This bulletin identifies final domestic applications filed in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District during the week ended August 15, 1997. The bulletin is published weekly as a courtesy of the Federal Reserve and does not constitute notice of these applications. The bulletin also contains a list (Section V) of those state-member banks which have been examined for CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) and whose public disclosure assessment is now available.

Members of the public may comment on an application; however, 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 change in control notices and bank holding company applications 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 Patricia Marshall at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at 101 Market Street, San Francisco, California 94105, or by telephone at 415-974-2963.

If you cannot submit your comments by the end of the 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 made no later than the last day 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 Section 262.25(B), 49 Federal Register 5603 (February 14, 1984).

In addition to submitting written materials, you may request that a public meeting or hearing, or both, be held on an application. You should indicate the matters that you intend to discuss at such a proceeding and explain why you could not provide these comments in writing. The Federal Reserve may request that you attend a private meeting or provide additional information prior to making a determination on your request for a public meeting or hearing. For further information on the Board's policy concerning the holding of public meetings, please see the Board's Policy Statement for the Handling of Protested Applications found at 12 CFR Section 262.25(C) and (D).
