For this purpose, the appropriate Federal banking agency shall be the 
appropriate Federal banking agency of the principal investor of the bank 
service company.

(c) Services performed by contract or otherwise

    Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, whenever a bank that 
is regularly examined by an appropriate Federal banking agency, or any 
subsidiary or affiliate of such a bank that is subject to examination by 
that agency, causes to be performed for itself, by contract or 
otherwise, any services authorized under this chapter, whether on or off 
its premises--
        (1) such performance shall be subject to regulation and 
    examination by such agency to the same extent as if such services 
    were being performed by the bank itself on its own premises, and
        (2) the bank shall notify such agency of the existence of the 
    service relationship within thirty days after the making of such 
    service contract or the performance of the service, whichever occurs 
    first.

(d) Issuance of regulations and orders

    The Board and the appropriate Federal banking agencies are 
authorized to issue such regulations and orders as may be necessary to 
enable them to administer and to carry out the purposes of this chapter 
and to prevent evasions thereof.
