Circular No. 12147

The Federal Reserve Board on Friday announced the annual indexing of the reserve requirement exemption amount and of the low reserve tranche for 2010. These amounts are used in the calculation of reserve requirements of depository institutions. The Board also announced the annual indexing of the nonexempt deposit cutoff level and the reduced reporting limit that will be used to determine deposit reporting panels effective 2010.

For net transaction accounts in 2010, the first $10.7 million, up from $10.3 million in 2009, will be exempt from reserve requirements. A three percent reserve ratio will be assessed on net transaction accounts over $10.7 million up to and including $55.2 million, up from $44.4 million in 2009. A 10 percent reserve ratio will be assessed on net transaction accounts in excess of $55.2 million.

For depository institutions that report weekly, the low reserve tranche adjustment and the reserve requirement exemption amount adjustment will apply to the fourteen-day reserve computation period that begins Tuesday, December 1, 2009, and the corresponding fourteen-day reserve maintenance period that begins Thursday, December 31, 2009.

For depository institutions that report quarterly, the low reserve tranche adjustment and the reserve requirement exemption amount adjustment will apply to the seven-day reserve computation period that begins Tuesday, December 15, 2009, and the corresponding seven-day reserve maintenance period that begins Thursday, January 14, 2010.
