owned more than 5% of any class or series of the Registered

wholly owned subsidiary of Federated, owned beneficially and of

(ii) the Company owned beneficially and of record 100% of the
Class B Variable Funding Certificates, the Class C-1995
Certificates, the Class C-1996 Certificates and the Transferor
Certificate.  The Class A Variable Funding Certificates have been
pledged by Seven Hills to Chase Bank, as collateral agent, to
secure certain commercial paper notes to be issued by Seven Hills
from time to time and certain related obligations of Seven Hills.
The principal business address of each of the Company and Seven
Hills is 7 West Seventh Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.

proposed to be a party, and in which any person known to the
Company to own more than 5% of any class of certificates
representing undivided interests in the Trust had or has a direct
or indirect material interest.

                   Independent Auditors' Report

  The Board of Directors
  Federated Department Stores, Inc.


  The Board of Directors
  Prime Receivables Corporation:


  We  have  examined  management's  assertion,  included  in  the
  accompanying  Management  Report on the  Effectiveness  of  the
  Internal  Accounting Control Structure over  the  Servicing  of
  Accounts  Receivable,  that  as of  July  31,  1999,  Federated
  Department  Stores,  Inc.  and subsidiaries  ("Federated"),  as
  Servicer  under the Amended and Restated Pooling and  Servicing
  Agreement  dated  December 15, 1992 between  Prime  Receivables
  Corporation  ("Prime"), as Transferor, Federated, as  Servicer,
  and  The  Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee, (the  "Pooling  and
  Servicing   Agreement")   maintained  an   effective   internal
  accounting  control  structure over the servicing  of  accounts
  receivable  of  Prime, based upon the criteria  stated  in  the
  Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Management is responsible  for
  maintaining   effective   internal   control   over   financial
  reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion  on  the
  effectiveness of internal control based on our examination.

  Our   examination  was  made  in  accordance   with   standards
  established  by  the  American Institute  of  Certified  Public
  Accountants    and,   accordingly,   included   obtaining    an
  understanding of the internal accounting control structure over
  the  servicing  of accounts receivable, testing and  evaluating
  the  design and operating effectiveness of the internal control
  structure, and such other procedures as we considered necessary
  in  the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides
  a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  Because  of  inherent  limitations in any  internal  accounting
  control  structure,  misstatements due to error  or  fraud  may
  occur  and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation
  of the internal accounting control structure over the servicing
  of  accounts  receivable to future periods are subject  to  the
  risk  that the internal accounting control structure may become
  inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
  of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

  In   our   opinion,  management's  assertion   that   Federated
  maintained  an effective internal accounting control  structure
  over  the servicing of accounts receivable of Prime as of  July
  31,  1999,  is  fairly stated, in all material respects,  based
  upon criteria stated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

  This  report is intended solely for the information and use  of
  the boards of directors and managements of Federated and Prime,
  Investor  Certificateholders,  The  Chase  Manhattan  Bank,  as
  Trustee,  Moody's  Investor Services,  Inc.  and  Standard  and
  Poor's  Corporation, as the Rating Agencies, and should not  be
  used for any other purpose.

 Management Report on Effectiveness of Internal Accounting Control
                             Structure
             Over the Servicing of Accounts Receivable


Management of Federated Department Stores, Inc., and subsidiaries
("Federated") is responsible for establishing and maintaining an
effective internal accounting control structure over the servicing
of accounts receivable of Prime Receivables Corporation ("Prime"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Federated.  The structure contains
monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct
deficiencies identified.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal
accounting control structure, including the possibility of human
error and the circumvention or overriding of controls.
Accordingly, even an effective internal accounting control
structure can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the
servicing of accounts receivable and the preparations of reports
relating to the servicing of accounts receivable as required by the
Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated December
15, 1992 between Prime, as Transferor, Federated, as Servicer, and
The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement").  Further, because of changes in conditions, the
effectiveness of an internal accounting control structure may vary
over time.

Management assessed Federated's internal accounting control
structure over the servicing of accounts receivable of Prime as of
July 31, 1999.  This assessment was based on criteria for effective
internal accounting control over the servicing of accounts
receivable of Prime described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.  Based on this assessment, management believes that, as
of July 31, 1999, Federated maintained an effective internal
accounting control structure over the servicing of accounts
receivable of Prime.

                          Exhibit 99.3








  The Board of Directors
  Prime Receivables Corporation:


  We  have applied certain agreed-upon procedures, as discussed
  below,   to  the  accounting  records  of  Prime  Receivables
  Corporation ("Prime"), a wholly-owned special-purpose finance
  subsidiary    of    Federated   Department    Stores,    Inc.
  ("Federated"), relating to the servicing procedures performed
  by  FDS  National  Bank, as Servicer, under the  Amended  and
  Restated  Pooling  and Servicing Agreement (the  "Agreement")
  dated   December  15,  1992  between  Prime,  as  Transferor,
  Federated and The Chase Manhattan Bank, successor to Chemical
  Bank,  as  Trustee,  on  behalf of the Certificateholders  of
  Prime  Credit  Card  Master Trust and  under  the  Assumption
  Agreement  dated September 15, 1993 between Prime, Federated,
  FDS National Bank and The Chase Manhattan Bank, successor  to
  Chemical  Bank.  This agreed-upon procedures  engagement  was
  performed  in  accordance with standards established  by  the
  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  The
  sufficiency  of these procedures is solely the responsibility
  of  the specified users of the report. Consequently, we  make
  no   representations   regarding  the  sufficiency   of   the
  procedures described below either for the purpose  for  which
  this report has been requested or for any other purpose.  Our
  procedures and findings are as follows:

          In accordance with section 3.06(b) of the Agreement, we
          recalculated each amount set forth in items (i) through (xvi) of
          each monthly certificate prepared by the Servicer, pursuant to
          section 3.04(c) of the Agreement, during the period from January
          31, 1999 to January 29, 2000, (the "Certificates") from
          information in the Transferor's computer generated Daily Cash
          Allocation Reports, the Agreement, the Series 1992-2 Supplement
          to the Agreement dated December 15, 1992, the Series 1992-3
          Supplement to the Agreement dated December 31, 1992, the Series
          1995-1 Supplement to the Agreement dated July 27, 1995, or the
          Series 1996-1 Supplement to the Agreement dated May 14, 1996, as
          appropriate. We found such recalculated amounts to be in
          agreement with the amounts set forth in items (i) through (xvi)
          of the Certificates.

  We  were not engaged to, and did not, perform an examination,
  the  objective of which would be the expression of an opinion
  on  management's assertion. Accordingly, we  do  not  express
  such  an  opinion.  Had  we performed additional  procedures,
  other  matters  might have come to our attention  that  would
  have been reported to you.

  This  report is intended solely for your information  and  is
  not  to  be  referred to or distributed for  any  purpose  to
  anyone  other  than  The Chase Manhattan  Bank,  as  Trustee,
  Moody's  Investor  Services,  Inc.  and  Standard  &   Poor's
  Corporation,    as    the    Rating    Agencies,     Investor
  Certificateholders or the management of Prime.
