The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of
Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has
been modified to include a separate line for securities lending conducted under
the Term Securities Lending Facility (TSLF), which was announced on March 11,
2008.  The first TSLF auction was held on March 27, 2008, with settlement the
following day.  

Under the Term Securities Lending Facility, the Federal Reserve lends U.S.
Treasury securities to primary dealers through an auction process.  Each loan
has a term of 28 days and is secured by other U.S. Treasury securities, federal
agency securities, or highly rated non-agency mortgage-backed securities.

Unlike sales of securities, securities loans under the TSLF do not affect
reserve balances because primary dealers provide other securities as collateral
rather than paying for the securities with cash.  

For additional details on the TSLF program, please refer to the Board's
announcement at
