                       TITLE 12--BANKS AND BANKING
 
                   CHAPTER II--FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
 
PART 225--BANK HOLDING COMPANIES AND CHANGE IN BANK CONTROL (REGULATION Y)--Table of Contents
 
           Subpart B--Acquisition of Bank Securities or Assets
 
Sec. 225.15  Procedures for other bank acquisition proposals.

    (a) Filing application. Except as provided in Sec. 225.14, an 
application for the Board's prior approval under this subpart shall be 
governed by the provisions of this section and shall be filed with the 
appropriate Reserve Bank on the designated form.
    (b) Notice to primary banking supervisor. Upon receipt of an 
application under this subpart, the Reserve Bank shall promptly furnish 
notice and a copy of the application to the primary banking supervisor 
of each bank to be acquired. The primary supervisor shall have 30 
calendar days from the date of the letter giving notice in which to 
submit its views and recommendations to the Board.
    (c) Accepting application for processing. Within 7 calendar days 
after the Reserve Bank receives an application under this section, the 
Reserve Bank shall accept it for processing as of the date the 
application was filed or return the application if it is substantially 
incomplete. Upon accepting an application, the Reserve Bank shall 
immediately send copies to the Board. The Reserve Bank or the Board may 
request additional information necessary to complete the record of an 
application at any time after accepting the application for processing.
    (d) Action on applications--(1) Action under delegated authority. 
The Reserve Bank shall approve an application under this section within 
30 calendar days after the acceptance date for the application, unless 
the Reserve Bank, upon notice to the applicant, refers the application 
to the Board for decision because action under delegated authority is 
not appropriate.
    (2) Board action. The Board shall act on an application under this 
subpart that is referred to it for decision within 60 calendar days 
after the acceptance date for the application, unless the Board notifies 
the applicant that the 60-day period is being extended for a specified 
period and states the reasons for the extension. In no event may the

extension exceed the 91-day period provided in Sec. 225.16(f). The Board 
may, at any time, request additional information that it believes is 
necessary for its decision.
