FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

Norwest Corporation, et al.; Acquisitions of Companies Engaged in 
Permissible Nonbanking Activities

    The organizations listed in this notice have applied under Sec.  
225.23(a)(2) or (f) of the Board's Regulation Y (12 CFR 225.23(a)(2) or 
(f)) for the Board's approval under section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding 
Company Act (12 U.S.C. 1843(c)(8)) and Sec.  225.21(a) of Regulation Y 
(12 CFR 225.21(a)) to acquire or control voting securities or assets of 
a company engaged in a nonbanking activity that is listed in Sec.  
225.25 of Regulation Y as closely related to banking and permissible 
for bank holding companies. Unless otherwise noted, such activities 
will be conducted throughout the United States.
    Each application is available for immediate inspection at the 
Federal Reserve Bank indicated. Once the [[Page 8661]] application has 
been accepted for processing, it will also be available for inspection 
at the offices of the Board of Governors. Interested persons may 
express their views in writing on the question whether consummation of 
the proposal can ``reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the 
public, such as greater convenience, increased competition, or gains in 
efficiency, that outweigh possible adverse effects, such as undue 
concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts 
of interests, or unsound banking practices.'' Any request for a hearing 
on this question must be accompanied by a statement of the reasons a 
written presentation would not suffice in lieu of a hearing, 
identifying specifically any questions of fact that are in dispute, 
summarizing the evidence that would be presented at a hearing, and 
indicating how the party commenting would be aggrieved by approval of 
the proposal.
    Comments regarding each of these applications must be received at 
the Reserve Bank indicated or the offices of the Board of Governors not 
later than March 1, 1995, unless otherwise indicated.
