partly because consumer credit never reached a phase of doubledigit growth after the 1980 recession; with only a
moderate buildup of debt during the expansive
stages after the summer of 1980, subsequent debt
liquidation has been more moderate, too.

HOUSEHOLD

FINANCIAL

CONDITION

While households as a group were slowing their
borrowing during the past two years, they also
stepped up their acquisition of assets. As a
result, their estimated financial net worth increased on balance, counter to the usual pattern
during years marked by recession. In fact, financial net worth—consisting of financial assets held
by households less their aggregate liabilities—
increased in 1980 at the fastest rate in a decade
(22 percent), before a decline in stock market
values retarded the advance during 1981 and in
the first quarter of this year. By comparison, in
the early stages of recession in 1974 and 1970,
financial net worth of households fell sharply.

their holdings of both tangible and financial as3. Net worth of household sector

Financial net worth is total financial assets less total liabilities of the

accounts and converted to a per capita basis. Total household net

structures, land, and certain other tangible assets.




sets, also rose during the past two years, although its advance was curtailed by substantially
slower growth in the estimated value of houses,
the largest component of tangible assets.
Perhaps the best way to view movements in
financial and total net worth over several cycles
is to express these measures in constant dollars,
adjusted for population growth (chart 3). From
this perspective, the relative strength in household net worth during 1980-81 compared with
1973-74 is readily apparent. The chart also underscores the divergence between total and financial net worth in real terms that occurred
during the 1970s as a result of increased investment in houses, and the appreciation in value of
houses and land at a faster rate than the general
price level.
The slow pace of debt expansion during the
past two years has caused the ratio of annual
mortgage and installment debt repayments to
current disposable personal income to drop to its
lowest level in six years (chart 4). This measure
of debt burden suggests that households are, on
average, in a relatively sound debt-management
position, although several factors impair comparisons of this ratio over time. A trend toward
longer payback periods on consumer debt, for
instance, has tended to restrain the growth of
repayments relative to income while boosting the
total stock of debt outstanding at a given time.
Use of credit cards as a convenient substitute for
cash or check payments, on the other hand, has
elevated measured repayments of installment
debt. Even though between one-third and onehalf of cardholders use credit cards mainly for
convenience as a transaction medium, paying
bills in full without a finance charge, all extensions and repayments on credit cards are included in the consumer credit aggregates.
The debt-burden ratio and balance-sheet statistics share an additional limitation common to
most aggregate statistics: they provide no indication of how assets and debts are distributed
among households. For any given degree of
aggregate debt burden, for instance, obligations
could be held disproportionately by the most
vulnerable households or spread among a large
number of households better able to handle them
comfortably.

Consumer debt repayments include prepayments as well as scheduled payments of principal and interest on installment loans. Mortgage
debt repayments are Federal Reserve staff estimates of scheduled
payments of principal and interest on debt secured by one-unit
homeowner properties. DPI is disposable personal income.

financial difficulties include loan delinquency
rates and bankruptcy filings. Delinquencies on
consumer installment loans fell sharply during
most of 1981, after peaking around the third
quarter of 1980. The average delinquency rate on
various types of installment loans at commercial
banks had fallen to the low end of its nine-year
range by the third quarter of 1981, before rising a
bit in the fourth (chart 5). Home mortgage delinquencies, on the other hand, trended upward
from mid-1980 through early this year, after
holding at relatively low levels in 1979 and in the
first part of 1980.
The improvement in consumer loan delinquencies and the contrasting deterioration in mortgage delinquencies during the recovery from the
1980 recession—a pattern that also occurred
after the 1973-75 recession—reflect in part the
widely differing maturity structures of the two
types of debt. Because consumer debt is of much
shorter maturity on average, adoption of stringent credit standards by lenders and belt-tightening efforts of households can more quickly redress a buildup of "problem" loans. Supply
conditions in consumer credit markets were generally accommodative through 1978, but became
progressively tighter from early 1979 through the
fall of 1981, primarily in response to rising costs
of funds relative to consumer finance rates. Because maturities on consumer loans generally



289

run three to four years, higher-risk pre-1979
loans by now account for a small share of consumer credit portfolios. In contrast, most home
mortgage loans made under earlier more relaxed
credit standards are still on the books, with much
of the principal still outstanding.
Other factors, of course, have operated to
push up delinquency rates on home mortgages.
Aside from the usual impact of sluggish income
growth and worsening unemployment, the persistence of high interest rates has intensified
mortgage payment difficulties. Home buyers
who obtained long-term conventional mortgages
in late 1979 at a then-record interest rate of 13
percent, hoping to refinance later at lower rates,
have been disappointed. Those who recently
have had to refinance maturing "rollover" mortgages may also find it hard to make timely
payments on new higher-rate loans. At this
point, not enough rollover mortgages or balloon
payments have come due for them to be a major
problem, but the number of such loans needing
to be refinanced is expected to increase during
the next several years.
Personal bankruptcies have soared since the
end of 1979. While bankruptcies normally rise
during an economic slowdown, the upsurge in
filings in 1980 far exceeded the normal recessionrelated increase. Most of the additional increase
appears to be traceable to sweeping changes in
the National Bankruptcy Act effective in late

1979 that made bankruptcy less onerous for
debtors, particularly its provisions for broader
protection of assets from liquidation than generally had been available under previously applicable state regulation. The uptrend in bankruptcies
slowed considerably in 1981, however, suggesting that the legal changes may have led to a onetime adjustment in the level of bankruptcies
rather than a pattern of continuous sharp year-to-




year increases. Moreover, some states have exercised a right under the federal law to reimpose
their own set of property exemptions, which
most likely has helped to retard the advance.
Nevertheless, the earlier surge in bankruptcies,
together with concern over possible future increases, has prompted more conservative lending practices, such as the growing emphasis on
securing loans by real estate.

Staff Studies
The staffs of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and of the Federal
Reserve Banks undertake studies that cover a
wide range of economic and financial subjects.
In some instances the Federal Reserve System
finances similar studies by members of the academic profession.
From time to time, papers that are of general
interest to the professions and to others are
selected for the Staff Studies series. These papers are summarized—or, occasionally, printed

Prepared as a staff paper in early 1981

Since 1977 the staff of the Federal Reserve Board
has been intensively engaged in identifying measures of money most useful in the analysis of
economic and financial developments and in the
implementation of monetary policy. This effort
resulted in the adoption and publication of a new
set of monetary aggregates. It also spawned
extensive work on the rigorous use of economic
aggregation and index-number theory, aimed at
the construction of a later generation of monetary aggregates based upon the Divisia quantity
index, rather than upon the current, simplesummation procedure. This report explains the
concepts, definitions, methodological procedures, and data sources used in the Divisia
measures of the monetary aggregates, which are
used by the Board staff on an experimental basis
in conjunction with the published measures.
While regular monthly updates of the Divisia
monetary aggregates currently are available to
the public only upon request, this staff study
provides tables and charts of the historical data.



The paper is organized as follows: first, a ,
short, nontechnical discussion of the underlying
conceptual issues; second, a "cookbook" of the
data sources and the formulas for constructing
the Divisia index; and finally, a compendium of
historical series.
The new index numbers result from an application of techniques that have been in the literature
for decades, and the reasons for preferring Divisia to simple-sum quantity aggregation are well
established in aggregation theory. The authors'
research has demonstrated the direct applicability of that theory to aggregation of monetary
components, and the empirical results strongly
suggest that these new measures of the monetary
aggregates are a valuable alternative tool for
analyzing monetary policy actions and their impact on economic and financial developments.
With research on the new Divisia monetary
index nearing completion, this staff study offers
the historical data and interpretation to potential
users outside the Federal Reserve System.

Production of nondurable consumer goods
changed little. Auto assemblies, at an annual rate
of 5.1 million units, have increased more than 40
percent from their extraordinarily low rate in
January, but they remain depressed compared
with earlier periods. Output of business equipment declined 1.6 percent further in April and

most of it since the beginning of 1982. Production
of industrial equipment generally continued to
contract in April, and an especially large decline
occurred in building and mining equipment because of reduced oil well drilling. Production
both of construction and of business supplies
also was reduced further in April.
Materials output declined 1.0 percent in April,
and was nearly 12 percent below its peak last
July; most of that large decline occurred before
the turn of the year. In April, a further sharp
contraction occurred in production of durable
materials—particularly metals and equipment




parts. Production of nondurable materials edged
up a little, while energy materials receded 0.9
percent further.
In industry groupings, manufacturing output
was reduced 0.4 percent in April, reflecting declines in both durables and nondurables. Sharp
decreases occurred in primary metals, fabricated
metal products, and nonelectrical machinery,
while production of motor vehicles and parts
increased. Mining output was reduced more than
3 percent, reflecting cutbacks in metal mining,
coal mining, and oil and gas extraction. Utility
output changed little.

Statements to Congress
Statement by J. Charles Partee, Member, Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
before the Subcommittee on Telecommunications, Consumer Protection, and Finance of the
Committee on Energy and Commerce, U.S.
House of Representatives, April 23, 1982.
I appreciate the opportunity to appear before this
subcommittee to discuss important issues related
to the regulation of financial markets. Although
these hearings were occasioned by the pending
reauthorization of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the associated legislation proposed to implement the jurisdictional
agreement reached between that agency and the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), I
think that in any case these hearings would be
quite appropriate at this time. The extremely
rapid development of financial futures markets
and the likely introduction of additional options
and futures contracts highlight the need for the
Congress to review again the purposes and structure of federal regulation of these markets. I will
be addressing some of these issues today, with
particular emphasis on margin regulations because that is an area in which the Congress has
given the Federal Reserve considerable direct
authority.

BACKGROUND

Our financial system has long offered participants a chance to hedge or speculate by entering
into contracts for future delivery of a financial
instrument. Until around 10 years ago, trading in
such contracts was conducted over the counter,
with participation generally limited to small numbers of sophisticated investors. Since the early
1970s, however, exchange trading has been established first for options on stock and later for
futures on a wide range of debt securities, foreign
currencies, and now stock price indexes. Trading



in these instruments has increased rapidly,
spawning proposals to expand futures trading to
contracts keyed to an ever-widening array of
securities and to establish markets in options
contracts on debt instruments, on indexes of
stock prices, and even on futures contracts themselves.
The growth of options and futures markets
reflects a number of different forces. The exchanges, for example, have shown great ingenuity in devising contracts to fulfill the public's
desire to reduce risk or to match wits with the
market in projecting future movements in interest rates, stock prices, or foreign exchange values. More fundamentally perhaps, the new instruments have found a receptive audience
because of the volatility of the economic and
financial environment in recent years, which has
enhanced the desirability of hedging against price
and interest rate movements and increased the
potential for profits (and also losses) from speculation. I believe that the recent volatility is likely
to subside as the economy successfully moves
through the difficult transition to a more sustainable, noninflationary basis for growth. But even
so, these new markets are likely to be a permanent feature of our financial landscape, and questions remain as to their appropriate regulation
and to the contribution they make to the effective
operation of the securities and capital markets.
In considering the possible effects of the wide
array of new financial contracts, it is important
to remember that these instruments are similar in
a number of fundamental ways, although their
specific provisions may differ. Futures, options,
and options on futures all are ways of transferring the risk of future price changes. They are
sufficiently similar so that it is generally possible
to determine how the prices of two such instruments keyed to the same underlying security
ought to behave relative to each other and relative to price changes in the underlying instrument. Some market participants follow these

295

price relationships carefully, looking for opportunities to make profits if they get out of line. As
a result of the activity of such arbitragers, these
markets are tied very closely to one another, and
developments in any one market will very quickly be transmitted to markets for related instruments.

REGULATORY

STRUCTURE

Given the fundamental similarity of these markets and the economic forces binding them together, logic and sound public policy would seem
to dictate that their regulation be comparable and
parallel in fundamental respects. Of course, this
need not apply to all regulation; some aspects
must be keyed to the particular characteristics of
the market or instrument involved, and regulation can serve different purposes in different
markets. But if common features of related markets are subject to significantly different rules,
the effective level of regulation will tend toward
the weakest level. Attempts to protect a particular market sector from the effects of certain
actions or to discourage certain practices are less
likely to be successful in the absence of comparable rules in other markets linked by arbitrage to
the protected sector.
Tendencies in this regard will be strengthened
by the propensity for some market participants
to seek out the less-regulated market, if the
regulation is seen as constraining actions in any
significant way or adding to costs. In this way,
the less-protected market will be seen to have a
competitive advantage, and pressures will be
brought to bear to reduce regulation in other
sectors. Rules and regulations thus can be a
competitive factor, and their function in protecting the public interest may receive insufficient
weight.
One way to promote evenhanded and coordinated regulation of related markets would be to
place them under the same agency. The single
regulator could balance the rules in the different
markets to ensure that both competitive balance
and the public interest were being served. Vesting authority in a single regulator is not essential,
however. Similar results could be achieved when
more than one agency is involved, provided that



the Congress endows the agencies with parallel
regulatory powers that are then exercised in a
coordinated way. In addition, the agencies must
cooperate in surveillance and enforcement activities across related markets, as has been occurring increasingly for securities and related instruments.
Thus, the kind of division of responsibilities
agreed to by the CFTC and SEC seems reasonable and workable. In many respects SEC and
CFTC regulation of their respective markets is
already comparable. For example, both agencies
have basically similar rules requiring the firms
they supervise to meet minimum capitalization
standards; this helps to assure investors and
others doing business with the firms that they
can meet their obligations. At the same time, the
agencies have moved to enhance coordination
and cooperation, including the development of
procedures for interchange of information crucial
to surveillance of markets. The Federal Reserve
and the Treasury also share in this information as
it affects markets of interest to them.
But in some important aspects of market regulation—especially margin requirements and rules
designed to protect the interests of retail customers—notable differences between the two agencies remain that are not entirely related to dissimilarities in the basic nature of the markets
they regulate. In these areas, the SEC (along
with the Federal Reserve in the case of margins)
has fairly stringent rules or exercises close oversight of exchange procedures, while the CFTC
takes a different approach. The CFTC, constrained in part by its enabling legislation, places
greater reliance on the judgment of participants
to protect their own interests and less emphasis
on the potential for more general disruptions
stemming from difficulties in one of the markets
it supervises. The accord between the two agencies does not affect this difference in regulatory
outlook.
The degree to which government regulation of
financial markets ought to constrain private participants is largely a matter of judgment. In
general, the Board's view is that in a market
economy the presumption ought always to favor
maximum scope for private decisionmaking,
with government involvement justified only
when it is shown to be needed to protect the

