The Federal Reserve Act (FRA) and the
Board’s Regulation H - Membership of State Banking Institutions in
the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 208) require a state member bank
to seek the prior approval of the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank
before making an investment in bank premises that exceeds certain
thresholds. There is no required 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 requesting state member bank.
The Federal Reserve uses the information provided in the notice to
supervise state member banks.
