The Board is amending Regulation D, Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions, to reflect the annual indexing of the low reserve tranche and the reserve requirement exemption for 2000, and announces the annual indexing of the deposit reporting cutoff levels that will be effective beginning in September 2000. The amendments decrease the amount of transaction accounts subject to a reserve requirement ratio of three percent in 2000, as required by section 19(b)(2)(C) of the Federal Reserve Act, from $46.5 million to $44.3 million of net transaction accounts.

(Nonexempt institutions are those with total reservable liabilities exceeding the amount exempted from reserve requirements ($5.0 million) while exempt institutions are those with total reservable liabilities not exceeding the amount exempted from reserve requirements.) Thus, beginning in September 2000, nonexempt institutions with total deposits of $84.5 million or more will be required to report weekly while nonexempt institutions with total deposits less than $84.5 million may report quarterly, in both cases on form FR 2900. Similarly, exempt institutions with total deposits of $54.3 million or more will be required to report quarterly on form FR 2910q while exempt institutions with total deposi
