FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 

12 CFR Part 229 

[Regulation CC; Docket No. R–1237] 

Availability of Funds and Collection of 

Checks 

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: The Board of Governors is 

amending appendix A of Regulation CC 

to delete the reference to the Oklahoma 

City branch office of the Federal Reserve 

Bank of Kansas City and reassign the 

Federal Reserve routing symbols 

currently listed under that office to the 

head office of the Federal Reserve Bank 

of Dallas and delete the reference to the 

Columbus office of the Federal Reserve 

Bank of Cleveland and reassign the 

routing symbols listed under that office 

to the Cincinnati branch office and the 

head office of that Reserve Bank. These 

amendments will ensure that the 

information in appendix A accurately 

describes the actual structure of check 

processing operations within the 

Federal Reserve System. The 

amendments to the routing symbol lists 

in appendix A under the Federal 

Reserve Bank of Cleveland differ from 

the Board’s September 28, 2004, general 

advance notice. (See 69 FR 57837.) 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 200 / Tuesday, October 18, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 60419 

1For purposes of Regulation CC, the term ‘‘bank’’

refers to any depository institution, including 

commercial banks, savings institutions, and credit 

unions. 

2See 69 FR 57837, September 28, 2004. 

3 In addition to the general advance notice of 

future amendments provided by the Board, and the 

Board’s notices of final amendments, the Reserve 

Banks are striving to inform affected depository 

institutions of the exact date of each office 

transition at least 120 days in advance. The Reserve 

Banks’ communications to affected depository 

institutions are available at www.frbservices.org. 

4Section 229.18(e) of Regulation CC requires that 

banks notify account holders who are consumers 

within 30 days after implementing a change that 

improves the availability of funds. 

DATES: The amendments to appendix A 

under the Tenth and Eleventh Federal 

Reserve Districts (Federal Reserve Banks 

of Kansas City and Dallas) are effective 

on December 10, 2005. The amendments 

to appendix A under the Fourth Federal 

Reserve District (Federal Reserve Bank 

of Cleveland) that revise the listings for 

the Cincinnati Branch office and amend 

the listings for the Columbus office are 

effective January 21, 2006. The 

amendments to appendix A under the 

Fourth Federal Reserve District that 

revise the listings for the Cleveland 

head office and delete the remaining 

listings for the Columbus office are 

effective February 11, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulation 

CC establishes the maximum period a 

depositary bank may wait between 

receiving a deposit and making the 

deposited funds available for 

withdrawal.1 A depositary bank 

generally must provide faster 

availability for funds deposited by a 

local check than by a nonlocal check. A 

check drawn on a bank is considered 

local if it is payable by or at a bank 

located in the same Federal Reserve 

check processing region as the 

depositary bank. A check drawn on a 

nonbank is considered local if it is 

payable through a bank located in the 

same Federal Reserve check processing 

region as the depositary bank. Checks 

that do not meet the requirements for 

local checks are considered nonlocal. 

Appendix A to Regulation CC 

contains a routing number guide that 

assists banks in identifying local and 

nonlocal banks and thereby determining 

the maximum permissible hold periods 

for most deposited checks. The 

appendix includes a list of each Federal 

Reserve check processing office and the 

first four digits of the routing number, 

known as the Federal Reserve routing 

symbol, of each bank that is served by 

that office for check processing 

purposes. Banks whose Federal Reserve 

routing symbols are grouped under the 

same office are in the same check 

processing region and thus are local to 

one another. 

As explained in detail in the Board’s 

final rule published in the Federal 

Register on September 28, 2004, the 

Federal Reserve Banks have decided to 

reduce further the number of locations 

at which they process checks.2 The 

amendments set forth in this notice are 

part of a series of appendix A 

amendments related to that decision, 

and the Board will issue separate 

notices for each phase of the 

restructuring.3

As part of the restructuring process, 

the Oklahoma City branch office of the 

Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City 

will cease processing checks on 

December 10, 2005, and banks with 

routing symbols currently assigned to 

that office for check processing 

purposes will be reassigned to the head 

office of the Federal Reserve Bank of 

Dallas. Also as part of the restructuring 

process, on January 21, 2006, banks 

with 0442 and 2442 routing symbols, 

currently assigned to the Columbus 

office of the Federal Reserve Bank of 

Cleveland for check processing 

purposes, will be reassigned to the 

Cleveland Reserve Bank’s Cincinnati 

branch office. On February 11, 2006, 

banks with 0440, 2440, 0441, and 2441 

routing symbols, also currently assigned 

to the Columbus office for check 

processing purposes, will be reassigned 

to the Cleveland Reserve Bank’s head 

office and the Columbus office will 

cease processing checks. Banks in the 

current Columbus, Cincinnati, and 

Cleveland check processing regions 

should note that the Reserve Banks’

transfer of the Columbus office’s check 

processing operations to both the 

Cincinnati branch office and the 

Cleveland head office differs from prior 

Federal Reserve Bank announcements 

indicating that the entirety of the 

Columbus office’s operations would be 

transferred to the Cleveland head office. 

