The Federal Reserve Act (FRA) requires
a state member bank to seek prior Board approval before making an
investment in bank premises that exceeds certain thresholds. There
is no formal reporting form (the FR 4014 designation is for
internal purposes only) and each request for prior approval must be
filed with the Reserve Bank that has direct supervisory
responsibility for the state member bank. The Board uses the
information provided in the notice to fulfill its statutory
obligation to supervise state member banks.
