H41: Changes to the H.4.1 to reflect the Corporate Credit Facility LLC
The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified to include information related to Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility (PMCCF) and Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility (SMCCF). These facilities operate through the Corporate Credit Facility LLC (CCF LLC), a special purpose vehicle that was formed to support credit to employers through bond and loan issuances and to provide liquidity to the market for outstanding corporate bonds.On March 23, 2020, the Federal Reserve announced the PMCCF and SMCCF. On May 12, 2020, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) extended credit to the CCF LLC under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, with approval of the Treasury Secretary, and the CCF LLC began purchasing eligible bonds and loans.Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of CCF LLC have been accounted for and consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY in the preparation of the statements of condition shown on the release because the FRBNY is the managing member of CCF LLC. The net portfolio holdings of CCF LLC appear as an asset on the statement of condition of the FRBNY (table 5), the consolidated statement of condition of all Federal Reserve Banks (table 4), and factors affecting reserve balances of depository institutions (table 1). The amount provided by the U.S. Treasury as credit protection for the CCF LLC is separately presented in a new line "Treasury contributions to credit facilities" in tables 1, 4, and 5. Additionally, amounts provided by the U.S. Treasury as credit protection to the Commercial Paper Funding Facility II LLC previously included in "Other liabilities" is now included in "Treasury contributions to credit facilities" in tables 1, 4, and 5.
