Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 217 / Thursday, November 8, 2012 / Notices
the Board recognized that correspondent
bank balance sheets and ROE are
typically driven largely by services that
are not similar to those provided by the
Reserve Banks. Because the contractual
clearing balance program has been
eliminated and correspondent banks are
not the primary competitors of the
Reserve Banks’ priced services,
correspondent banks no longer serve as
the best PSAF benchmark peer group.
User-owned utilities are increasingly
becoming the Reserve Banks’ key priced
services competitors; however, because
no reliable comparative data are
publicly available for the user-owned
utilities, it also does not provide a
viable model for the PSAF. Lacking a
more specific viable peer group, the
Board believes modeling the PSAF on a
PTF model is appropriate. The Board
believes that such a change in the PSAF
methodology does not have a direct and
material adverse effect on the ability of
other service providers to compete
effectively with Reserve Banks in
providing similar services. Rather, the
Board believes that this PSAF revision
will facilitate competition between the
Reserve Banks and private-sector
providers.
