IMPORTANT:

*     Banks informed of composite CAMELS/ROCA ratings of 3, 4, or 5 as of June 30, 2004, should add 50%, 100%, or 100% respectively over and above their regular assessment fee, based on the first $20 billion in assets.

*     Non-lead national banks are entitled to a 12% discount.  The rule defines a non-lead bank as a national bank that is not the largest national bank, based on total assets, controlled by a company owning two or more national banks.

*     Banks that own other banks and file a CONSOLIDATED call report, should deduct the assets of the subsidiary banks before computing and calling in their assessment fee to ensure assets are not assessed twice.
