The Royal Bank of Canada; Acquisition of Company Engaged in 
Permissible Nonbanking Activities

    The organization listed in this notice has 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 closely related to 
banking and permissible for bank holding companies. Unless otherwise 
noted, such activities will be conducted throughout the United States.
    The application is available for immediate inspection at the 
Federal Reserve Bank indicated. Once the application has been accepted 
for processing, it will also be available for inspection at the offices 
of the Board of [[Page 19065]] 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 the application must be received at the Reserve 
Bank indicated or the offices of the Board of Governors not later than 
April 28, 1995.
