Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 23, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
Reserve Bank of Chicago will cease
processing checks on April 16, 2005,
and banks with routing symbols
currently assigned to that office for
check processing purposes will be
reassigned to the Federal Reserve Bank
of Cleveland’s head office. The Houston
branch office of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Dallas will cease processing
checks on April 23, 2005, and banks
with routing symbols currently assigned
to that office for check processing
purposes will be reassigned to the
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas’s head
office. 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. Because the
Cleveland check processing region will
serve banks located in more than one
Federal Reserve District, banks located
in the expanded Cleveland check
processing region cannot determine that
a check is nonlocal solely because the
paying bank for that check is located in
another Federal Reserve district.
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,
Chicago, and Dallas to conform to the
transfer of operations (1) from the
Chicago Reserve Bank’s Detroit branch
office to the Cleveland Reserve Bank’s
head office and (2) from the Dallas
Reserve Bank’s Houston branch office to
that Reserve Bank’s head office. To
coincide with the effective date of the
underlying check processing changes,
the amendments affecting the Federal
Reserve Banks of Cleveland and Chicago
are effective April 16, 2005, and the
amendments affecting the Federal
Reserve Bank of Dallas are effective
April 23, 2005. 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
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
4 Section 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.

some other Reserve Bank offices, as
described in the September 2004
Federal Register document.
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 Detroit
branch office of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Chicago and reassign the
routing symbols listed under that office
to the head office of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Cleveland and (2) delete the
reference to the Houston branch office
of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
and reassign the routing symbols listed
under that office to the Dallas Reserve
Bank’s head office. 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.

Denied Persons and Specially

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and
Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: This final rule removes all
reference in the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR) to the supplement
containing the list of persons denied
export privileges (‘‘Denied Persons List’’
(DPL)) because no such supplement
exists in the Code of Federal
Regulations. In the past, such a
supplement has been included only in
the unofficial loose-leaf version of the
EAR that is available by subscription
from the U.S. Government Printing
Office. In addition, the Bureau of
Industry and Security provides notice to
the public that it is discontinuing its
practice of including in the loose-leaf
version of the EAR both the DPL and the
‘‘Specially Designated Nationals and
Blocked Persons’’ (SDN) List. Revisions
to the DPL and SDN List are issued on
such a frequent basis as to make the
quarterly, hard-copy versions of the lists
included in the loose-leaf version of the
EAR inaccurate. The removal of the DPL
and SDN List from the loose-leaf version
of the EAR will minimize any potential
that parties might rely on an outdated
list of persons denied export privileges
under the EAR.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule is
effective February 23, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
unofficial loose-leaf version of the
Export Administration Regulations
(EAR) that is available by subscription
from the U.S. Government Printing
Office, the Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) currently publishes, on a
quarterly basis, the list of persons
denied export privileges pursuant to
Parts 764 and 766 of the EAR (‘‘Denied
Persons List’’ (DPL)) and a copy of the
‘‘Specially Designated Nationals and
Blocked Persons’’ (SDN) List, which is
published by the U.S. Treasury
Department, Office of Foreign Assets
Control (OFAC). In the loose-leaf edition
of the EAR, the DPL and the SDN List
have been designated as Supplements
No. 2 and 3, respectively, to Part 764.
However, no such supplements exist in
the Code of Federal Regulations, Title
15 Part 764.
Orders affecting export privileges
under the EAR and revisions to the SDN
List are issued on such a frequent basis
as to make the quarterly, hard-copy
versions of the DPL and the SDN List
inaccurate. As such, BIS is
discontinuing quarterly reprints of these
lists in the loose-leaf edition of the EAR.
The removal of these lists from the
loose-leaf edition of the EAR will
minimize any potential that parties to a
transaction might rely on an outdated
list of persons denied export privileges
under the EAR. BIS maintains a current
compilation of persons denied export
privileges under the EAR on its Web
site, and OFAC maintains a current list
of specially designated nationals on its
Web site. Export privileges are denied
by written order of the Department of
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Commerce; such orders are published in
the Federal Register. These orders are
the official source of information about
denied persons, and are controlling
documents in accordance with their
terms.
This rule removes from § 736.2(b)(4)(i)
and paragraph (a)(1) of Supplement No.
1 to Part 764 language stating that BIS
provides the DPL in the loose-leaf
edition of the EAR. This rule also
revises § 736.2(a)(3) to clarify that, with
respect to the end-user, General
Prohibition Four (§ 736.2(b)(4)) and
Supplement No. 1 to Part 764 of the
EAR should be consulted for references
to persons with whom transactions may
not be permitted, and General
Prohibition Five (§ 736.2(b)(5)) should
be consulted for references to end-users
for whom an export or reexport license
may be required. General Prohibition
Four prohibits actions that are
prohibited by a denial order issued
under Part 766 of the EAR. General
Prohibition Five prohibits any exports
and reexports to an end-user prohibited
by Part 744 of the EAR, which contains
end-user and end-use based controls.
Supplement No. 1 to Part 764 describes
denial orders, which prohibit certain
transactions with named parties
involving items that are subject to the
EAR. Supplement No. 1 to Part 764 also
references the list of persons denied
export privileges.
This rule also makes necessary
conforming changes by removing
references to Supplement No. 2 to Part
764 from §§ 752.11(c)(3), 752.11(c)(4),
and 752.12(a). Finally, this rule revises
§§ 752.9(a)(3)(ii)(G) and 752.12(a) by
removing the procedural requirement of
distributing and retaining copies of the
DPL. Instead, each Special
Comprehensive License (SCL) holder
and each consignee must maintain a
record of its procedures for screening
transactions to prevent violations of
orders denying export privileges. By
making this requirement functional and
results-oriented, this revision will
increase the effectiveness of screening
and reduce the burden on SCL holders
and consignees.
Although the Export Administration
Act expired on August 20, 2001,
Executive Order 13222 of August 17,
2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783
(2002)), as extended most recently by

