    Formations of, Acquisitions by, and Mergers of Bank Holding 
    Companies
    
        The companies listed in this notice have applied to the Board for 
    approval, pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 
    1841 et seq.) (BHC Act), Regulation Y (12 CFR Part 225), and all other 
    applicable statutes and regulations to become a bank holding company 
    and/or to acquire the assets or the ownership of, control of, or the 
    power to vote shares of a bank or bank holding company and all of the 
    banks and nonbanking companies owned by the bank holding company, 
    including the companies listed below.
        The applications listed below, as well as other related filings 
    required by the Board, are 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 standards enumerated in the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. 
    1842(c)). If the proposal also involves the acquisition of a nonbanking 
    company, the review also includes whether the acquisition of the 
    nonbanking company complies with the standards in section 4 of the BHC 
    Act, including whether the acquisition of the nonbanking company 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'' (12 U.S.C.      1843). Unless otherwise 
    noted, nonbanking activities will be conducted throughout the United 
    States.
        Unless otherwise noted, comments regarding each of these 
    applications must be received at the Reserve Bank indicated or the 
    offices of the Board of Governors not later than March 10, 1997.
        A. Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (Randall C. Sumner, Vice 
    President) 411 Locust Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63102-2034:
