Permits a Federal Reserve bank to increase or reduce the rates applicable to advances and discounts by not more than one percentage point without review or determination by the Board of Governors if: (1) the sum of the amount of the proposed increase or reduction and the total amount of increases or reductions of the same rate or rates during the preceding twelve-month period by that bank does not exceed two percentage points; and (2) the differential between the rate or rates established by that Federal Reserve bank and the rate or rates established by any other Federal Reserve bank would not, after the increase or reduction, exceed three percentage points.