296

Federal Reserve Bulletin • May 1982

general public well-being. Because the financial
markets play an important role in determining
the level and composition of economic activity,
the public has a strong interest in ensuring that
they continue to function smoothly. Most of our
country's savings pass through financial markets, encouraged in part by the existence of
liquid markets that make possible rapid changes
in asset portfolios. The markets serve to channel
these savings to business and household borrowers to finance capital formation, housing, and
consumer purchases. They are an important
channel through which monetary policy impulses
are transmitted to the economy and the forum in
which federal and state and local governments
must borrow to finance deficits and fund capital
projects.
A wide variety of investors have been attracted to the new derivative instruments—options or
futures—to hedge or speculate. And the range of
participants is likely to widen even further as
additional stock index futures contracts become
available to be traded. The greater numbers of
people and growing sums of money involved
increase the potential that difficulties in one
market may have effects extending beyond that
sector. This possibility certainly was illustrated
by events in the silver market, which was being
dominated by clearly speculative activity unrelated to the metal's use as an industrial commodity when the 1980 crisis very nearly had serious
consequences for financial markets more generally. This situation suggests a significant role for
governmental regulation and oversight in financial futures markets—although such regulation
should be kept to the minimum necessary to
safeguard the public interest.
Moreover, the risk that rules established by
private market participants may not adequately
protect against market disruption may be greater
at this time, when the markets are in a state of
competitive flux. New instruments are being
introduced constantly, and the rivalry between
the exchanges for business is especially intense
because experience suggests that the first exchange to establish successful trading in contracts on a particular security or commodity has
an advantage over later entrants. An exchange
would not deliberately establish rules that expose its members to greatly enlarged risks, of



course, but the possibility exists that it might be
tempted to shade its standards at the inception of
market trading in order to gain the initial advantage. This possibility reinforces the present need
for close oversight and review by federal regulatory agencies of exchange rules and practices.

MARGIN

REQUIREMENTS

Margin requirements are an area in which these
public policy concerns are sharply drawn. Margin requirements are the one major type of
market regulation the CFTC is explicitly barred
from exercising or even overseeing, unless it can
show an emergency already exists, and such
requirements are therefore an aspect of private
rulemaking especially subject to competitive
pressures. Moreover, this situation contrasts
sharply with the securities markets, in which the
Federal Reserve sets initial margin requirements
on equities and the SEC has the power to review
the maintenance margins of the self-regulatory
organizations. Thus, margin requirements are
one prominent aspect of regulation in which
similar instruments receive widely divergent
treatment.
In part, this divergence reflects differences in
the purposes of margins in the different markets.
In commodities markets, margin deposits are
viewed as a performance bond—they are put up
to guarantee that those who enter into the contract can meet its terms. Margin deposits generally are equal to maximum price movements
expected over a day or so because at the end of
each day payments are made between clearinghouses and the firms to reflect gains and losses
on each futures contract; gains generally are
passed through to customers, and losses are met
from customer margin deposits. If these payments reduce the cushion provided by margin
deposits to levels below the minimum margin
requirement, the loser can be called on to put up
additional cash on short notice or risk being sold
out. Because the exchanges and the firms constituting them are presumed to have the strongest
interest in preventing defaults on contracts and
the greatest knowledge of what is necessary to
accomplish this, their judgment is relied upon to
set the proper level of margins.

Statements

In securities markets, exchanges set maintenance margin levels to assure adequate protection for the creditor—equivalent in concept to
the function performed by margins in the futures
market—but the Federal Reserve establishes initial margin requirements to further the accomplishment of other objectives as well. The Congress, in establishing the Federal Reserve's
authority in this area, cited concerns about the
diversion of credit from other uses, protecting
investors by limiting leveraging possibilities, and
preventing speculative bubbles in stock prices
resulting from credit-financed purchases or sales
to meet margin calls.
To be sure, more than just regulatory differences exist between futures margins and those in
securities markets—especially cash markets. For
example, the former need not normally involve
traditional loans, although they may do so indirectly through borrowing to meet margins or use
of bank letters of credit. But in one important
sense they are quite similar. In both cases the
margins serve to limit the size of position that
can be taken with a given amount of resources—
dictating how much cash or collateral must be
put up to participate in later price movements of
the instrument. And by setting limits on the
leveraging possibilities, margins affect the degree
of risk that can be assumed by market participants. The function of margins in the futures and
options markets is closely analogous, which is
not surprising in light of the similarity of the two
instruments.
This basic resemblance makes it necessary to
evaluate margins in different markets with respect to their effect on leveraging possibilities.
To the extent that control of leverage is an
important goal of margins, failure to have roughly comparable regulation will tend to undermine
the effects of the more stringent requirements, as
well as create artificial competitive imbalances
between markets. The development of such a
situation with respect to stocks and instruments
based on stocks would be of particular concern
to the Federal Reserve, which has concentrated
its margin regulation on equities markets. In
recognition of this potential, the Federal Reserve
has asserted its authority over margins on futures
contracts based on stock price indexes. Such a
contract is in many respects functionally similar



to Congress

297

to an option, and if leveraging possibilities were
allowed to expand substantially beyond those
already available in equities, such expansion
would tend to reduce any effect the Federal
Reserve's margin requirements were having in
achieving their statutory objectives of protecting
stock market investors or preventing speculative
movements in stock prices. Investors in equityrelated instruments could assume much more
risky positions, and arbitrage between markets
would quickly cause any speculative impulses
originating in futures markets to be reflected in
the stock market itself.
We have not yet mandated a margin level for
futures on stock because the exchanges have
agreed to keep their margins at what appears to
be a reasonable level, but we have taken steps to
begin putting into place the regulatory framework for possible future action. We are prepared
to take appropriate action to assure that our
margin requirement structure is not undermined
or that differing margins do not create serious
competitive imbalances among markets. While
not essential, it would be helpful in this regard
for the Congress to clarify the authority of the
Federal Reserve with respect to setting margins
on equity-related instruments, thus avoiding unnecessary controversy and possible litigation.
The willingness of the Federal Reserve to use
its margin-setting authority on stock index futures, together with the lack of evidence that
trading in these contracts may cause harm to the
economy and the stated intent of all concerned
parties to monitor the development of these
markets carefully, seems to us to argue against
the imposition of a moratorium on this contract,
as proposed in H.R. 5515. At the same time, I
would note that several of us on the Board have
some skepticism about the economic utility of
this instrument, and we will be monitoring closely its use, activity, and possible effects on the
stock market.
The Federal Reserve has some margin authority over private debt securities, but in general we
have not actively exercised it in recent years. We
do not have authority over margins on securities
issued by the federal or state and local governments, or their agencies. But federal oversight in
these areas is still exercised by the SEC, which
since 1975 has been empowered to review the

298

Federal Reserve Bulletin • May 1982

rules of the exchanges and other self-regulatory
organizations—including maintenance of margin
standards—and to forestall the implementation
of those it feels are inadequate. The Congress
gave the SEC this veto power to ensure that the
rules of the self-regulatory organizations were in
themselves adequate to protect the working of
the market—to minimize the chance of failure to
perform in one part of the market and to limit the
potential that any difficulties might spill over to
other participants or markets. The decisionmaking power remains with the self-regulatory organizations, but the public interest in exchange
decisions is protected by the SEC review process.
This fact suggests a model of use for margin
regulation in financial futures markets. The Congress might consider granting some federal agency similar oversight powers over exchange margin practices in financial futures. Given the
current structure of regulation, that authority
could be vested in the CFTC, to be exercised in
coordination with the SEC to assure that the
margins required in various related markets are
fair to the participants in those markets and to
protect the public interest in sound, smoothly
functioning credit markets.

REMAINING

ISSUES

Even if this structure of regulation were to be
established, a number of questions remain in the
area of margin regulation. The Federal Reserve
Bank of New York recently completed a comprehensive study of the Board's implementation of

Statement by Paul A. Volcker, Chairman, Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System,
before the Subcommittee on Monopolies and
Commercial Law of the Committee on the Judiciary, U.S. House of Representatives,
May 5,
1982.
Mr. Chairman, your invitation to discuss the
important issue of fiscal discipline, and specifically House Joint Resolution 350 to amend the
Constitution to encourage budgetary balance,



initial margin requirements in equity markets.
The study noted the lack of evidence that our
regulations had had any appreciable impact on
stock price movements, although definitive conclusions in this area are not possible. It also
made a number of suggestions for simplifying the
regulations and reducing their burden on market
participants, many of which we are now in the
process of implementing. The New York Federal
Reserve study, however, did not deal with several important aspects of margins, such as the need
for federal oversight of maintenance margins for
market protection purposes or of the role of
margins in futures markets. Nor did it address a
number of other questions concerning the safeguarding of market mechanisms—such as the
strength of the clearing corporations. We intend
to discuss these important issues with our sister
agencies and will report any further conclusions
to you. Depending on the outcome of such an
examination, the Congress may want to redefine
the purposes of margin regulations, especially in
light of the numerous changes in financial market
practices and regulations since 1934. Such a
decision, in turn, might raise questions concerning the appropriate agency or agencies to administer the regulations. If the market protection
function of margins were to be given primary
emphasis, for example, consideration might be
given to transferring margin authority from the
Federal Reserve to the SEC and the CFTC.
These agencies, after all, have the detailed expertise in the functioning of markets under their
supervision and are responsible for implementing
and monitoring other rules governing market and
investor protection.
•

has left me with mixed feelings. We face the hard
fact that we have had inappropriately large budgetary deficits during much of the postwar period—and so far we have failed to resolve a truly
threatening budgetary gap in the years ahead.
Consequently, an effort to correct the apparent
bias toward deficits in the political process seems
timely. At the same time, I can only be impressed by the difficulty of attempting to write a
constitutional provision to induce discipline otherwise lacking, a provision that will serve us in

Statements

fair weather and foul, and in economic circumstances that can be only dimly foreseen.
I must at the start emphasize that the questions
we face today about the size of the federal
sector, the composition of spending, and the
means of financing that spending require resolution long before the time-consuming process of
amending the Constitution can be completed. I
have often expressed my concern about the
critical need to break the inflationary momentum
that came to grip the nation in the 1970s and have
spoken of the indispensable role that monetary
policy has to play in that effort. At the same time,
I have emphasized the difficulties that result
from placing too heavy a burden on monetary
policy alone in the fight on inflation—difficulties
manifested in exceptionally heavy pressures on
financial markets and interest rates, and therefore on credit-dependent sectors of the economy.
Current developments reflect needed progress
on the inflation front, but they only reinforce my
concern about imbalance in our policy approach—an imbalance reflected in prospective
deficits far larger, when economic activity is
taken into account, than in the past. In the
absence of needed corrective action, potential
strains on credit markets implicit in the prospective budgetary picture call into question the
assumption of healthy economic recovery and
growth, upon which those budget projections are
based. And those prospective deficits are a contributing factor in today's high interest rates, as
lenders and borrowers "discount" their impact
on credit market conditions.
The Judiciary Committee is, of course, not the
body to address this serious immediate problem.
But I can only urge that deliberations on a
constitutional amendment to provide for a balanced budget not become a kind of substitute or
surrogate for the action needed, here and now, to
deal with the pressing current situation. The
debate will serve us ill to the extent that it diverts
attention from the present need.
I can only be sympathetic with the basic
objectives of the amendment proposed in H.J.
Res. 350. A budget surplus has been realized
only once in the past two decades and only eight
times in the past fifty years. The deficits of the
Great Depression and World War II were, by and
large, both unavoidable and, in the circum


to Congress

299

stances, justified. Those particular circumstances, as well as developments in economic
doctrine, had the effect of discarding the unwritten, but operational, rule that budgets should
always be balanced. In the process, some of the
traditional disciplines on debt financing were
lost. During World War I, the Congress put aside
the practice of separately authorizing each Treasury debt issue. The "debt ceiling" authorizations that followed have failed to focus debate
and to provide strong discipline, partly because
that legislation, by its nature, comes at the end of
the fiscal process when payments already committed must be made. The budgetary reforms
instituted in recent years do seem to me constructive in forcing more attention to the budgetary aggregates and the relationships among
them, but these reforms do not appear to have
effectively dealt with the deficit problem.
In economic theory, purely discretionary fiscal
policy would not be expected to result in deficits
following one after another, in good times and
bad, in war and in peace. Yet, that is what has
occurred in the past two decades. The results
seem to me apparent. Over time, inflationary
pressures or the crowding out of private investment, or both, are the economic costs of inappropriate deficits.
At a different level, one can legitimately question whether loss of a balanced budget discipline
has not permitted us to escape hard, but necessary, choices between high- and low-priority
federal spending, at a cost of efficiency and
excessive growth of government. Such a condition is not an argument that smaller government
expenditures are always better than larger ones,
or that "efficiency" should not sometimes give
way to widely shared social objectives. The point
is that a balance has to be struck, and it should be
struck consciously, with awareness of the costs.
If the realization or presumption exists that government expenditures over time must be covered
by taxes, we are likely to have a clearer "marketlike" test of whether a contemplated expenditure
really reflects national priorities.
In other words, I share the feeling of the
supporters of H.J. Res. 350 that the political
process as it has worked in practice, in the
absence of a strong presumption that budgets
should be balanced, suggests some bias toward

