To All Depository Institutions and Others Concerned in the Second Federal Reserve District:
In a press release, the Federal Reserve Board announced amendments to Appendix A of Regulation CC, effective July 10, 2004 that reflect the restructuring of the Federal Reserve's check processing operations in the Eleventh District. These amendments are part of a series of amendments to Appendix A that will take place through the end of 2004, as part of the previously announced restructuring of the Reserve Bank's check processing operations. For further details on the restructuring process, access Circular 11511.
Appendix A provides a routing number guide that helps depository institutions determine the maximum permissible hold periods for most deposited checks. As of July 10, 2004, the San Antonio office of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas no longer will process checks. Banks currently served by that office for check processing purposes will be reassigned to the Reserve Bank's head office in Dallas. To reflect this operational change, the final rule deletes the reference in Appendix A to the San Antonio office and reassigns the routing numbers listed thereunder to the Reserve Bank's head office. As a result of this change, some checks deposited in the affected regions that currently are nonlocal checks will become local checks that are subject to shorter permissible hold periods.
