Comments on Applications
If members of the public want
to comment on an application, comments must be received
by the Federal Reserve on or before the last day of
the comment period. The comment period ends no earlier
than the date specified in the newspaper notice and,
in the case of bank holding company application for
which a Federal Register notice is published, may end
later than that date. If you have any questions concerning
procedures that should be followed in commenting on
an application, you may contact Vincent G. Pacheco
at (214) 922-6244.
If you cannot submit your comments
by the end of the time period, you may request an extension
of time by contacting the Secretary of the Federal Reserve
Board, Washington, D.C. 20551. Your request for an extension
of time must be received no later than the last date
of the comment period and should explain why you are
unable to submit your comments on time. You will find
more information on how to request additional time in
the Code of Federal Regulations ("CFR") at 12 CFR #
262.25(B) (as revised, Press Release January 31, 1984,
49 Federal Register 5603 [February 14, 1984]).
Public Meetings
For information on the Board's
policy concerning the holding of public meetings, please
see the Board's Policy Statement for Handling Protested
Applications, 12 CFR # 262.25(C) and (D) (1984). The
procedure for requesting a hearing can be found at 12
CFR # 262.3(e). You may wish to consult A Citizen's
Guide to CRA, published by the Federal
Financial Institutions Examination Council [off-site].
CRA evaluations are available
to the public 30 business days after the institution
receives the evaluation. Section V of this Bulletin
lists those institutions where the 30-business days
expired this week. If members of the public want information
concerning a particular evaluation, requests should
be made directly to the institution. The institution
must provide a copy of this evaluation to the public
upon request and may charge a fee, not to exceed actual
costs, for reproduction and mailing. If you have any
questions concerning procedures that should be followed
to obtain information, you may contact Ms.
Diane van Gelder, at (214) 922-6282.
