This Treasury Financial Manual (TFM) bulletin publishes the CVFR percentage based on the current value of funds to the Department of the Treasury (Treasury).
The CVFR percentage is based on the investment rates for the Treasury Tax and Loan accounts set for purposes of the Public Moneys Investment Act, Public Law 95-147, 91 Stat. 1227 (October 28, 1977).
Annually, Treasury computes the CVFR percentage by averaging investment rates for the 12-month period ending on September 30, rounded to the nearest whole percentage. Quarterly, if the annual average (on a 12-month moving average basis) changes by 2 percent, Treasury revises the rate. Treasury's Financial Management Service (FMS) publishes the presiding rate in the Federal Register and in a TFM bulletin.
Agencies may obtain current and previous rates from the CVFR Web site at http://www.fms.treas.gov/cvfr/index.html.
With the quarter ending June 30, 2008, the 12-month moving average investment rate decreased by 2 percent. Therefore, Treasury is revising the CVFR for the remainder of 2008. The percentage rate to be applied during the period July 1 through December 31, 2008, is 3.00 percent. This rate reflects the average investment rates for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2008.
Federal agencies will apply the CVFR percentage as follows:
