DIVISION OF BANKING
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION


SR 93-7 (IB)
January 29, 1993

TO THE OFFICER IN CHARGE OF SUPERVISION
          AT EACH FEDERAL RESERVE BANK


SUBJECT: Adoption of Minimum Timing Standards for the Completion of International Examination Reports

                        Although not mentioned in SR 93-4 (FIS), the policy that examination reports issued by the Federal Reserve must be completed and mailed within a maximum of 60 calendar days (commencing the day following the examiner's exit meeting) also applies to all international organizations.  Specifically, this standard applies to reports for all Edge Act and agreement corporations, U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks, foreign subsidiaries and branches of U.S. banks, and foreign representative offices, regardless of complexity.  For institutions rated 3, 4, or 5, Reserve Banks are also encouraged to adopt an internal target of 45 calendar days for processing and mailing reports.  In cases where reports are issued jointly with other agencies, this standard may be extended at the discretion of senior management at the Reserve Bank.  

                        Should you have any questions regarding this policy, please call Joe Sciortino (ext. 2294).


William A. Ryback
Associate Director
