Reports and disclosures

Disclosures of Detailed Information on Liquidity Programs and Open Market Operations

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act") was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act included changes that were designed to promote transparency while protecting monetary policy independence and the efficacy of the Federal Reserve’s liquidity programs and open market operations (OMOs).

As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, on December 1, 2010, the Federal Reserve disclosed detailed information about (i) entities that received loans or other financial assistance under a Section 13(3) credit facility between December 1, 2007, and July 21, 2010; and (ii) persons or entities that participated in the agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) purchase program, used foreign currency liquidity swap lines, or borrowed through the Term Auction Facility (TAF) during that time frame. This information includes:

• The identity of the entities provided financial assistance under the facility;
• The type of financial assistance provided;
• The value or amount of the assistance;
• The date on which the assistance was provided;
• The specific terms of any repayment expected, including the repayment time period, interest charges, collateral, limitations on executive compensation or dividends, and other material terms; and
• The specific rationale for the facility.

The Federal Reserve's disclosure about these transactions is available at www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/reform_transaction.htm.

The Dodd-Frank Act also established a framework for the delayed disclosure of information on entities that, after July 21, 2010, received a loan from the discount window under Section 10B of the Federal Reserve Act or from a Section 13(3) facility, or participated in OMO transactions. Generally, this framework requires the Federal Reserve to publicly disclose certain information about these discount window borrowers and OMO counterparties approximately two years after the relevant loan or transaction; information about borrowers under future Section 13(3) facilities will be disclosed one year after the authorization for the facility is terminated. The Federal Reserve's disclosures under this framework began on September 28, 2012, and are available at www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/reform_quarterly_transaction.htm.
