Is it a requirement that a bank has to post its abandoned property accounts in a local newspaper by August 31st reflecting the abandoned property accounts as of June 30th of the same calendar year. If so what type of paper must it be published in?

The Comptroller has now posted the Unclaimed Property Handbook online at http://www.osc.state.ny.us/ouf/oufhandbook/bank_insts.pdf

pp. 14-15 detail the publication requirements