300

Federal Reserve Bulletin • May 1982

more spending and less taxation—in other
words, toward budgetary deficits—than is
healthy for the economy or for governmental
efficiency. The cost has been obscured, but it is
real: a bias toward inflation, toward too little
private investment, and possibly toward a federal sector that is inefficiently large. In principle,
economic analysis and wise economic advice
could counterbalance a political bias toward deficits. But economics is far from being exact.
Economists differ in their policy prescriptions. If
plausible economic reasoning can be found to
rationalize existing political bias, or if dispassionate economics merely gives ambiguous results in many instances, the political bias is likely
to prevail.
At the same time, I cannot argue that budgetary balance is always appropriate. The challenge, therefore, is to establish rules or presumptions that will provide discipline but not a
straitjacket. That is, as I understand it, precisely
what the proponents of H.J. Res. 350 seek. In my
judgment, they have come closer to that goal
than earlier drafters of a constitutional amendment. But I am left with an uneasy feeling that a
number of unresolved problems remain.
For example, would this amendment really be
of help in the current situation, when a sizable
deficit for a few years ahead appears inevitable?
Somehow, a 60 percent vote of the entire House
and Senate would need to be marshaled for a
deficit budget. In concept, the need to marshal
that vote would result in pressure to strike a
compromise at a smaller projected deficit. But
we know convictions about particular parts of
the budget are deeply held, and the process of
reconciling those differences might be even more
difficult, leading to an impasse in adopting a
budget. I am left with a question about how the
impasse might be resolved if a strong-willed
majority could not command the necessary 60
percent vote.
In assessing the workability of the proposed
amendment, I suspect much would depend upon
the nature and practicality of arrangements to
enforce the budgetary decision. A lack of specification exists—not only in the amendment itself
but in any related material of which I am aware—
of the procedures through which the Congress
and the President shall ensure that actual outlays



remain within budget totals. The point has added
force when we recall the large proportion of
federal expenditures made pursuant to entitlements, cost-plus contracts, interest obligations,
and so forth. The sponsors may well have in
mind such procedures as altered handling of
budget rescissions or line-item vetoes. Indeed,
such provisions, on their own merits, could go
far in correcting some of the political biases now
affecting fiscal policy. But such procedures to
carry out the mandate of the amendment would
appear to have implications for the delicate issue
of the balance between executive and legislative
powers. I have no special expertise on these
issues, and they go well beyond the purview of
the Federal Reserve. However, they do seem to
me to be worth consideration before the fundamental step of amending the Constitution is
undertaken.
I also have reservations about other parts of
the amendment. Section 2, which limits the
growth of revenues in the absence of an affirmative vote of the Congress, could have some
peculiar implications. There is no obvious economic logic to limiting the growth rate of revenues for budget purposes in a fiscal year to the
rate of change of income during the previous
calendar year, which might be a year of recession or expansion. Moreover, many specific tax
structures would give rise to levels of revenue
differing from the amount contemplated by the
formulation in section 2, thus requiring annual
reaffirmations of the tax structure. The consequent requirement for relatively more frequent
votes on the overall tax structure, even if only to
reaffirm it, could increase uncertainty about the
tax structure in ways that would not be helpful in
terms of the continuity of the tax structure and
private planning. This section does have the
advantage of reducing somewhat the potential
problem of relying on "biased" revenue estimates. However, that problem can be approached more directly, as it is to some extent
today with "competing" estimates by an administration and by a nonpartisan Congressional
Budget Office.
Section 4, which pertains to federal-state fiscal
relations, seems, on the one hand, to provide a
needed safeguard against the "exploitation" of
state budgets for federal purposes, but, on the

Statements

other hand, would seem to pose some potential
hazards to the formulation of new state-federal
programs that might, on their merits, be sensible.
I gather that this section has so far received less
scrutiny than others, and I urge you to give it
careful consideration.
In summary, I recognize and applaud the serious efforts that both the House and the Senate
a/e directing to the important issue of how to
establish firmer fiscal discipline. I would agree
that the record of the federal budget for quite a
few past years, and the critical federal deficit
prospects for the future, suggest that we should
no longer dismiss out of hand a constitutional
approach. But I would continue to approach the
question of a constitutional amendment with
great caution; the Constitution cannot, and
should not, be changed lightly to meet consider-




to Congress

301

ations or situations that are transient in nature,
or to "lock in" a particular economic doctrine. I
am not personally satisfied that the proposal, as
it stands, is fully workable. Nor do I believe that
the matter of a constitutional amendment, given
the years that must elapse before it became
effective, is nearly so urgent as resolving constructively the current budgetary impasse.
In a sense, the current budget debate seems to
me to provide an acid test of the will of the
Congress—and of the nation—with regard to
budgetary responsibility. A vote for a future
amendment seems to me not nearly so meaningful as action now—and cannot substitute for it. If
we fail that challenge, the case for a constitutional amendment seems to me vastly strengthened.
But, for the moment, I would rather see us meet
the budgetary test directly.

OPERATIONS:
OF INCENTIVE
PRICING

REGULATION

The Federal Reserve Board has announced a
plan to end incentive pricing of automated clearinghouse services by 1985.
To achieve a smooth transition, the Board will
increase its automated clearinghouse (ACH)
prices in stages as follows: New ACH prices to
be announced later this year will amount to 40
percent of the current costs plus the private
sector adjustment factor. This ratio will rise to 60
percent in 1983, 80 percent in 1984, and 100
percent in 1985.
Announcement of the program came in a letter
from Lyle E. Gramley, Member, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, to Senator John H. Chafee, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Consumer Affairs of the Senate Banking,
Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, April
26, 1982.
When the Board originally established its pricing policies after passage of the Monetary Control Act in 1980, the automated clearinghouse
was still in the developmental stage and needed
encouragement to grow. Consequently, the
Board established an incentive pricing policy to
encourage growth to the point at which economies of scale could be realized.
In making the announcement, the Board said
the development of business plans in the private
sector should benefit from knowing when fullcost pricing of ACH services by the Federal
Reserve will begin.
The Board determined that incentive pricing
should be phased out rather than ended abruptly
because an abrupt change in ACH prices could
very well cause many ACH users to revert to
paper checks. This would jeopardize the future
of a cost-effective and efficient service. One
necessary ingredient in the private sector's determining whether to provide ACH services is a
sufficient volume to allow potential operators to
offer the service at an attractive price.



M:

COMMENTARY

POLICY

The staff of the Federal Reserve Board has made
public in final form a commentary on the Board's
Regulation M (Consumer Leasing).
The commentary replaces outstanding individual staff and Board interpretations of the regulation, formerly part of Regulation Z (Truth in
Lending), and applies and interprets the requirements of Regulation M. Good faith compliance
with the commentary affords protection from
civil liability under the Truth in Lending Act.
Compliance with the commentary becomes
mandatory on October 1, 1982. Until then, lessors may comply with Regulation M or with the
previous version of the Board's rules on consumer leasing that was contained in Regulation Z.
The commentary attempts to make interpretations and applications more general than has
been the case with previous interpretations and
in that way to provide adequate guidance for
compliance with the regulation while avoiding
unnecessary detail. It adopts the substance of
most previous individual leasing interpretations.
The commentary will be updated periodically.
The commentary in final form differs in numerous instances from the proposals published in
October 1981. A number of these differences
may be found in the introductory material to the
commentary.
The complete text of the commentary may be
obtained from the Federal Reserve Board and
the Federal Reserve Banks.

REGULATION

D

Ruling
The Federal Reserve Board has announced a
modification of reserve requirements on longterm nonpersonal time deposits under Regulation
D (Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions), effective April 29, 1982.

Announcements

Under the change, nonpersonal time deposits
with original maturities of V/2 years or more will
have no required reserve. Nonpersonal time deposits with original maturities of less than V/2
years will continue to be subject to a 3 percent
reserve requirement.
The existing Board regulation provides for a 3
percent reserve requirement on all nonpersonal
time deposits with original maturities of less than
four years. The new action was taken in light of
authority granted by the Depository Institutions
Deregulation Committee (DIDC) for a new ceiling-free time deposit with an original maturity of
V/2 years or more, which may be offered by
institutions beginning May 1 in either negotiable
or nonnegotiable form.
A negotiable time deposit is defined in the
Monetary Control Act as nonpersonal and thus
subject to reserve requirements regardless of
ownership.
Depository institutions will be required to
maintain reserve requirements based on this
modification beginning May 13 (based on deposit
levels for the week of April 29 through May 5).
This action should not be regarded as a commitment by the Board to continue shortening the
maturity of time deposits subject to this reserve
requirement in line with the announced schedule
of DIDC for ceiling-free deposits. Future decisions of this nature will depend on experience
and prevailing monetary and credit conditions.

Deferral

of

Requirements

The Federal Reserve Board has extended
through the end of 1982 the deferral of deposit
reporting and reserve requirements for nonmember depository institutions that had less than $2
million in total deposits on December 31, 1979.
The Board acted to avoid burdening very small
nonmember banks and thrift institutions with
reporting and reserve maintenance requirements, and in view of pending legislation that
would give small depository institutions a permanent exemption.
The Board had previously deferred the requirements of Regulation D for such small depositories through May of this year.
The deferral affects more than 17,000 depository institutions, or 42 percent of the total, but



303

these institutions hold only 0.4 of 1 percent of all
deposits.
The Board said it would send letters to the
Congress urging enactment of legislation to permit permanent exemption of small depositories
from the requirements of Regulation D.
At the same time, the Board required currently
deferred depositories that had deposits of $15
million or more on December 31, 1981, to report
their deposits beginning with the reserve computation period of May 20 through May 26. These
institutions will be notified by their District Reserve Bank of their reserve responsibilities. Other institutions with deposits of $15 million or
more are required to contact their District Reserve Bank to determine when they are required
to report and maintain reserves.

GOVERNORS

West Michigan Financial Corporation,

Order Approving Acquisition of Bank
NBD Bancorp, Inc., Detroit, Michigan ("NBD"), and
its wholly-owned subsidiary, West Michigan Financial
Corporation, Cadillac, Michigan ("Corporation"),
have applied pursuant to section 3 of the Bank Holding
Company Act (12 U.S.C. § 1842) to acquire Northland
State Bank, Kalkaska, Michigan ("Bank"), a de novo
bank.
Notice of these applications, affording opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments and views,
has been given in accordance with section 3(b) of the
act. The comment period on these applications expired
on February 2, 1982. On February 3, 1982, the Federal
Reserve Bank of Chicago ("Reserve Bank"), acting
pursuant to section 265.2(f)(22) of the Board's Rules
Regarding Delegation of Authority (12 CFR
§ 265.2(f)(22)), approved these applications. Also on
that date, a timely letter of protest was received at the
Board from Michigan Housing Coalition ("MHC") a
community organization based in Detroit, Michigan.1
In its letter, MHC raised issues concerning the record
of NBD's lead bank subsidiary, National Bank of
Detroit, Detroit, Michigan ("NBD Bank"), under the
Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") (12 U.S.C.
§ 2901 et seq.) that warranted further investigation.

REGARDING

AUTHORITY

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is amending its Rules Regarding Delegation of



ISSUED

1. The record indicates that this letter was sent on February 1,
1982, the day before the comment period closed. The Board's Rules of
Procedure (12 CFR § 262.3(e)) provide that a comment is timely if it is
sent in a timely fashion. Thus, based on the record, it was determined
that the letter from MHC was timely.

Legal Developments

Accordingly, pursuant to section 265.3 of the Board's
Rules Regarding Delegation of Authority (12 CFR
§ 265.3) on February 12, 1982, it was determined that
the Reserve Bank's approval of these applications
should be reviewed by the Board. The Board has
considered these applications and all comments received, including those from MHC, in light of the
factors set forth in section 3(c) of the act and the CRA.
In addition to objecting to these applications on the
basis of NBD Bank's CRA record, MHC requested
that the Board order a public hearing in order to
receive testimony on the merits of these applications
from interested individuals and community organizations. In its letter of protest, MHC submitted statistics
relating to the geographic disparity in the residential
lending patterns of NBD Bank, as well as its level of
participation in FHA and VA loan programs. MHC
also indicated that in the event a public hearing were
not held, it could provide the Board with additional written comments concerning NBD Bank's CRA
record.2
Under section 3 of the act, the Board is required to
hold a formal hearing on an application only when the
appropriate state or Federal banking authority makes a
timely written recommendation of denial of the application, and no such recommendation has been received from the Michigan Financial Institutions
Board. While no formal hearing is required in this
instance, the Board could in its discretion order a
formal or informal proceeding, as it deems appropriate. Normally, the Board will order a formal administrative hearing when there are material questions of
fact in dispute that can be resolved by such a proceeding. The Board has reviewed the record in this case
and has determined that because NBD has not disputed MHC's statistical data, there are no material factual
disputes that warrant a formal hearing on these applications. Rather, MHC and NBD have submitted arguments concerning the interpretation that should be
accorded certain facts in the record. Because the
Board is charged by the statute with making these
judgments, and because MHC has been afforded ample opportunity to submit information into the record,
the Board has denied MHC's request for a formal
hearing. Accordingly, the Board has considered these
applications and the objections raised by MHC on the
merits.
2. In its letter of protest, MHC indicated it was interested in
continuing discussions with N B D directly. The Board notes that in
order to help clarify and resolve the issues, the Reserve Bank invited
representatives of MHC and N B D to a private meeting. After this
meeting, the Reserve Bank requested MHC to provide additional
information to aid in considering the need for a public proceeding on
the applications. In response, MHC indicated it had no further
information to submit.

