Circular
Comments Requested on Proposed Changes to Regulations D and I
February 8, 2008
Circular No. 11933

The Federal Reserve Board has requested public comment on proposed changes to Regulation D (Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions) and Regulation I (Issue and Cancellation of Federal Reserve Bank Stock) to incorporate provisions of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006.

The Federal Reserve Act imposes reserve requirements on certain deposits and other liabilities (primarily checking accounts) of depository institutions. Depository institutions may maintain a balance directly with a Federal Reserve Bank or with a correspondent institution that, in turn, holds reserve balances for respondents in a Federal Reserve account on a "pass-through" basis.

The proposed amendments would also remove certain restrictions on the way depository institutions maintain required reserves and clarify and update other provisions of the regulations.

See the press release for full details.
