TO:  Chief Executive Officers of National Banks and Federal
     Branches and Agencies, Service Providers, Software Vendors,
     Department and Division Heads, and Examining Personnel 

This advisory is being sent to alert you to the recent release of
the FFIEC's Year 2000 checklist for customers.  The checklist was
developed to help you communicate with your customers about the
Year 2000.   The checklist identifies steps that financial
institution customers may want to take in anticipation of the
date change.  You may want to make the checklist available to
your customers as part of your efforts to keep them informed
about your Year 2000 activities.

The FFIEC checklist is also available on the OCC's home page at
www.occ.treas.gov.  For more information on Year 2000 issues,
contact Year 2000 Supervision Policy at (202) 874-2340.
