Type: 2070
Description: Interagency Bank Merger Application, filed at the FRB
Filing Deadline: Must be filed before merging or consolidating with an institution, acquiring its assets, or assuming the liability for its deposits.
Relevant Legislation: Instituted in 1960 with the enactment of the Bank Merger Act as Section 18(c) of the Federal Deposit Act. Discontinued in 1990 at the same time that the Application for Prior approval for a Bank Holding Company to acquire an additional bank or bank holding company (FR Y-2) was amended to include proposals filed pursuant to Section 18(c) of the FDI Act and Section 9 of the Federal Reserve Act. Subsequent experience indicated that a separate FR 2070 application would be easier to use, and was reinstated in 1994. In 1998 the application was reformatted for use by the four federal banking regulatory agencies and was retitled the Interagency Bank Merger Act Application.
   
Type: 2081
Description: Application at FRB for Change-in-Control under Bank Holding Company Act
Filing Deadline: Sections FR 2081a and FR 2081b of this filing must be filed at least sixty days and thirty days, respectively, prior to the proposed changes. FR 2081c must be filed along with both the FR 2081 and the FR 2081b as well as with other applications.
Relevant Legislation: The notice of change in Bank Control originated in 1979 as a result of the enactment of the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978. In 1996, the single notice was changed to three separate interagency reports. The change in Bank Control Act requires prior notice from individuals involved in changes in the contolling ownership of a financial institution (now reported on FR 2081a). Section 914 of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) requires depository institutions to give prior notice of a proposed addition of any individual to the Board of Directors or the employment of an individual as a Senior Executive Officer (FR 2081b). The evaluation of transactions under both of these acts requires background information on the individuals involved (FR 2081c).
