5. Interest rates interpolated from data on certain commercial paper trades settled by The Depository Trust Company. The trades represent sales of commercial paper by dealers or direct issuers to investors (that is, the offer side). The 1-, 2-, and 3-month rates are equivalent to the 30-, 60-, and 90-day dates reported on the Board's Commercial Paper Web page (www.federalreserve.gov/releases/cp/). Return to top
6. Financial paper that is insured by the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program is not excluded from relevant indexes, nor is any financial or nonfinancial commercial paper that may be directly or indirectly affected by one or more of the Federal Reserve's liquidity facilities. Thus the rates published after September 19, 2008, likely reflect the direct or indirect effects of the new temporary programs and, accordingly, likely are not comparable for some purposes to rates published prior to that period.

11. Yields on actively traded non-inflation-indexed issues adjusted to constant maturities.

From February 18, 2002, to February 9, 2006, the U.S. Treasury published a factor for adjusting the daily nominal 20-year constant maturity in order to estimate a 30-year nominal rate. The historical adjustment factor can be found at www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/. Source: U.S. Treasury. Return to top

18. CPFF refers to the Federal Reserve's Commercial Paper Funding Facility. The rates are identical under the CPFF for financial and nonfinancial commercial paper. An issuer of commercial paper into the CPFF may avoid the surcharge by providing a collateral arrangement or indorsement that is acceptable to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The CPFF expired on February 1, 2010, and therefore these rates are no longer calculated. Source: Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Return to top
