  ,Instrument,"Nonfinancial or financial posted by CPFF without unsecured credit surcharge"
  ,Maturity,"3-month"
  ,Frequency,"Annual"
  ,Description,"Interest Rate that Issuers Not Subject to the Unsecured Credit Surcharge Pay to Issue 3-Month Unsecured Paper to the Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF)"
  ,Status,"Discontinued"
  ,Note,"Annualized using a 360-day year or bank interest."
  ,Note,"On a discount basis."
  ,Note,"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/)."
  ,Note,"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."
  ,Note,"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."