[Regulation CC; Docket No. R-1224]
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 Detroit branch office of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Chicago and reassign the Federal Reserve routing
symbols currently listed under that office to the head office of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and delete the reference to the
Houston branch office of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and
reassign the routing numbers listed under that office to 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.
DATES: The amendments to appendix A under the Fourth and Seventh
Federal Reserve Districts (Federal Reserve Banks of Cleveland and
Chicago) are effective on April 16, 2005. The amendments to appendix A
under the Eleventh Federal Reserve District (Federal Reserve Bank of
Dallas) are effective on April 23, 2005.

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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For purposes of Regulation CC, the term ``bank'' refers to
any depository institution, including commercial banks, savings
institutions, and credit unions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See 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 https://
www.frbservices.org.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As part of the restructuring process, the Detroit branch office of
the Federal
[[Page 8717]]
Reserve Bank of Chicago will cease processing checks on April 16, 2005,
and banks with routing symbols currently assigned to that office for
check processing purposes will be reassigned to the Federal Reserve
Bank of Cleveland's head office. The Houston branch office of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas will cease processing checks on April
23, 2005, and banks with routing symbols currently assigned to that
office for check processing purposes will be reassigned to the Federal
Reserve Bank of Dallas's head office. 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. Because the Cleveland check processing region will serve
banks located in more than one Federal Reserve District, banks located
in the expanded Cleveland check processing region cannot determine that
a check is nonlocal solely because the paying bank for that check is
located in another Federal Reserve district.
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, Chicago, and Dallas to conform
to the transfer of operations (1) from the Chicago Reserve Bank's
Detroit branch office to the Cleveland Reserve Bank's head office and
(2) from the Dallas Reserve Bank's Houston branch office to that
Reserve Bank's head office. To coincide with the effective date of the
underlying check processing changes, the amendments affecting the
Federal Reserve Banks of Cleveland and Chicago are effective April 16,
2005, and the amendments affecting the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
are effective April 23, 2005. 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 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Section 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.

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 Sec. 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 Detroit branch office of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Chicago and reassign the routing symbols listed under
that office to the head office of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland
and (2) delete the reference to the Houston branch office of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and reassign the routing symbols listed
under that office to the Dallas Reserve Bank's head office. 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 Sec. 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.
