Vol. 9 No. 28 November3,1980 Des Moines, Iowa Fed to Simplify Reserve Requirements H E Federal Reserve Board has announced an increase in the number of financial institutions that may follow simplified procedures under the reporting and reserve requirem ent p rovision s o f the Monetary Control A c t of 1980. This will substantially reduce the report ing burden for small institutions. The board deferred all reserve and reporting requirements for non m em ber d ep o sitory in stitu tion s with less than $2 million in total de posits (as o f December 31, 1979) until M ay, 1981. A t the same time, the board adopted a procedure for quarterly reporting and reserve maintenance for institutions be tween $2 million and $15 million in to ta l deposits b egin n in g n ext January. Between now and January 14, non-member institutions with de posits between $2 million and $15 million will not be required to report or hold reserves. N ember banks of this size will contir.ue to report and hold reserves weekly during that period. Institutions with $15 million or more in total deposits are required to report weekly to the Federal Re serve (beginning with the reporting week of October 30-November 4) and begin maintaining reserve re quirements on November 13. T #»* Burden When the board issued its revised r' ÿ K, I regulation on reserve requirements last August, it sought to hold down the burden for small institutions by adopting a deferred status for non members with less than $1 million in total deposits and quarterly report ing and resérve for institutions be tween $1 million and $5 million. Since that time, the Federal R e serve banks have conducted hun dreds of meetings and seminars with depository institutions that will be affected by the Monetary Control Act, instructing them on the pro visions of the act and the reports and reserves that are required by it. A s a result of the information gathered at these meetings and from analysis of more recent data, the board decided that it could adopt simplified procedures for a larger number of small institutions with out any substantive impact on the system’s ability to control the monetary aggregates. The M C A extended Federal reserve require ments to all depository institutions that offer transaction accounts and accept non-personal time deposits. The deferral of reporting and re serve requirements for non-member institutions with less than $2 million in deposits will affect about 17,000 institutions, primarily credit un ions. These institutions, however, hold less than V% % of deposits in all affected institutions—commercial banks, mutual savings banks, sav ings and loan associations and credit unions. Quarterly Reports Alm ost 10,000 institutions with deposits between $2 million and $15 million will be affected by quart erly reporting and reserve mainten ance beginning January, 1981. These institutions hold less than 4 % of all deposits. Consequently, the simplified pro cedures will relieve a reporting burden for 27,000 institutions— about two-thirds of the total covered by the new law—which hold only 4.33% of all deposits. The great bulk of these institutions could cover any required reserves with vault cash and would not be re quired to deposit funds with the F ederal Reserve in any case. □ Iowa News BOONE: John Wassenaar, presi dent o f Citizens National Bank, has CALL ON THE “PERFORMANCE TEA M ” where common transactions r- * * are handled uncommonly well.
