Federal Reserve System (12 CFR part 208) require a state member bank to 
seek prior approval of the Federal Reserve System before establishing

to notify the Federal Reserve by letter of its intent to establish one

appropriate newspaper(s). The applicant may include with its letter a

provided by the applicant to fulfill its statutory obligation to review 
branch applications before acting on the proposals and to otherwise 
supervise state member banks.

    Total estimated number of respondents: 179.