NBD, the largest banking organization in Michigan,
controls 14 subsidiary banks with aggregate deposits
of $7.6 billion, representing 18.0 percent of commercial bank deposits in the state. 3 Corporation, a whollyowned subsidiary of NBD, controls two banking subsidiaries, Cadillac State Bank, Cadillac, Michigan
("Cadillac Bank") (deposits of $136.8 million), and
The First National Bank of Evart, Evart, Michigan
(deposits of $20.9 million).
These applications represent a corporate reorganization whereby the assets of two branches of Cadillac
Bank, both located in Kalkaska, Michigan, will be
transferred to Bank. Upon consummation, Bank will
have $40.1 million in deposits. Thus, this proposal will
not alter the share of deposits controlled by NBD or
Corporation and it appears that consummation of this
proposal will have no adverse effect on concentration
of banking resources or on existing or potential competition in any relevant market. The financial and
managerial resources and future prospects of NBD,
Corporation, their banking subsidiaries, and Bank are
satisfactory and the Board concludes that banking
factors are consistent with approval of these applications.
In connection with its consideration of the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, the
Board has considered the record of NBD's subsidiary
banks in meeting the credit needs of their communities
including low- and moderate-income areas, consistent
with safe and sound banking practice, as provided in
the CRA and the Board's Regulation BB (12 CFR
Part 228). Specifically, the Board has reviewed the
CRA records of NBD's banking subsidiaries other
than NBD Bank, and concludes that the record of each
is satisfactory. In addition, the Board has taken into
account the conclusions reached by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency from an examination of
NBD Bank that included an assessment of NBD
Bank's record under the CRA. The Board notes that
NBD Bank has delineated its community as the area
within 25 miles of its home office in Detroit and that
this delineation, which has not been challenged by
MHC, appears to be reasonable. Moreover, NBD
Bank has posted a CRA statement in each of its branch
offices and is otherwise in compliance with the technical requirements of the CRA.
The Board has also considered the comments of
MHC concerning NBD Bank's record of meeting the
credit needs of its entire community as provided in the
3. All banking data are as of June 30, 1981. Subsequently, N B D
received approval to acquire Roscommon State Bank, Roscommon,
Michigan (deposits of $102.4 million), and Wolverine State Bank,
Sandusky, Michigan (deposits of $86.0 million). Upon acquisition of
these two banks, N B D will control approximately 18.4 percent of
statewide commercial bank deposits.

CRA. Based on an analysis of NBD Bank's Home
Mortgage Disclosure Act ("HMDA") data for the
years 1976-1980, MHC alleges that NBD Bank has not
provided a "fair share" 4 of mortgage and home improvement loans to low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, to predominantly minority neighborhoods,
and in neighborhoods in which the housing stock is
relatively old. MHC also asserts that NBD Bank has
extended few FHA or VA loans, and that of the few
government-insured loans extended by NBD Bank, a
small percentage have been to low- and moderateincome areas.
While the statistics furnished by MHC indicate that
there are disparities in NBD Bank's lending patterns,
there is no evidence that these disparities are the result
of discriminatory credit practices. Moreover, MHC
has submitted no evidence to indicate there are individuals who believe they have been treated unfairly or
in a discriminatory manner in seeking credit from
NBD Bank. In fact, the record indicates NBD Bank
promotes its residential loan services in all areas of its
community by advertising its mortgage and home
improvement credit in newspapers of general circulation and in local community newsletters within the
city. Moreover, the figures submitted by MHC do not
account for variations in demand for mortgage and
residential credit among neighborhoods, nor for the
presence in the market of other mortgage lenders such
as thrifts and mortgage bankers. In this connection,
the Board notes that NBD Bank extends a substantial
number of home improvement loans in the neighborhoods where it makes few mortgage loans. In addition,
from the record it appears that in the Detroit SMS A,
thrifts and mortgage bankers provide over 70 percent
of the residential mortgage credit. In this regard, the
record reveals that in addition to the residential lending activities of NBD Bank, NBD engages in mortgage
lending activities through its nonbanking subsidiary,
NBD Mortgage Company ("NBD Mortgage"). 5 NBD
Mortgage actively solicits and extends FHA and VA
loans as well as conventional mortgage credit in the
Detroit SMSA. In 1980, NBD Mortgage extended 316
mortgage loans.
The Board notes that NBD Bank participates in a
number of programs designed to help meet the credit
needs of Detroit residents. For example, NBD Bank is
4. "Fair share" is defined by MHC as a comparison of two ratios.
First, MHC has computed the ratio of NBD Bank's residential lending
in "target neighborhoods" to its total residential lending. Second,
MHC has computed the ratio of targeted neighborhoods in the Detroit
SMSA to total neighborhoods. When these two ratios are equal, MHC
asserts that a lender is providing a fair share of its residential lending
to targeted areas. The Board notes that the CRA does not require the
allocation of credit based on arbitrary formulas.
5. As of April 30, 1981, NBD Bank had S7.6 million in FHA loans
and $5.1 million in VA loans in its mortgage portfolio.




a participant in the Detroit Mortgage Plan. 6 Moreover,
in 1979 when the Detroit Mortgage Plan was established, NBD placed full page ads in the Detroit Free
Press and in the Michigan Chronicle (a local minority
newspaper) explaining how the plan would operate.
NBD Bank has participated in Neighborhood Housing
Services and in the Michigan Housing Development
Authority Home Improvement and Neighborhood
Loan Program ("Neighborhood Loan Program"). 7 In
addition, NBD Bank has established consumer counseling centers in Detroit, and during 1980 and 1981,
sponsored four leadership training workshops in the
city. Finally, although the small business lending record of NBD Bank has not been challenged, the Board
notes that in 1969 NBD Bank formed a special lending
group to make loans to new and existing small businesses. In each of the past two years, this group has
approved loans totaling $3.9 million.
Based on the foregoing, and all the facts of record,
the Board concludes that NBD's record of meeting the
convenience and needs of the communities it serves,
including its record of compliance with the CRA, is
consistent with approval. Accordingly, the Board's
judgment is that the proposed transaction would be in
the public interest and that the application should be
approved.
On the basis of the record, these applications are
approved for the reasons summarized above. The
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 Chicago, acting pursuant to delegated authority.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
April 12, 1982.

6. The Detroit Mortgage Plan is comprised of area lenders who
have agreed on liberalized criteria for approving mortgage applications in certain neighborhoods. These lenders also serve on an appeals
committee, and at the request of an applicant, review rejected
mortgage applications.
7. Neighborhood Housing Services is a neighborhood and home
improvement project involving 1900 homes in northwest Detroit. This
organization helps individuals obtain residential credit, often on more
favorable terms than would otherwise be available. NBD Bank has

extends credit to credit-worthy low-income borrowers who would not
otherwise be able to obtain credit.

Shawmut Corporation,
Boston, Massachusetts
Order Approving Merger of Bank Holding
Companies and Acquisition of Wornat Development
Corporation and Wornat Insurance Agency, Inc.
Shawmut Corporation, Boston,
Massachusetts
("Shawmut"), a bank holding company within the
meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended (12 U.S.C. § 1841 et seq.), has applied for
the Board's approval under section 3(a)(5) of the act
(12 U.S.C. § 1842(a)(5)) to merge with Worcester
Bancorp, Inc., Worcester, Massachusetts ("Worcester"), also a bank holding company, under the charter
and name of Shawmut.
Shawmut has also applied for the Board's approval
under section 4(c)(8) of the act (12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8))
and section 225.4(b)(2) of the Board's Regulation Y
(12 CFR § 225.4(b)(2)), to acquire Wornat Development Corporation, Worcester, Massachusetts ("Wornat Development"), and thereby engage in the activity
of liquidating loans receivable and real estate acquired
through debts previously contracted; and to acquire
Wornat Insurance Agency, Inc., Worcester, Massachusetts ("Wornat Insurance"), and thereby engage in
the activity of acting as an insurance agent or broker
with respect to credit life insurance, credit accident
and health insurance, property and casualty insurance,
and mortgage redemption insurance, all directly related to extensions of credit by Worcester's banking and
nonbanking subsidiaries. These activities have been
determined by the Board to be closely related to
banking (12 CFR §§ 225.4(a)(1) and (9)).
Notice of receipt of these applications, affording
opportunity for interested persons to submit comments and views, has been given in accordance with
sections 3 and 4 of the Bank Holding Company Act
(47 Federal Register 343-44 (1982)). The time for filing
comments and views has expired, and the Board has
considered the applications and all comments received, including those of Mr. Vincent F. Zarilli,
Boston, Massachusetts, and the Independent Insurance Agents of Massachusetts, Boston, Massachusetts
("IIAM"), in light of the factors set forth in section
3(c) of the act (12 U.S.C. § 1842(c)), and the considerations specified in section 4(c)(8) of the act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1843(c)(8)).
Shawmut, the fourth largest commercial banking
organization in Massachusetts, controls nine subsidiary banks with aggregate deposits of $2.4 billion,
representing 11.2 percent of total deposits in commercial banks in the state. 1 Worcester is the seventh

309

largest commercial banking organization in Massachusetts, controlling five subsidiary banks with aggregate
deposits of $718 million, which represent 3.3 percent
of total deposits in commercial banks in the state.
Upon consummation of the proposal, Shawmut would
become the second largest banking organization in
Massachusetts.
A combination of commercial banking organizations
that hold aggregate deposits of such size and control
such proportions of commercial bank deposits in a
state might normally raise some concern about the
effects of the merger on statewide banking structure.
In the circumstances of this case, however, the Board
believes that certain characteristics of the structure of
the commercial banking industry in Massachusetts
would substantially mitigate any adverse effects on
statewide banking structure. For example, the present
size distribution of the state's banking organizations
indicates that maintaining a base of operations in
Boston is of significant advantage to commercial banking organizations in Massachusetts. While Worcester
has a banking subsidiary in the Boston market,
Worcester's presence in that market is not viewed as
significant and therefore, despite its size, the Board
does not view Worcester as an effective statewide
competitor for the Boston-based banking organizations. In addition, an evaluation of the record of
expansion of major Massachusetts commercial banking organizations in recent years indicates that trends
toward statewide commercial bank deposit concentration have been moderate and not seriously anticompetitive. On the basis of all the facts of record, the Board
concludes that the proposed merger would have no
seriously adverse effects on the concentration of banking resources in Massachusetts.
Shawmut's largest subsidiary, Shawmut Bank of
Boston, N.A., Boston, Massachusetts, is the second
largest banking organization in the Boston banking
market2 and holds approximately $2 billion in deposits, representing about 13.5 percent of deposits in
commercial banks in the market. One of Worcester's
subsidiaries, The Peoples National Bank of Marlborough, Marlborough, Massachusetts, also competes in
the Boston banking market. With deposits of $24
million, it ranks as the 43rd largest banking organization in the market, controlling 0.16 percent of deposits
in commercial banks in the market. In view of the large
number of participants in, and the relatively unconcentrated nature of, the Boston banking market, the
Board does not view as significant any elimination of

existing competition in this market resulting from
consummation of this proposal. Because the Boston
banking market is the only banking market in which
subsidiaries of Shawmut and Worcester compete directly, the Board believes that consummation of the
proposal would not have any significantly adverse
effects upon existing competition in any relevant market.
With regard to probable future competition, Shawmut is represented in two Massachusetts banking
markets, Springfield and New Bedford, 3 in which
Worcester is not currently represented. However,
Worcester does not appear reasonably likely to enter
either of these markets by alternative means. Worcester is represented in six banking markets in which
Shawmut is not currently represented: Worcester,
Cape Cod, Fitchburg, Amherst, Greenfield, and
Athol.4 The Cape Cod banking market is not highly
concentrated, with a three-firm concentration ratio of
61 percent. The Amherst, Greenfield, and Athol banking markets do not appear attractive for de novo entry
or expansion, and Shawmut does not appear reasonably likely to enter any of these markets by alternative
means. While Shawmut's prior activities in the Fitchburg market tend to indicate that it may be reasonably
likely to enter that market by alternative means, the
market as a whole does not appear attractive for de
novo entry or expansion, and a relatively large number
of probable future entrants remains outside the market.
The Board has reviewed the effect of this acquisition
on probable future competition in the Worcester market. In this regard, the Board has published for comment proposed guidelines delineating certain circumstances that the Board believes raise substantial
questions concerning probable future competition, and
thus require intensive examination to determine
whether entry into a market should be by less anticompetitive means than through acquisition of one of the
largest and dominant banks in the market. The Board

believes that analysis of the facts of this case under
those guidelines raises the question whether consummation of the proposal may have a serious anticompetitive effect.
First, the Worcester market is highly concentrated
with a three-firm concentration ratio of 87.8 percent.
Second, there are only a small number of probable
future entrants into the Worcester market. Third,
Worcester's subsidiary bank is the largest commercial
bank in the Worcester market, and holds 45.5 percent
of the total deposits in commercial banks in the
market. This concentration of deposits is one and onehalf times the amount of deposits held by the market's
second largest commercial bank.
However, with respect to the guideline gauging
market attractiveness—a key element in the Board's
analysis under the doctrine of probable future competition—the available data fall short of indicating that
the Worcester market is attractive for de novo entry or
future expansion. 5 This conclusion and the record as a
whole6 persuade the Board that the proposal is acceptable under the competitive standards of the act, albeit
only by a small margin.
The Board will continue to monitor those cases that
present substantial issues of probable future competition as reflected in the Board's proposed guidelines
and will consider the factors delineated above in such
cases. In marginal cases, in particular, the Board is
prepared to consider as a mitigating factor a divestiture plan offered by an applicant to address any
anticompetitive effects of a proposal. The Board will
also consider an applicant's commitment to serve the
convenience and needs of the community. Among the
ways in which this commitment may be evaluated is by
reference to the applicant's subsidiary banks' record
in meeting the credit needs of the community under
the Community Reinvestment Act.
The financial and managerial resources and future
prospects of Shawmut, Worcester, and their subsidiaries are regarded as generally satisfactory. Shawmut
has indicated that after consummation of the merger it
will extend certain of its retail banking policies to
Worcester's banking subsidiaries, resulting in reductions of minimum balance requirements for NOW
accounts and increases in interest rates offered on
particular categories of time deposits. Shawmut has
5. The deposit growth figures for this market (8.8 percent) as
compared with the state (12.0 percent) and national (9.6 percent)
figures for the same time period, indicate that the Worcester market
may be considered only marginally attractive for de novo entry or
expansion.
6. The Board notes that the Worcester market contains twenty
thrift institutions that hold over $2 billion in deposits compared with
$889.9 million in deposits held by the eight commercial banks in the
market. In addition, the savings banks in the market hold approximately 41 percent of the NOW accounts in the market.

