FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

Notice of Proposals To Engage in Permissible Nonbanking 
Activities or To Acquire Companies That are Engaged in Permissible 
Nonbanking Activities

    The companies listed in this notice have given notice under section 
4 of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. Sec.  1843) (BHC Act) and 
Regulation      Y, (12 CFR Part 225) to commence or to engage de novo, 
or to acquire or control voting securities or assets of a company that 
engages either directly or through a subsidiary or other company, in a 
nonbanking activity that is listed in Sec.  225.25 of Regulation Y (12 
CFR 225.25) or that the Board has determined by Order to be closely 
related to banking and permissible for bank holding companies. Unless 
otherwise noted, these activities will be conducted throughout the 
United States.
    Each notice is available for inspection at the Federal Reserve Bank 
indicated. Once the notice 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 the proposal complies with the standards of section 4 
of the BHC Act, including 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'' (12 U.S.C. Sec.  1843). 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.
    Unless otherwise noted, comments regarding the applications must be 
received at the Reserve Bank indicated or the offices of the Board of 
Governors not later than March 26, 1996.