The Reserve Banks believe that this 

arrangement will better serve the needs 

of affected depository institutions. 

Because the Dallas, Cincinnati, and 

Cleveland check processing regions 

serve, or will serve as a result of these 

changes, banks located in multiple 

Federal Reserve districts, banks located 

in these regions cannot determine that 

a check is nonlocal solely because the 

paying bank for that check is located in 

another Federal Reserve district. As a 

result of these changes, some checks 

that are drawn on and deposited at 

banks located in the affected check 

processing regions and that currently 

are nonlocal checks will become local 

checks subject to faster availability 

schedules. 

To assist banks in identifying local 

and nonlocal banks, the Board 

accordingly is amending the lists of 

routing symbols associated with the 

Federal Reserve Banks of Cleveland, 

Kansas City, and Dallas to conform to 

the transfer of operations from the 

Kansas City Reserve Bank’s Oklahoma 

City branch office to the Dallas Reserve 

Bank’s head office and from the 

Cleveland Reserve Bank’s Columbus 

office to that Reserve Bank’s Cincinnati 

branch office and head office. To 

coincide with the effective date of the 

underlying check processing changes, 

the amendments affecting the Federal 

Reserve Banks of Kansas City and Dallas 

are effective December 10, 2005. The 

amendments affecting the Federal 

Reserve Bank of Cleveland that list the 

0442 and 2442 routing symbols under 

the Cincinnati Branch office are 

effective January 21, 2006, and the 

amendments that list the 0440, 2440, 

0441, and 2441 routing symbols under 

the head office and delete the reference 

to the Columbus office are effective 

February 11, 2006. 

The Board is providing advance 

notice of these amendments to give 

affected banks ample time to make any 

needed processing changes. The 

advance notice also will enable affected 

banks to amend their availability 

schedules and related disclosures, if 

necessary, and provide their customers 

with notice of these changes.4 The 

Board is providing earlier-than-usual 

notice of the amendments to the 

appendix A routing symbol lists under 

the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland 

because these amendments differ from 

what was set forth in the September 28, 

2004, general advance notice. The 

Federal Reserve routing symbols 

assigned to all other Federal Reserve 

branches and offices will remain the 

same at this time. The Board of 

Governors, however, intends to issue 

similar notices at least sixty days prior 

to the elimination of check operations at 

some other Reserve Bank offices, as 

described in the September 2004 

Federal Register document. 

60420 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 200 / Tuesday, October 18, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 

Administrative Procedure Act 

The Board has not followed the 

provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(b) relating to 

notice and public participation in 

connection with the adoption of this 

final rule. The revisions to the appendix 

are technical in nature, and the routing 

symbol revisions are required by the 

statutory and regulatory definitions of 

‘‘check-processing region.’’ Because 

there is no substantive change on which 

to seek public input, the Board has 

determined that the § 553(b) notice and 

comment procedures are unnecessary. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506; 

5 CFR 1320 Appendix A.1), the Board 

has reviewed the final rule under 

authority delegated to the Board by the 

Office of Management and Budget. 

These technical amendments to 

appendix A of Regulation CC will (1) 

delete the reference to the Oklahoma 

City branch office of the Federal Reserve 

Bank of Kansas City and reassign the 

Federal Reserve routing symbols 

currently listed under that office to the 

head office of the Federal Reserve Bank 

of Dallas and (2) delete the reference to 

the Columbus office of the Federal 

Reserve Bank of Cleveland and reassign 

the routing symbols listed under that 

office to the Cincinnati Branch office 

and the head office of that Reserve 

Bank. The depository institutions that 

are located in the affected check 

processing regions and that include the 

routing numbers in their disclosure 

statements would be required to notify 

customers of the resulting change in 

availability under § 229.18(e). However, 

because all paperwork collection 

procedures associated with Regulation 

CC already are in place, the Board 

anticipates that no additional burden 

will be imposed as a result of this 

rulemaking.