Legal Developments

also represented that it would extend its system-wide
mortgage lending program to all banking subsidiaries
of Worcester and would make Shawmut's new computer systems, automated cash management services,
and experience in international activities available to
all Worcester's banking subsidiaries as well. Based
upon all the facts of record, the Board finds that
convenience and needs factors lend sufficient weight
toward approval of the application to outweigh any
adverse competitive effects of the proposal.
With respect to the applications by Shawmut submitted pursuant to section 4(c)(8) of the act, Wornat
Development is currently engaged in the activity of
completely liquidating its assets, which consist of
loans receivable and real estate acquired through debts
previously contracted, and Wornat Insurance is currently engaged in the activity of acting as an insurance
agent or broker with respect to credit life insurance,
credit accident and health insurance, property and
casualty insurance, and mortgage redemption insurance, all directly related to extensions of credit by
Worcester's banking and nonbanking subsidiaries.
The Board notes that it was previously determined
that the balance of public interest factors prescribed
by section 4(c)(8) of the act favored approval of
Worcester's earlier applications to engage in each of
these activities through Wornat Development 7 and
Wornat Insurance respectively (60 FEDERAL RESERVE
BULLETIN 393 (1974)). Nothing in the record of these
applications substantially suggests that Shawmut's acquisition of Wornat Development or Wornat Insurance
would alter that balance. Additionally, there is no
substantial evidence in the record that acquisition
of either Wornat Development or Wornat Insurance
would result in undue concentration of resources,
decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interests,
unsound banking practices, or other adverse effects on
the public interest. Accordingly, the Board has determined that the balance of public interest factors it must
consider under section 4(c)(8) of the act favors approval of the applications filed under that section and that
the applications should be approved.
In connection with the application to acquire Wornat Insurance, the Board has considered comments
submitted by IIAM, which has stated its view that the
operation of Wornat Insurance by Shawmut would be
against the law and public policy of Massachusetts.
IIAM makes several statements in support of this
view, among them assertions that Massachusetts law

acquire Wornat Development, pursuant to section 4(c)(8) of the act
and section 225.4(a)(1) of the Board's Regulation Y, for the sole
purpose of conducting an orderly liquidation of Wornat Development's assets.

and public policy prohibit a bank or bank holding
company from owning an insurance agency, that
Shawmut's acquisition of Wornat Insurance would
result in a change in the kind of activities Wornat
Insurance engages in, that Shawmut is not permitted
under Massachusetts law to engage in insurance activities, that the license held by Wornat Insurance was
dormant during a specified period, and that Wornat
Insurance at one point expanded its insurance agency
activities in a way IIAM believes to be improper.
Shawmut responds that IIAM's contentions are
without merit, and that in any event, this application is
not an appropriate vehicle for resolving the issues
involved. Shawmut asserts that its application to acquire Worcester would not involve an extension of the
activities of Wornat Insurance to subsidiaries of Shawmut, that there would be no change in the nature of the
activities of Wornat Insurance as a result of the merger
of Worcester with Shawmut, that Wornat Insurance
has specific statutory authority to engage in its present
activities, and that Shawmut's acquisition of Wornat
Insurance raises no issues as to public policy in
Massachusetts. Shawmut also asserts that its acquisition of Wornat Insurance would not affect the legal
status of the license of Wornat Insurance to engage in
insurance activities in Massachusetts.
Massachusetts law8 prohibits the issuance of the
type of license required for the activities in which
Wornat Insurance is engaged to any affiliate of any
bank, as the terms "affiliate" and "bank" are particularly defined.9 However, those banks or bank affiliates
that held this type of license prior to October 11, 1972,
are exempted from this prohibition. 10 In interpreting a
particular state law, the Board considers the statute
itself, any judicial interpretations of that law, and in
the absence of any such interpretations, opinions of
the state's Attorney General or relevant administrative
agency.11 Neither the courts of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts nor the Massachusetts Commissioner
of Insurance have interpreted these provisions.
After considering the statute itself in light of all the
facts of record and the statements and assertions of the
parties involved, the Board believes that the statute
would not prohibit the issuance of the type of insurance license required for the activities in which Wornat Insurance is engaged to Wornat Insurance upon or
after its acquisition by Shawmut. The Board has
considered each of IIAM's assertions regarding Shawmut's proposed operation of Wornat Insurance in light

Federal Reserve Bulletin • May 1982

of the Board's interpretation of the statute and all the
facts of record, and has concluded that Shawmut's
operation of Wornat Insurance would not violate Massachusetts law in any of the respects HAM has maintained.
In the Board's view, the Massachusetts statute in
question grants an exemption from its licensing prohibition to all banks or bank affiliates that held licenses
prior to October 11, 1972. Because the record indicates that Wornat Insurance is a bank affiliate within
the meaning of the statute and that Wornat Insurance
held a license of the type covered by the statute prior
to that date, the Board concludes that the statutory
exemption currently applies to Wornat Insurance to
the extent of the activities covered by that license. The
statute does not address the effect of the purchase and
sale of a bank or bank affiliate covered by this exemption on the ability of that bank or bank affiliate to
retain the exemption after its purchase and sale.
Accordingly, the statute does not indicate that upon
the sale of Wornat Insurance by Worcester to Shawmut, Wornat Insurance would lose its statutory exemption. 12
IIAM asserts that Shawmut is not permitted under
Massachusetts law to engage in insurance activities
and is not covered by the statutory exemption that
covers Wornat Insurance. In the Board's view, the
statutory exemption would apply to Wornat Insurance
as a bank affiliate upon its purchase by Shawmut
regardless of whether the exemption applies to Shawmut itself. Shawmut has stated that its application to
acquire Worcester through merger would not involve
an extension of Wornat Insurance activities to subsidiaries of Shawmut. Accordingly, the insurance activities engaged in by Wornat Insurance would be the only
insurance activities engaged in by any subsidiary of
Shawmut as a result of the proposed merger. Furthermore, Shawmut has confirmed that it has no plans to
offer services currently offered by Wornat Insurance
through any other Shawmut subsidiaries upon the
approval of this merger.
IIAM maintains that Shawmut's acquisition of Wornat Insurance would result in a change in the kind of
activities Worcester engages in simply by virtue of
Shawmut's size. On the basis of the record, the Board
does not believe that upon Shawmut's acquisition of
Wornat Insurance, Shawmut's size alone would alter
the nature of the activities of Wornat Insurance,
particularly in light of Shawmut's statement that there
12. The Board does not regard IIAM's statement that the Massachusetts statute in question prohibits a bank or bank holding company
from owning an insurance agency in the state as accurate. The statute
restricts the availability of insurance licenses and does not directly
address the legal authority of banks, bank holding companies, or their
affiliates to own insurance agencies.




would be no change in the nature of the activities of
Wornat Insurance as a result of the merger.
The Board notes that any future extension of the
activities of Wornat Insurance to other subsidiaries or
any change in the nature of such activities would
constitute a "significant alteration," within the meaning of section 225.4(c) of the Board's Regulation Y
(12 CFR § 225.4(c)), of the activities involved in the
application to acquire Wornat Insurance, and would
thus require the Federal Reserve's prior approval.
Furthermore, the Board expects Wornat Insurance
and Shawmut to comply with applicable state law with
regard to any such changes or expansions.
IIAM also argues that the license held by Wornat
Insurance was dormant during a particular period of
time and that at one point Wornat Insurance applied
for authority to expand its insurance agency activities,
and implies that this action was improper in light of the
Massachusetts statute here involved. It does not appear from the statute that dormancy, inactivity, or
attempted expansion of a license issued pursuant to
the statute's exemption provision affects a license
holder's coverage under that exemption. Accordingly,
based on the record, the Board has determined that
IIAM's comments do not present grounds for denial of
these applications.13
Based on the foregoing and other considerations
reflected in the record, the Board has determined that
the applications under sections 3(a)(5) and 4(c)(8)
should be and hereby are approved. 14 The merger of
Shawmut and Worcester shall not be made 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 the Federal Reserve
Bank of Boston, under delegated authority. Acquisition of the nonbank subsidiaries under section 4(c)(8)
is subject to the conditions set forth in section 225.4(c)
of Regulation Y, and to the Board's authority to
require such modification or termination of the activities of a holding company or any of its subsidiaries as
13. IIAM has requested that the Board hold a hearing, "if appropriate," on the application to acquire Wornat Insurance. Because IIAM
has presented no material factual issues in dispute, has not shown that
written presentations are insufficient, and has not described the
evidence that would be presented at such a hearing, and because it
appears to the Board that each of the issues addressed by IIAM has
been satisfactorily addressed through written submissions, the Board
finds that a hearing is not warranted under the Board's Rules of
Procedure (12 CFR § 262.3(e)).
14. Also in connection with these applications, the Board has
considered comments submitted by Mr. Vincent F. Zarilli, concerning
the lending and deposit-taking activities of Shawmut Bank of Boston,

Concurring Statement of Governor Teeters
I agree with the majority's view that the facts of record
do not warrant denial of these applications. However,
I wish to state my view that the circumstances of this
case relating to the Worcester banking market would
have substantially satisfied the criteria for extensive
review contained in the Board's proposed probable
future competition guidelines, had those guidelines
been in effect when these applications were submitted.
Furthermore, even without reference to the proposed
guidelines as such, I believe that the facts of this case
present a significant possibility that approval of the
applications would involve substantially adverse competitive effects. Accordingly, a more intensive review
may well have been warranted in these circumstances.
Had the guidelines been in effect when these applications were submitted, I believe the Applicant would
have been required to provide additional information
for the Board's intensive examination in light of the
effects of the proposal on probable future competition.
The four criteria of the Board's proposed guidelines
are substantially satisfied in this case.
The first criterion of the proposed guidelines is
satisfied because the market's three-firm concentration ratio is 87.8 percent, and the minimum under the
guidelines is 75 percent.
The second criterion is satisfied because there are
only three probable future entrants into the market,
excluding the Applicant, and the existence of six or
fewer probable future entrants activates close review
under the guidelines.
The fourth criterion is satisfied because Worcester's
bank subsidiary in the Worcester market is the largest
commercial banking organization in the market and
has a 45.5 percent market share. A market share of 10
percent or more held by a bank in this position

The third criterion is not completely satisfied, because although the Worcester market is an SMSA
market that has total commercial banking deposits of
over $250 million, the market does not meet the
growth specifications of this criterion. However, the
market growth rate of commercial bank deposits during the last two years has been only slightly lower than
the corresponding national rate. In light of the extent
to which the facts satisfy three of the criteria, the
failure to meet the exact specifications of the fourth
criterion should not preclude intensive examination.
As indicated in the policy statement issued in connection with the proposed guidelines, the Board would,
when necessary, require intensive examination in a
particular instance even if the circumstances presented do not satisfy the criteria in every detail. In my
view, this would be such a case.

Wyoming Bancorporation,
Cheyenne, Wyoming
Order Denying Acquisition of Bank
Wyoming Bancorporation, Cheyenne, Wyoming, a
bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act, has applied for the Board's
approval under section 3(a)(3) of the act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1842(a)(3)) to acquire 80 percent or more of the
voting shares of American National Bank of Powell,
Powell, Wyoming ("Bank"). The bank into which
Bank is to be merged has no significance except as a
means to facilitate the acquisition of Bank. Accordingly, the proposed acquisition of shares of the successor
organization is treated herein as the proposed acquisition of the shares of Bank.
Notice of the application, affording opportunity for
interested persons to submit comments and views, has
been given in accordance with section 3(b) of the act.
The time for filing comments and views has expired,
and the Board has considered the application and all
comments received, including those of Bank, in light
of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the act
(12 U.S.C. § 1842(c)).
Applicant, the largest banking organization in the
state of Wyoming, controls 21 subsidiary banks with
deposits of $474.4 million, representing 16.0 percent of
the total deposits in commercial banks in the state. 1
Upon acquisition of Bank, with deposits of $21.9
million, Applicant's share of deposits in commercial
banks in Wyoming would increase by only 0.7 percent.

