or control voting securities or assets of a company that engages either
directly or through a subsidiary or other company, in a nonbanking

Each notice is available for inspection at the Federal Reserve Bank

question whether the proposal complies with the standards of section 4

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. 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,
