Premier Insurance Services, Inc., et al.; Acquisitions of
Companies Engaged in Permissible Nonbanking Activities
The organizations listed in this notice have applied under Sec.
225.23(a)(2) or (f) of the Board's Regulation Y (12 CFR 225.23(a)(2) or
(f)) for the Board's approval under section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding
Company Act (12 U.S.C. 1843(c)(8)) and Sec. 225.21(a) of Regulation Y
(12 CFR 225.21(a)) to acquire or control voting securities or assets of
a company engaged in a nonbanking activity that is listed in Sec.
225.25 of Regulation Y as closely related to banking and permissible
for bank holding companies. Unless otherwise noted, such activities
will be conducted throughout the United States.
Each application is available for immediate inspection at the
Federal Reserve Bank indicated. Once the application has been accepted
for processing, it will also be available for inspection at the offices
of the Board of Governors. Interested persons may express their views
in writing on the question whether consummation of the
[[Page 58627]]
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.'' 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,
identifying specifically any questions of fact that are in dispute,
summarizing the evidence that would be presented at a hearing, and
indicating how the party commenting would be aggrieved by approval of
the proposal.
Unless otherwise noted, comments regarding each of these
applications must be received at the Reserve Bank indicated for the
application or the offices of the Board of Governors not later than
December 12, 1995.
