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 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.
The CVFR percentage during the period January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009, is 3 percent. This rate reflects the average investment rates for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2008.
Federal agencies will apply the CVFR percentage as follows:
On January 1, 2009, when TFM Volume I, Bulletin No. 2009-02 becomes effective, it will rescind TFM Volume I, Bulletin No. 2008-07.