Federal Reserve Bulletin • May 1982

Accordingly, consummation of this proposal would
not have an appreciable effect upon the concentration
of commercial banking resources in Wyoming.
Bank is located in Park County, Wyoming. Applicant currently has two banking subsidiaries located in
Park County, First Wyoming Bank-Cody, Cody, Wyoming ("Cody Bank"), and First Wyoming Bank,
N.A.-Meeteetse, Meeteetse, Wyoming ("Meeteetse
Bank"). Park County is a sparsely populated area in
the northwest part of Wyoming, consisting primarily
of mountainous and desert terrain, with some irrigated
farmland.
Applicant contends that Park County should be
divided into two separate banking markets, with the
northern portion of the county, which includes Powell
where Bank is located, plus the adjoining portion of
Big Horn County, including Lovell, Wyoming, regarded as the relevant geographic banking market for the
purposes of analyzing the competitive effects of the
proposed transaction. Applicant's proposed market
would exclude the southern portion of Park County
including the towns of Cody and Meeteetse, where
Cody Bank and Meeteetse Bank are located. Applicant bases its contention on the lack of significant
primary service area overlap between Bank and Cody
Bank, the differences in interest rates charged on loans
by the two banks, a claimed dearth of commuting and
other evidence of commercial interaction between the
towns of Powell and Cody, and the failure of Bank and
Cody Bank to advertise in each other's service area.
The Board believes that the relevant geographic
banking market must reflect the commercial and banking realities of the situation and be economically
significant.2 In situations such as presented by this
application, the Board has stated that the relevant
geographic market consists of the area in which the
banks involved offer their services and to which their
customers can practicably turn for alternatives. 3 As
the Supreme Court has stated, "the proper question is
not where the parties to the merger do business or
even where they compete, but where, within the area
of competitive overlap, the effect of the merger on
competition will be direct and immediate." (United
States v. Philadelphia National Bank, 374 U.S. 321,
357 (1970)). This area "must be charted by careful
selection of the market area in which the seller operates and to which the purchaser can practicably turn
for supplies." {Id. at 359).
Applying these principles to the facts of this case,
the Board concludes that the relevant geographic
market within which to evaluate the competitive ef2. See Brown Shoe Co. v. United States, 370 U.S. 294, 336-337
(1962).
3. See e.g., Independent Bank Corporation, 67 FEDERAL RESERVE
BULLETIN 4 3 6 ( 1 9 8 1 ) .




fects of this proposal is Park County, Wyoming, and
the adjoining portion of Big Horn County, including
the town of Lovell, Wyoming. It is this area that the
Board regards as economically significant in terms of
this proposal and is the area in which the Board
believes the effect of Applicant's proposal will be
direct and immediate.
The facts show that Powell and Cody are the primary population centers for Park County 4 and are
located 24 miles apart with no intervening geographic
barriers. The closest town of similar size in Wyoming
and with comparable commercial alternatives to either
Cody or Powell is Worland, Wyoming, which is about
80 miles from Cody and Powell.
The town of Cody and Powell are connected by a
direct and well maintained highway. Wyoming State
Highway Department statistics show that the average
daily traffic count on the road between Powell and
Cody is approximately 2,480 cars, and indicates that
the majority of this traffic can be attributed to local
travel.
In addition, the towns of Powell and Cody each have
characteristics that encourage commercial interaction
between them. Cody is the county seat and is the
location of the only airport with scheduled air service
in Park County and the entire Big Horn Basin. Also
located in Cody is the area's only orthodontist, as well
as a small chain of all-night convenience grocery
stores. The only local college is in Powell, and a twice
daily shuttle bus operates between Cody and Powell to
transport students to and from school.
Finally, a study of checks and other cash items
cleared by Cody Bank during a one-week period
suggests that Powell residents initiate more than 400
cash items per day directly in Cody. 5 In view of the
fact that there are approximately 2,000 households in
Powell, this activity indicates that residents of Powell
substantially rely on the goods and services available
in Cody.
The Board has also considered the areas from which
Bank and Cody Bank derive their business. Applicant
has indicated that Bank derives 4.0 percent of its
deposits and 8.7 percent of its loans from Cody
residents, while Cody Bank derives 4.3 percent of its
deposits and 2.7 percent of its loans from Powell
residents. These statistics demonstrate that some customers in each town have found it practical to do
4. Cody has a population of 6,706. Powell has a population of 5,302.
5. The figure is based on Applicant's survey of all cash items
cleared by Cody Bank during a one-week period. Excluding checks
mailed by Powell residents to a regional cable television company that
maintains its deposits in Cody Bank, Cody Bank receives approximately 200 cash items per day that were initiated in Cody by Powell
residents. Assuming that all banks located in Cody receive cash items
in proportion to their deposit business, it is estimated that Powell
residents initiate over 400 cash items per day in Cody.

Legal Developments

banking business in the other town, and that there is
existing competition between the two banks. 6 This
evidence also indicates that neither Cody Bank nor
Bank has regarded the other town as being so far
removed from its "major service area as to warrant a
refusal to extend credit to borrowers there. Indeed, it
appears that, in terms of lending, Bank, which offers
somewhat lower interest rates on consumer loans, has
made a significant inroad into Cody Bank's service
area.
Applicant argues that neither Bank nor Cody Bank
solicits business from the other's service area, as
evidenced by the fact that neither bank advertises in
the newspaper or on radio stations outside of the town
where it is located. The evidence of the record reveals,
however, that Applicant has sponsored a regional
radio show on the Powell radio station, and that some
of its advertising has been designed to show its close
connection with all of Park County. Moreover, inasmuch as the Powell newspaper, which is published
twice weekly, derives 13 percent of its subscribers
from Cody, Bank's advertising in that paper reaches a
significant portion of Cody households. Finally, it
appears that the radio stations broadcasting from Cody
and Powell are received in both towns, so that advertising on one station reaches residents of both towns.
With respect to Applicant's claim regarding differences in interest rates charged by Bank and Cody
Bank on loans, evidence submitted by Applicant comparing the rates charged by Bank and Cody Bank over
the past 15 months demonstrates that, notwithstanding
the different standards upon which each bank bases its
interest rate, in 14 of 15 periods cited the changes in
rates where in the same direction or caused the rates to
converge. Numerous other factors also affect interest
rates such as the maturity of a loan, the level of
monthly or other payments, the amount of collateral
required, and the level of compensating balances required. Thus, Applicant's contention, that the relative
interest rates and their changes prove a lack of competition between Cody Bank and Bank, is not supported
by the evidence.
The Board's judgment is that each town offers to
residents of the other, an available and practical
alternative for a variety of commercial and other
services, including banking services. This judgment is
based on the following: the relative proximity of
Powell and Cody; the ready accessibility of each to the
other; their positions as the economic, governmental
and trade centers of the Park County region; the
6. In a previous application filed with the Board, Applicant stated
that "[i]n Wyoming, residents drive long distances for many services
and products. To travel fifty miles (or an hour) to bank simply is not
extraordinary."




315

substantial distance to other comparable commercial
centers; and the interaction between the two towns.
These facts contradict Applicant's thesis that Powell
and Cody are two separate banking markets, which are
isolated from competitive forces in the other and
whose residents would not turn outside of their local
community to the other nearby community for banking
services.7 The Board's view is that Applicant's proposed market definition disregards the economic reality and market forces presently existing between the
towns of Cody and Powell and throughout the Park
County, Wyoming area. Based on these and all of the
facts of record, the Board concludes that the towns of
Cody and Powell are part of the same relevant geographic market, and that the area includes all of Park
County, Wyoming and portions of adjoining Big Horn
County, Wyoming.
Within the relevant banking market, Bank is the fifth
largest of seven banking organization, and holds 10.8
percent of deposits in commercial banks in the market.
Applicant, with two banking subsidiaries in the market, holds total deposits of $48.2 million, representing
23.8 percent of deposits in commercial banks in the
market. As a result of the proposed acquisition of
Bank, Applicant would become the largest banking
organization in the market, and its share of market
deposits would increase to 34.6 percent. 8 In addition,
consummation of the proposal would increase the
portion of market deposits held by the four largest
banking organizations from 83.7 percent to 94.5 percent. Thus, the Board concludes that the effect of
consummation of this proposal may be to substantially
lessen competition in the Park County banking market.9
The financial and managerial resources of Applicant, its subsidiaries and Bank are generally satisfactory and consistent with approval. Consummation of
the proposed transaction would allow Bank to have
access to Applicant's greater capital resources and
sophisticated loan marketing capabilities. In the
Board's view, these considerations relating to the
convenience and needs of the community do not
7. The Board notes that both Applicant and the Reserve Bank
conducted informal studies to ascertain whether the residents of each
town would turn to the other for alternative banking services. The
Board has not relied on either of the surveys, inasmuch as neither was
based on a random sample.
8. The Board evaluated the impact of thrift institutions and credit
unions in the relevant banking market and has found their impact to be
minimal in view of the relatively small amount of total deposits held by
such institutions.
9. The Board notes that Applicant has committed to divest Meeteetse Bank, if the Board found that such divestiture would mitigate
the adverse competitive elfects of the proposed transaction. Inasmuch
as Meeteetse Bank holds deposits of $6.2 million, representing 3.1
percent of market deposits, the Board does not view the proposed
divestiture as a significant mitigating factor.

outweigh the substantially adverse competitive effects
of this proposal.
Based on the foregoing and other considerations
reflected on the record, the Board's judgment is that
the proposed acquisition is not in the public interest
and that the application should be, and here is, denied.

Orders Under Section 4 of Bank Holding
Company Act
Interstate Financial Corporation,
Dayton, Ohio
Order Approving Acquisition of Stock Savings and
Loan Association
Interstate Financial Corporation, Dayton, Ohio, a
bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act, has applied for the Board's
approval under section 4(c)(8) of the act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1843(c)(8)) and section 225.4(b)(2) of the Board's
Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. § 225.4(b)(2)), to acquire all
of the shares of Scioto Savings Association, Columbus, Ohio ("Scioto"), a state-chartered savings and
loan association, insured by the Ohio Deposit Guarantee Fund. Upon consummation of the proposed acquisition, Applicant will engage through Scioto, in the
activity of operating a savings and loan association.1
Although the Board has not added the operation of a
thrift institution to the list of activities specified in
section 225.4(a) of Regulation Y as generally permissible for bank holding companies, the Board has determined in several individual cases that the operation of
a thrift institution is closely related to banking.2

The Ohio Superintendent of Building and Loan
Associations has requested that the Board act expeditiously upon this application because of the current
financial condition of Scioto. In light of this request
and in light of the significant public interest in the
prompt processing of this application, the Board has
expedited the period for comment normally provided
for applications filed under section 4 of the act in the
Federal Register notice. The Board, however, has
provided notice of the proposal through newspaper
publication in Columbus, and has provided for a public
meeting in Columbus, on April 3, 1982, to obtain views
and comments on the proposal from interested persons. The Board has considered all comments and
views presented in light of the factors set forth in
section 4(c)(8) of the act.
Applicant is a bank holding company by virtue of its
control of The Third National Bank and Trust Company, Dayton, Ohio ("Third National"), which operates
27 banking offices and controls $470.9 million in deposits (as of February 28, 1982) in the Dayton banking
market. Third National also operates an equipment
leasing subsidiary and a mortgage banking company.
Applicant proposes to acquire Scioto, a stock savings
and loan association, which operates four offices and
controls $56.8 million in deposits (as of February 28,
1982) in the Columbus market. 3 In view of the fact that
Applicant's subsidiary bank and Scioto operate in
separate markets and there is no significant amount of
direct competition between them, consummation of
the proposed acquisition would not have a significant
effect on existing competition in any relevant market.
Although Applicant's mortgage banking subsidiary
does make some loans in Columbus, it has no offices in
that area, and the number of loans it makes there has
declined considerably in recent years. In view of the
number and size of financial organizations operating in
the Columbus market and the small size and limited
presence of Scioto in that market, 4 the Board finds

1. The Board has recently determined that, if it is not to be
considered a "bank" for purposes of the act, a thrift institution that
offers NOW accounts may exercise no greater commercial lending
powers than are now permitted by statute to federal thrift institutions
(i.e., federal savings and loan associations and federal savings banks).
First Bancorporation (Press Release of March 12, 1982). Applicant
has agreed to so limit Scioto's activities, and thus this application is
properly filed under section 4 of the act. In addition, Applicant has
commited to further limit Scioto's activities to those permissible under
section 4(c)(8) of the act.

that this acquisition would not have any significant
adverse effect on potential competition. Indeed, the
proposed acquisition would have a substantial beneficial impact on competition by ensuring the continued
operation of Scioto as a viable institution.
Section 4(c)(8) of the act (12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8))
authorizes a bank holding company to acquire a nonbank company where the activities of the nonbank
company are determined by the Board to be "so
closely related to banking or managing or controlling
banks as to be a proper incident thereto." The act
provides that the Board may make such determinations by order or by regulation. As stated earlier, the
Board has determined previously that the operation of
a thrift institution is closely related to banking. A
recent Board staff study of thrift institutions supports
the view that operating a thrift institution is closely
related to banking.5
With respect to the "proper incident" requirement,
however, section 4(c)(8) of the act requires the Board
to consider whether the performance of the activity by
an affiliate of a holding company "can reasonably be
expected to produce benefits to the public, such as
greater convenience, increased competition, or gains
in efficiency that outweigh possible adverse effects,
such as undue concentration of resources, decreased
or unfair competition, conflicts of interests, or unsound banking practices."
In 1977, the Board considered the general question
whether savings and loan association ("S&L") activities are a proper incident to banking. At that time, the
Board determined that, as a general matter, S&L
activities are not a proper incident to banking since the
potential adverse effects of generally allowing affiliations of banks and S&Ls were then sufficiently strong
to outweigh such benefits as might result in individual
cases. (D. H. Baldwin

& Co., 63 FEDERAL RESERVE

BULLETIN 280 (1977)). The Board has reexamined, in
the context of this application, the general adverse
factors cited in the Board's 1977 D. H. Baldwin decision, including regulatory conflict, erosion of institutional rivalry, and the potential for undermining interstate banking prohibitions. The Board has also
considered the adverse factors that might be associated with this particular application,6 including the potential for unfair competition, conflicts of interests,
financial risks, diversion of funds, participation in
impermissible activities, and evasion of interest rate
limitations.

5. Bank Holding Company Acquisitions of Thrift Institutions, September 1981.
6. As stated above, the Board has examined the competitive effects
associated with this particular application and has concluded that
there are no significant adverse effects associated therewith.




317

In view of the determination by the Ohio Superintendent of Building and Loan Associations and the
Board with respect to Scioto's financial condition, the
lack of any other viable alternative to address Scioto's
condition, the present circumstances of the thrift industry and the financial condition of a large number of
its members, and the conditions and other considerations detailed below, the Board has determined that
the substantial benefits to the public associated with
preserving Scioto as a thrift competitor are sufficient
to outweigh the generalized adverse effects found by
the Board in the D. H. Baldwin case. By this decision,
the Board does not overrule its conclusion in the D. H.
Baldwin case that, as a general matter, the operation of
a thrift institution by a bank holding company is not a
proper incident to banking.
The Board considers Applicant's acquisition of Scioto to be a substantial and compelling public benefit in
that Applicant will provide Scioto with sufficient new
capital funds to enable Scioto to continue its operations and to remain a viable competitor. 7 The record
establishes that Applicant has the financial and managerial resources and commitment to serving the convenience and needs of the public to achieve this result. 8
The acquisition will preserve a competitor in the
Columbus market, ensuring the continuation of services by Scioto to its customers and protecting the
interests of Scioto's depositors, the depositing public
in the Columbus market and the state of Ohio, and the
Ohio Deposit Guarantee Fund.
The Board's judgment is that in light of the commitments made by Applicant as summarized below, the
public benefits associated with the preservation of
Scioto as a competitor outweigh any adverse effects
that are associated with this particular application.
Applicant has committed to ensure the separate operation of Scioto and Third National; 9 to obtain federal
insurance for Scioto upon the elimination of Regulation Q; to generally abide by the Regulation Q interest
rate ceilings within two years; to limit Scioto's branching to that permitted under the branching laws of the
state of Ohio, as if Scioto were a commercial bank; not
to engage in any transactions that would be in violation
of section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act, as if Scioto

7. The Ohio Deposit Guarantee Fund will provide some financial
assistance in effecting the subject acquisition.
8. Because the only organization, other than Applicant, that has
expressed an interest in acquiring Scioto did not have the financial
resources to support Scioto, the Board finds that Applicant's acquisition of Scioto is necessary to preserve Scioto as a competitor. The
Board has considered that there are no provisions of Ohio law
permitting an S&L to be placed in conservatorship or receivership.
9. In this connection, Applicant has committed that Scioto will be
operated under its own name and identity and will not advertise that it
is affiliated with Third National. In addition, Third National will not be
used as a deposit gathering device for Scioto.

318

were a member bank; and to limit Scioto's activities to
those permitted to federal thrift institutions currently
under the Home Owners' Loan Act and to bank
holding companies and their subsidiaries under section
4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act.
The Board has considered the request of the Independent Bankers Association of America ("IBAA")
that the Board defer action on this application and any
other application for acquisition of a thrift institution
by a bank holding company under section 4(c)(8) of the
act until Congress has passed specific remedial legislation giving the federal financial institution regulatory
agencies authority to deal with the present financial
condition of thrift institutions. In mid-1981, the Board
and other federal financial institution regulatory agencies urged Congress to enact such legislation. Over the
past several months, the Board has, through its Chairman, informed the Congress on various occasions,
both orally and in writing, that the exigencies of a
particular situation could require the Board to consider using its authority under existing law to approve an
acquisition by a bank holding company of a thrift
institution. The Board believes that the public interest,
and particularly the present financial condition of
Scioto, require such action by the Board on this
application at this time. Accordingly, the Board denies
the request of the IBAA to defer action on this
application.
In view of the foregoing and all the facts of record, 10
the Board finds that the acquisition of Scioto by
Applicant would result in substantial and compelling
public benefits, unachievable by other means, that are
sufficient to outweigh any adverse effects associated
with this proposal, including any potential adverse
effects of the affiliation of a commercial banking
organization with a thrift.
Based upon the foregoing and other facts and circumstances reflected in the record, the Board has
determined that the balance of the public interest
factors the Board is required to consider under section
4(c)(8) is favorable in this particular case. Accordingly, the application is approved subject to the commitments and limitations described in this Order and
included in the record on this application. The Board's
decision is limited to the particular facts presented in
this case and is not to be considered a precedent.
The Board's decision is further subject to the conditions set forth in section 225.4(c) of Regulation Y and
to the Board's authority to require such modification
or termination of the activities of a holding company or
any of its subsidiaries as the Board finds necessary to

Seafirst Corporation,
Seattle, Washington
Order Concerning Permissibility of Underwriting
Group Mortgage Life Insurance
Seafirst Corporation, Seattle, Washington, a bank
holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act, has applied for the Board's
approval under section 4(c)(8) of the act (12 U.S.C.
§ 1843(c)(8)) and Section 225.4(b)(2) of the Board's
Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. § 225.4(b)(2)), to engage
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Seafirst Life
Insurance Company, Seattle, Washington ("SLIC"),
in underwriting group mortgage life insurance directly
related to residential real estate loans made or acquired by its subsidiaries. The Board has not heretofore determined this activity to be closely related to
banking.
Section 225.4(a) of Regulation Y (12 CFR
§ 225.4(a)) provides that a bank holding company may
file an application to engage in activities other than
those determined to be permissible for bank holding
companies if it is of the opinion that the proposed
activities in the circumstances surrounding its case are
closely related to banking or managing or controlling
banks. The regulation further provides that the Board
will publish in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity for hearing regarding the proposed activity only
if the Board believes there is a reasonable basis for the
bank holding company's opinion.
Because the Board has not found the proposed
activity to be closely related to banking, Applicant, as
a proponent of the activity, is required to demonstrate,
in accordance with section 225.4(a) of the Board's
Regulation Y, that there is a reasonable basis for its

Legal Developments

opinion that these activities are closely related to
banking.
Applicant contends that underwriting group mortgage life insurance directly related to extensions of
credit by Applicant's subsidiaries is closely related to
banking. It bases its contention on the Board's determination that underwriting credit life, accident and
health insurance is permissible for bank holding companies. Applicant argues that there is no substantive
difference between the underwriting activities it proposes to engage in and those presently permissible
pursuant to section 225.4(a)(10) of Regulation Y.
The Board rejected similar arguments in a proposal
by Bank America Corporation 1 to reinsure home loan
life mortgage insurance. Applicant claims its proposal
is different from BankAmerica's proposal because it
involves group insurance, because the insurance is
offered at the time of the loan transaction, and because
such insurance is limited in value to the limit set for
credit life insurance. These differences, however, are
not significant in view of the nature of underwriting
mortgage life insurance. The Board notes that whether
the insurance is group insurance or individual insurance is irrelevant from the standpoint of reinsurance
activities. Moreover, while the insurance product to
be underwritten may be likened to ordinary credit life
insurance policies, the banking industry has never
generally engaged in underwriting mortgage insurance.
In determining whether a proposed activity is closely related to banking, the Board found recent court
decisions dealing with section 4(c)(8) of the act particularly useful. A federal circuit court has set forth
guidelines for determining whether an activity is closely related to banking: banks generally have in fact
provided the proposed services; banks generally provide services that are operationally or functionally so
similar to the proposed services as to equip them
particularly well to provide the proposed services; or
banks generally provide services that are so integrally
related to the proposed services as to require their
provision in a specialized form. 2 The Board has analyzed proposed activities in terms of the court's guide-

319

lines to determine whether there is a reasonable basis
for finding them closely related to banking.
In this regard, the Board finds that there is little
evidence in the record to show that banks have
engaged in the proposed activity. The Board understands that banks traditionally have engaged in underwriting credit life, accident and health insurance, but
have not been engaged in the underwriting of group
mortgage life insurance. Indeed, mortgage life insurance generally is underwritten by life insurance companies and may more appropriately be characterized
as a type of term life insurance. Further, there is
insufficient evidence to support the conclusion that the
proposed activity is operationally or functionally so
similar to activities presently conducted by bank holding companies as to indicate that bank holding companies are particularly well equipped to provide the
proposed activity. In this regard, the Board notes
Applicant seeks to engage in the proposed service only
as reinsurer and will continue to utilize the expertise of
an independent, direct underwriter. Lastly, there is no
evidence that banks generally provide services that are
so integrally related to the underwriting of home loan
life insurance as to require bank holding companies to
provide this service in a specialized form. In fact,
adequate service is presently being provided by the
insurance industry. Accordingly, the Board finds that
there is no reasonable basis for finding the activity is
closely related to banking or managing and controlling
banks.
Based upon the foregoing and the other facts of
record, the Board concludes that Applicant has failed
to demonstrate that there is a reasonable basis for the
opinion that the activity is closely related to banking or

In effect Apr. 30, 1982

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. As of Oct. 1, 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. For changes in reserve requirements beginning 1963, see Board's Annual
Statistical Digest, 1971-1975 and for prior changes, see Board's Annual Report for
1976, table 13. U n d e r 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 Act
corporations.
2. (a) Requirement schedules are graduated, and each deposit interval applies
to that part of the deposits of each bank. D e m a n d deposits subject to reserve
requirements were gross demand deposits minus cash items in process of collection
and demand balances due from domestic banks.
(b) The Federal Reserve Act as amended through 1978 specified different ranges
of requirements for reserve city banks and for other banks. Reserve cities were
designated under a criterion adopted effective Nov. 9,1972, by which a bank having
net demand deposits of more than $400 million was considered to have the character
of business of a reserve city bank. The presence of the head office of such a bank
constituted designation of that place as a reserve city. Cities in which there were
Federal Reserve Banks or branches were also reserve cities. Any banks having net
demand deposits of $400 million or less were considered to have the character of
business of banks outside of reserve cities and were permitted to maintain reserves
at ratios set for banks not in reserve cities.
(c) Effective Aug. 24, 1978, the Regulation M reserve requirements on net
balances due from domestic banks to their foreign branches and on deposits that
foreign branches lend to U.S. residents were reduced to zero from 4 percent and
1 percent respectively. The Regulation D reserve requirement on borrowings from
unrelated banks abroad was also reduced to zero from 4 percent.
(d) Effective with the reserve computation period beginning Nov. 16, 1978,
domestic deposits of Edge corporations were subject to the same reserve requirements as deposits of m e m b e r banks.
3. (a) Negotiable order of withdrawal ( N O W ) accounts and time deposits such
as Christmas and vacation club accounts were subject to the same requirements as
savings deposits.
(b) The average reserve requirement on savings and other time deposits before
implementation of the Monetary Control Act had to be at least 3 percent, the
minimum specified by law.
4. (a) Effective Nov. 2, 1978, a supplementary reserve requirement of 2 percent
was imposed on large time deposits of $100,000 or more, obligations of affiliates,
and ineligible acceptances. This supplementary requirement was eliminated with
the maintenance period beginning July 24, 1980.
(b) Effective with the reserve maintenance period beginning Oct. 25, 1979, a
marginal reserve requirement of 8 percent was added to managed liabilities in
excess of a base amount. This marginal requirement was increased to 10 percent
beginning Apr. 3, 1980, was decreased to 5 percent beginning June 12, 1980, and

N O T E T O T A B L E 1.16
NOTE. Before Mar. 31, 1980, the maximum rates that could be paid by federally
insured commercial banks, mutual savings banks, and savings and loan associations
were established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the
Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Federal
H o m e Loan Bank Board under the provisions of 12 C F R 217, 329, and 526 respectively. Title II of the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-221) transferred the authority of the agencies to establish
maximum rates of interest pbe on deposits to the Depository Institutions Deregulation Committee. The maximum rates on time deposits in denominations of
$100,000 or more with maturities of 30-89 days were suspended in June 1970; such
deposits maturing in 90 days or more were suspended in May 1973. For information
regarding previous interest rate ceilings on all types of accounts, see earlier issues
of the FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board Journal,
and the Annual Report of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.

was reduced to zero beginning July 24, 1980. Managed liabilities are defined as
large time deposits. Eurodollar borrowings, repurchase agreements against U.S.
government and federal agency securities, federal funds borrowings f r o m nonmember institutions, and certain other obligations. In general, the base for the
marginal reserve requirement was originally the greater of (a) $100 million or (b)
the average amount of the managed liabilities held by a member b a n k , Edge
corporation, or family of U.S. branches and agencies of a foreign bank for the two
statement weeks ending Sept. 26, 1979. For the computation period beginning Mar.
20, 1980, the base was lowered by (a) 7 percent or ( b j the decrease in an institution's
U.S. office gross loans to foreigners and gross balances due from foreign offices
of other institutions between the base period (Sept. 13-26, 1979) and the week
ending Mar. 12, 1980, whichever was greater. For the computation period beginning
May 29,1980, the base was increased by 7'/5 percent above the base used to calculate
the marginal reserve in the statement week of May 14-21, 1980. In addition,
beginning Mar. 19, 1980, the base was reduced to the extent that foreign loans and
balances declined.
5. For existing nonmember banks and thrift institutions at the time of implementation of the Monetary Control Act, the phase-in period ends Sept. 3, 1987.
For existing member banks the phase-in period is about three years, depending on
whether their new reserve requirements are greater or less than the old requirements. For existing agencies and branches of foreign banks, the phase-in ends Aug.
12, 1982. All new institutions will have a two-year phase-in beginning with the date
that they open for business.
6. 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.
7. The Monetary Control Act of 1980 requires that the amount of transaction
accounts against which the 3 percent reserve requirement will apply be modified
annually to 80 percent of the percentage increase in transaction accounts held by
all depository institutions on the previous June 30. At the beginning of 1982 the
amount was accordingly increased from $25 million to $26 million.
8. In general, nonpersonal time deposits are time deposits, including savings
deposits, that are not transaction accounts and in which the 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.
NOTE. Required reserves must be held in the form of deposits with Federal
Reserve Banks or vault cash. After implementation of the Monetary Control Act,
nonmembers may maintain reserves on a pass-through basis with certain approved
institutions.

banks permitted lower minimum denominations. This restriction was removed for
deposits maturing in less than 1 year, effective Nov. 1, 1973.
8. No minimum denomination. Until July 1, 1979, the minimum denomination
was $1,000 except for deposits representing funds contributed to an individual

