OF INSURED STATUS
FDIC-95-58a
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of section 8(a)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(a)(1), the New York Branch of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya, S.A., located at 116 East 55th Street, New York City (Manhattan), New York ("Insured Branch"), notified the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), by letter dated September 28, 1994, which was received by the FDIC on October 17, 1994, that it was no longer desirous of continuing its status as an insured state licensed branch of a foreign bank and wished to voluntarily terminate its insured status; and
WHEREAS, the Insured Branch is also desirous of having the time frame during which the deposits of the Insured Branch continue to be insured reduced to six months as provided in section 8(a)(7) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(a)(7); and
WHEREAS, as of November 30, 1994, the Insured Branch was no longer engaged in domestic retail deposit activity as defined in Part 346 of the FDIC's Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. Part 346, as limited by the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, and the Insured Branch no longer intended to engage in domestic retail deposit activity; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to section 18(i) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1828(i), the FDIC has considered the factors contained therein as they apply to the Insured Branch, and has determined that no reason exists to prevent the Insured Branch from voluntarily terminating its insured status and that a six-month period for continued insurance coverage would be appropriate under the circumstances presented.
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and pursuant to the provisions of sections 8(a)(1) and 8(a)(7) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(a)(1) and (7), the FDIC herewith accepts the Insured Branch's notification of voluntary termination of insured status and issues the following:
