Special Market Definitions
In the interest of efficiency and consistency, analysts of this Reserve Bank, as well as those of the Federal Reserve System in general, normally use a political division or a geographic designation as a proxy for a banking market when no competitive issue is associated with a proposal being reviewed and/or the proxy itself appears adequate. Typical proxies for rural banking markets are county boundaries and for metropolitan areas are the Rand McNally and Company's "Ranally Metro Areas" (RMAs). However, when a particular market proxy does not appear to accurately reflect the true extent of alternatives for banking services available to the residents of an area affected by a proposed transaction, Reserve Bank analysts conduct an investigation of the area's employment, commuting, shopping, and banking patterns, etc., and based on the information gained construct an appropriate banking market definition.
The following is a list of all such special market definitions currently utilized by this Reserve Bank in analyzing the competitive effects of banking proposals within the 10th Federal Reserve District. Following most definitions is a date and/or a reference to a particular Reserve Bank or Board of Governors Order involving the definition. The designation "CFR", however, refers to a competitive factor report (not available to the public) involving the definition that was provided by this Reserve Bank to another regulatory agency. The designation "CIC" refers to a Change in Control notification involving the definition that was processed by this Reserve Bank. Those definitions referred to as "preliminary" have not been part of a formal action by this Reserve Bank or the Board of Governors.