9. Between July 1, 1973, and Oct. 31, 1973, certificates maturing in 4 years or
more with minimum denominations of $1,000 had no ceiling; however, the amount
of such certificates that an institution could issue was limited to 5 percent of its
total time and savings deposits. Sales in excess of that amount, as well as certificates
of less than $1,000, were limited to the 6V5 percent ceiling on time deposits maturing
in 2V5 years or more. Effective Nov. 1,1973, ceilings were reimposedon certificates
matunng in 4 years or more with minimum denomination of $1,000. There is no

of interest on these deposits is indexed to the discount rate (auction average) on
most recently issued 26-week U.S. Treasury bills. Interest on these certificates may
not be compounded. Effective for all 6-month money market certificates issued
beginning Nov. 1, 1981, depository institutions may pay rates of interest on these
deposits indexed to the higher of (1) the rate for 26-week Treasury bills established
immediately before the aate of deposit (bill rate) or (2) the average of the four
rates for 26-week Treasury bills established for the 4 weeks immediately prior to
the date of deposit (4-week average bill rate). Rate ceilings are determined as
follows:
Bill rate or 4-week
Commercial bank ceiling
average bill rate
7.50 percent or below
7.75 percent
Above 7.50 percent

yield for U.S. Treasury securities as determined and announced by the Treasury
Department immediately before the date of deposit. Thrift institutions may pay
interest on these certificates at a rate not to exceed the average 2'/5 -year yield for
Treasury securities as determined and announced by the Treasury Department
immediately before the date of deposit. If the announced average 2'/5-year yield
for Treasury securities is less than 9.50 percent, commercial banks may pay 9.25
percent and thrift institutions 9.50 percent for these deposits. These deposits have
no required minimum denomination, and interest may be compounded on them.
The ceiling rates of interest at which they may be offered vary biweekly. The
maximum allowable rates in April (in percent) for commercial banks were as
follows: April 13, 14.10; April 27, 13.85; and for thrift institutions: April 13. 14.35;
April 27, 14.10.

deposits not subject to interest rate ceilings when the funds are deposited to the
credit of, or in which the entire beneficial interest is held by, an individual pursuant
to an IRA agreement or Keogh (H.R. 10) plan. Such time deposits must have a
minimum maturity of 18 months, and additions may be made to the time deposit

11 Required reserves
12 Monetary base 4

1. Reserve measures from November 1980 to date reflect a one-time increase—
estimated at $550 million to $600 million—in required reserves associated with the
reduction of week-end avoidance activities of a few large banks.
2. Reserve aggregates include required reserves of member banks and Edge Act
corporations and other depository institutions. Discontinuities associated with the
implementation of the Monetary Control Act, the inclusion of Edge Act corporation
reserves, and other changes in Regulation D have been removed.
3. Reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks (which exclude required clearing balances) plus vault cash at institutions with required reserve balances plus
vault cash equal to required reserves at other institutions.
4. Includes reserve balances and required clearing balances at Federal Reserve
Banks in the current week plus vault cash held two weeks earlier used to satisfy
reserve requirements at all depository institutions plus currency outside the U.S.
Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, the vaults of depository institutions, and surplus
vault cash at depository institutions.




5. Reserves of depository institutions series reflect actual reserve requirement
percentages with no adjustments to eliminate the effect of changes in Regulation
D, including changes associated with the implementation of the Monetary Control
Act. Includes required reserves of member banks and Edge Act corporations and,
beginning Nov. 13, 1980, other depository institutions. Under the transitional phasein program of the Monetary Control Act of 1980, the net changes in required
reserves of depository institutions have been as follows: effective Nov. 13, 1980,
a reduction of $2.8 billion; Feb. 12, 1981, an increase of $245 million; Mar. 12,
1981, an increase of $75 million; May 14, 1981, an increase of $245 million; Aug.
13, 1981, an increase of $245 million; Sept. 3, 1981, a reduction of $1.3 billion;
and Nov. 19, 1981, an increase of $220 million.
NOTE. Latest monthly and weekly figures are available from the Board's H.3(502)
statistical release. Back data and estimates of the impact on required reserves and
changes in reserve requirements are available from the Banking Section, Division
of Research and Statistics, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,

NOTE. Beginning in the week ending Dec. 9, 1981, shifts of assets and liabilities
to international banking facilities (IBFs) reduced the amounts reported in some
items, especially in loans to foreigners and to a lesser extent in time deposits. Based
on preliminary reports, the large weekly reporting banks shifted $4.7 billion of
assets to their IBFs in the five weeks ending Jan. 13, 1982. Domestic offices net
positions with IBFs are now included in net due from or net due to related institutions. More detail will be available later.

NOTE. Beginning in the week ending Dec. 9, 1981, shifts of assets and liabilities
to international banking facilities (IBFs) reduced the amounts reported in some
items, especially in loans to foreigners and to a lesser extent in time deposits. Based
on preliminary reports, the large weekly reporting branches and agencies shifted
$22.2 billion of assets to their IBFs in the six weeks ending Jan. 13,1982. Domestic
offices net positions with IBFs are now included in net due from or net due to
related institutions. More detail will be available later.

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.
2. Beginning with the March 1979 survey, the demand deposit ownership survey
sample was reduced to 232 banks from 349 banks, and the estimation procedure
was modified slightly. T o aid in comparing estimates based on the old and new
reporting sample, the following estimates in billions of dollars for December 1978
have been constructed using the new smaller sample; financial business, 27.0;
nonfinancial business, 146.9; consumer, 98.3; foreign, 2.8; and other, 15.1.
3. D e m a n d deposit ownership data for March 1981 are subject to greater than
normal errors reflecting unusual reporting difficulties associated with funds shifted
to N O W accounts authorized at year-end 1980. For the household category, the
$15.7 billion decline in demand deposits at all commercial banks between December
1980 and March 1981 has an estimated standard error of $4.8 billion.

4. Demand deposit ownership survey estimates for June 1981 are not yet available
due to unresolved reporting errors.
5. After the end of 1978 the large weekly reporting bank panel was changed to
170 large commercial banks, each of which had total assets in domestic offices
exceeding $750 million as of Dec. 31, 1977. See " A n n o u n c e m e n t s , " p. 408 in the
May 1978 BULLETIN. Beginning in March 1979, demand deposit ownership estimates for these large banks are constructed quarterly on the basis of 97 sample
banks and are not comparable with earlier data. The following estimates in billions
of dollars for December 1978 have been constructed for the new large-bank panel;
financial business, 18.2; nonfinancial business, 67.2; consumer, 32.8; foreign, 2.5;
other, 6.8.

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. T h e 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 statement week averages—that is, averages for the week
ending Wednesday.
3. Unweighted average of offering rates quoted by at least five dealers (in the
case of commercial paper), or finance companies (in the case of finance paper).
Before November 1979, maturities for data shown are 30-59 days, 90-119 days,
and 120-179 days for commercial paper; and 30-59 days, 90-119 days, and 150179 days for finance paper.
4. Yields are q u o t e d on a bank-discount basis, rather than an investment yield
basis (which would give a higher figure).
5. Dealer closing o f f e r e d rates for top-rated banks. Most representative rate
(which may be, but need not be, the average of the rates quoted by the dealers).
6. Unweighted average of offered rates quoted by at least five dealers early in
the day.
7. Unweighted average of closing bid rates auoted by at least five dealers.
8. Rates are recorded in the week in which Dills are issued.
9. Yields are based on closing bid prices quoted by at least five dealers.
10. 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.

11. Each weekly figure is calculated on a biweekly basis and is the average of
five business days ending on the Monday following the calendar week. T h e biweekly
rate is used to determine the maximum interest rate payable in the following twoweek period on small saver certificates. (See table 1.16.)
12. Unweighted averages of yields (to maturity or call) for all outstanding notes
and bonds neither due nor callable in less than 10 years, including several very low
yielding "flower" bonds.
13. General obligations only, based on figures for Thursday, from Moody's
Investors Service.
14. General obligations only, with 20 years to maturity, issued by 20 state and
local governmental units of mixed quality. Based on figures for Thursday.
15. Daily figures from Moody's Investors Service. Based on yields to maturity
on selected long-term bonds.
16. Compilation of the Federal Reserve. Issues included are long-term (20 years
or more). New-issue yields are based on quotations on date of offering; those on
recently offered issues (included only for first 4 weeks after termination of underwriter price restrictions), on Friday close-of-business quotations.
17. Standard and Poor's corporate series. Preferred stock ratio based on a sample
of ten issues: four public utilities, four industrials, one financial, and one transportation. Common stock ratios on the 500 stocks in the price index.

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. Margin credit includes all credit extended to purchase or carry stocks or related
equity instruments and secured at least in part by stock. Credit extended is endof-month data for member firms of the New York Stock Exchange.
In addition to assigning a current loan value to margin stock generally, Regulations T and U permit special loan values for convertible bonds and stock acquired
through exercise of subscription rights.
3. A distribution of this total by equity class is shown on lines 17-22.
4. Free credit balances are in accounts with no unfulfilled commitments to the
brokers and are subject to withdrawal by customers on demand.

5. Each customer's equity in his collateral (market value of collateral less net
debit balance) is expressed as a percentage of current collateral values.
6. Balances that may be used by customers as the margin deposit required for
additional purchases. Balances may arise as transfers based on loan values of other
collateral in the customer's margin account or deposits of cash (usually sales proceeds) occur.
7. Regulations G , T, and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, prescribed in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, limit the amount
of credit to purchase and carry margin stocks that may be extended on securities
as collateral by prescribing a maximum loan value, which is a specified percentage
of the market value of the collateral at the time the credit is extended. Margin
requirements are the difference between the market value (100 percent) and the
maximum loan value. The term "margin stocks" is defined in the corresponding
regulation.

1. In September 1977 the Farm Credit Banks issued their first consolidated bonds,
and in January 1979 they began issuing these bonds on a regular basis to replace
the financing activities of the Federal Land Banks, the Federal Intermediate Credit
Banks, and the Banks for Cooperatives. Line 17 represents those consolidated
bonds outstanding, as well as any discount notes that have been issued. Lines 1
and 10 reflect the addition of this item.
2. Consists of mortgages assumed by the Defense Department between 1957 and
1963 under family housing and homeowners assistance programs.
3. Includes participation certificates reclassified as debt beginning Oct. 1, 1976.
4. Off-budget Aug. 17. 1974, through Sept. 30, 1976; on-budget thereafter.
5. Consists of debentures issued in payment of Federal Housing Administration
insurance claims. Once issued, these securities may be sold privately on the securities market.
6. Certificates of participation issued prior to fiscal 1969 by the Government
National Mortgage Association acting as trustee for the Farmers Home Administration; Department of Health, Education, and Welfare; Department

1. 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. Securities owned, and hence dealer
positions, do not include securities to resell (reverse RPs). Before 1981, data for
immediate positions include forward positions.
2. Figures cover financing involving U.S. government and federal agency securities, negotiable CDs, bankers acceptances, and commercial paper.




of Housing and Urban Development; Small Business Administration: and the
Veterans Administration.
7. Off-budget.
8. Unlike other federally sponsored agencies, the Student Loan Marketing Association may borrow from the Federal Financing Bank (FFB) since its obligations
are guaranteed by the Department of Health. Education, and Welfare.
9. The FFB. which began operations in 1974, is authorized to purchase or sell
obligations issued, sold, or guaranteed by other federal agencies. Since F F B incurs
debt solely for the purpose of lending to other agencies, its debt is not included in
the main portion of the table in order to avoid double counting.
10. Includes FFB purchases of agency assets and guaranteed loans; the latter
contain loans guaranteed by numerous agencies with the guarantees of any particular agency being generally small. The Farmers H o m e Administration item consists
exclusively of agency assets, while the Rural Electrification Administration entry
contains both agency assets and guaranteed loans.

3. 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, i.e.. matched agreements.
4. Includes both repurchase agreements undertaken to finance positions and
"matched book" repurchase agreements.
NOTE. 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 shown net and
are on a commitment basis. Data for financing are based on Wednesday figures,
in terms of actual money borrowed or lent.

1. Weighted averages based on sample surveys of mortgages originated by major
institutional lender groups. Compiled by the Federal H o m e 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,
rounded to the nearest 5 basis points; 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. Any gaps in data are due to periods of adjustment to changes in
maximum permissible contract rates.
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 F H A / V A mortgages carrying

quotations for the month.
7. Average gross yields (before deduction of 38 basis points for mortgage servicing) on accepted bids in Federal National Mortgage Association's auctions of
4-month commitments to purchase home mortgages, assuming prepayment in 12
years for 30-year mortgages. No adjustments are made for F N M A commitment
fees or stock related requirements. Monthly figures are unweighted averages for
auctions conducted within the month.
8. Includes some multifamily and nonprofit hospital loan commitments in addition to 1- to 4-family loan commitments accepted in F N M A ' s free market auction
system, and through the F N M A - G N M A tandem plans.
9. Includes participation as well as whole loans.
10. Includes conventional and government-underwritten loans.

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

3.12

not covered in Census statistics, and (b) 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 transactions; military
payments are excluded and shown separately as indicated above.

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 3.13 (the sum of lines 7 through 10) with the claims
of U.S. offices in table 3.17 (excluding those held by agencies and branches of
foreign banks and those constituting claims on own foreign branches). However,
see also footnote 2.
2. Beginning with data for June 1978, the claims of the U.S. offices
in this table include only banks' own claims payable in dollars. For earlier dates




the claims of the U.S. offices also include customer claims and foreign currency
claims (amounting in June 1978 to $10 billion).
3. In addition to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries shown
individually, this group includes other members of O P E C (Algeria, G a b o n , Iran,
Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United A r a b Emirates) as
well as Bahrain and O m a n (not formally members of O P E C ) .
4. Excludes Liberia.
5. Includes Canal Z o n e beginning December 1979.
6. Foreign branch claims only.
7. Includes New Zealand, Liberia, and international and regional organizations.
