 DOOMSDAY BOOK

Version: 4.1 INTERNAL FR Date: June 19, 2006 Compiler:

Editor:

The “Doomsday Book" is a collection of emergency documentation and memo- randa compiled by the Legal Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It has two purposes in mind. First, it is a ready reference source, containing template documents that must be prepared quickly, and background material that is likely to be particularly relevant to an emergency situation. Second, because all of its documents are on CD-ROMs, it is an operational mitigant against the risk of lost power or connectivity. The Doomsday Book, however, assumes working computers and printers.

It is maintained in three forms: a complete paper version (copies kept in the Law Library, Records, and EROC), CD-ROM and paper introductory section (distributed widely through the Legal Department) and on the Legal server (in the “LEGALDOCS" library; “Doomsday Book Materials” folder.)

The complete paper and server versions should always be current, and the complete paper version will contain a current CD-ROM. To ascertain whether a CD- ROM is current, check its version number against that of the complete paper or server versions. (If complete paper and server are unavailable, contact the Editor or the Compiler.) Feel free to copy the current CD-ROM, bearing in mind that some of the memoranda on the CD-ROM are RESTRICTED-F.R.

From time to time, the Compiler will update the Doomsday Book, as the Editor adds additional documentation. The Doomsday Book is not, and can never be a finished product. The Editor is the gatekeeper for all additions and changes to

the Doomsday Book. Please contact the Editor for any suggested additions or revisions. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and YYYYYYYYYYYY remain available to answer any questions concerning the Doomsday Book.
