SUBJECT:

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND COMPLIANCE OFFICER
Banking Agencies Issue Host State Loan-to-Deposit Ratios

e

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency have issued the host state loan-to-deposit ratios that the agencies
will use to determine compliance with Section 109 of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and
Branching Efficiency Act of 1994. Section 109 prohibits any bank from establishing or acquiring
a branch outside of its home state primarily for the purpose of deposit production, and one test
of compliance with the law involves a comparison of the bank's statewide loan-to-deposit ratio to
the host state's loan-to-deposit ratio.

the host state loan-to-deposit ratios. This letter supercedes the previous one on the subject
issued last year (FIL-88-98, dated August 17, 1998).
