In the Matter of
THE PEOPLES STATE BANK

The Peoples State Bank, Ellettsville, Indiana ("Bank")
has been advised of the right to receive a NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT OF
CIVIL MONEY PENALTY, FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, AND
NOTICE OF HEARING ("NOTICE") issued by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") detailing the violations for which
a civil money penalty may be assessed against the Bank pursuant to the
Flood Disaster Protection Act ("Flood Act"), as amended, 42
U.S.C. §4012a, section 8(i)(2) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act
("FDI Act") 12 U.S.C. §1818(i)(2), and Part 339 of the FDIC
Rules
{{2-28-02 p.C-5307}}
and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. Part 339, and has been further advised
of the right to a hearing on the alleged charges under the Flood Act,
42 U.S.C.§4012a(f), section 8(i) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C.
§1818(i), and the FDIC Rules of Practice and Procedure, 12 C.F.R.
Part 308.
Having waived those rights, the Bank entered into a STIPULATION AND
CONSENT TO PAY CIVIL MONEY PENALTY ("AGREEMENT") with a
representative of the Legal Division of the FDIC dated September 20,
2001, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without
admitting or denying any violations, the Bank consented and agreed to
pay a civil money penalty in the amount of $10,000.00 related to 176
loans where the flood determination was made after the loan was closed
and the funds were extended, 172 loans where no determination had been
performed, and 26 loans in special flood hazard areas where no flood
insurance was in place and no notice was provided to the borrowers in
13 of the 26 loans as identified in the December 19, 2000 Compliance
Report of Examination.
The FDIC considered the matter and determined it had reason to believe
that the Bank has engaged or participated in violations of law or
regulations for which a civil money penalty of $10,000.00 is
appropriate to be assessed against the Bank, pursuant to the Flood Act,
42 U.S.C. §4012a, section 8(i)(2) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C.
§1818(i)(2), and Part 339 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12
C.F.R. Part 339.

8(i)(2) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(i)(2), and Part 339 of the
