The U.S. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System adopted a proposal to extend for three years, with revisions, certain forms, including the Interagency Notice of Change in Control (FR 2081a), Interagency Notice of Change in Director or Senior Executive Officer (FR 2081b), Interagency Biographical and Financial Report (FR 2081c) and the Interagency Bank Merger Act Application (FR 2070) forms. The revisions to the Interagency Bank Merger Act Application form include additional requested items, such as projected financial statements and capital figures as of the end of each of the first three years of operation following consummation of the merger.  In doing so, the Federal Reserve Board noted that the form’s prior requirement of one year of projected financial statements was not viewed as sufficient.  The Federal Reserve Board also explained that the additional requested items in the revised Bank Merger Act Application form are typically requested in follow-up questions in connection with the application, and that the changes will increase the efficiency with which Bank Merger Act applications are processed. The revisions to the Bank Merger Act Application form also include clarifications, the deletion of certain requested items, definition updates and minor editing changes. The notice highlights that the Federal Reserve Board worked with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in drafting the revisions to these forms.
