Whitewater Bancorp, Inc.; Notice of

Application to Engage de novo in

Permissible Nonbanking Activities

The company listed in this notice has

filed an application under § 225.23(a)(1)

of the Board’s Regulation Y (12 CFR

225.23(a)(1)) for the Board’s approval

under section 4(c)(8) of the Bank

Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C.

1843(c)(8)) and § 225.21(a) of Regulation

Y (12 CFR 225.21(a)) to commence or to

engage de novo, either directly or

through a subsidiary, in a nonbanking

activity that is listed in § 225.25 of

Regulation Y as closely related to

banking and permissible for bank

holding companies. Unless otherwise

noted, such activities will be conducted

throughout the United States.

The application is available for

immediate inspection at the Federal

Reserve Bank indicated. Once the

application has been accepted for

processing, it will also be available for

inspection at the offices of the Board of

Governors. Interested persons may

express their views in writing on the

question whether consummation of the

proposal can ‘‘reasonably be expected to

produce benefits to the public, such as

greater convenience, increased

competition, or gains in efficiency, that

outweigh possible adverse effects, such

as undue concentration of resources,

decreased or unfair competition,

conflicts of interests, or unsound

banking practices.’’ Any request for a

hearing on this question must be

accompanied by a statement of the

reasons a written presentation would

not suffice in lieu of a hearing,

identifying specifically any questions of

fact that are in dispute, summarizing the

evidence that would be presented at a

hearing, and indicating how the party

commenting would be aggrieved by

approval of the proposal.

Comments regarding the application

must be received at the Reserve Bank

indicated or the offices of the Board of

Governors not later than February 22,

1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Under Section 1115 of the Social

Security Act (the Act), the Secretary of

Health and Human Services (HHS) may

approve research and demonstration

project proposals with a broad range of

policy objectives.

In exercising her discretionary

authority, the Secretary has developed a

number of policies and procedures for

reviewing proposals. On September 27,

1994, we published a notice in the

Federal Register (59 FR 49249) that

specified (1) the principles that we

ordinarily will consider when

approving or disapproving

demonstration projects under the

authority in section 1115(a) of the Act;

(2) the procedures we expect States to

use in involving the public in the

development of proposed demonstration

projects under section 1115; and (3) the

procedures we ordinarily will follow in

reviewing demonstration proposals. We

are committed to a thorough and

expeditious review of State requests to

conduct such demonstrations.

1994

As part of our procedures, we are
