Date:         December 14, 2001

TO:  Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks,
     Federal Branches and Agencies, Department and 
     Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel

The attached final rule, which amends the OCC's rules
governing national bank assessments, was published in
the Federal Register on November 16, 2001 (66 FR 57645).
The final rule amends 12 CFR 8.2(a), which sets forth
the formula for the semiannual assessment the OCC
charges each national bank. The amendment revises
the formula to enable the OCC to establish a minimum
base amount for the semiannual assessment for the first
assessment bracket of the assessment schedule
($0 - $2 million). The final rule is effective
December 31, 2001. Note that typesetting errors
contained in the original document were corrected
in a document published on November 23, 2001
(66 FR 58786).

The OCC has established a minimum base amount for the
semiannual assessment that is due to be paid by January
31, 2001. The amount of the minimum base assessment as
published in the December 1, 2001, Notice of Fees is
$5,000. 

For questions concerning this final rule, contact
Michele Meyer, counsel, Legislative and Regulatory
Activities Division, (202) 874-5090.
