Publication Note


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 reflect the policies under which Federal
Reserve Banks make payments of their residual net earnings to the U.S. Treasury.? The "Bipartisan Budget Act of
2018" ("Budget Act"), which was enacted on February 9, 2018, requires that aggregate Federal Reserve Bank
capital surplus not exceed $7.5 billion.? Therefore, any amount of aggregate Federal Reserve Bank capital surplus
that exceeds this limit will be remitted to the U.S. Treasury. ?                                            

The amounts of the line items "Other liabilities and capital" on table 1, and "Surplus" on tables 5 and 6
reflect the lump-sum payment of approximately $2.5 billion to the Treasury on February 22, 2018, which was
necessary to reduce aggregate Reserve Bank capital surplus to the $7.5 billion limitation in the Budget Act.

Note: On June 26, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) extended credit to Maiden Lane LLC
under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. This limited liability company was formed to
acquire certain assets of Bear Stearns and to manage those assets through time to maximize repayment of the credit
extended and to minimize disruption to financial markets. The remaining outstanding balances of the senior
loan from FRBNY to Maiden Lane LLC, and the subordinated loan from JPMorgan Chase & Co. to Maiden Lane LLC were
repaid in full, with interest.

3.  Includes the original face value of inflation-indexed securities and compensation that adjusts for the effect of inflation on the original face value of such securities.

    providing for the costs of operations, payment of dividends, and the amount necessary to maintain a $7.5 billion surplus.                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                                                                            


Note on consolidation:


On June 26, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) extended a loan to Maiden Lane LLC (ML) under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. ML was formed to
acquire certain assets of Bear Stearns. On June 14, 2012, the remaining outstanding balance of the senior loan from FRBNY to ML was repaid in full, with interest. On November 15, 2012, the
remaining outstanding balance of the subordinated loan from JPMorgan Chase & Co. to ML was repaid in full, with interest. FRBNY was the primary beneficiary of ML because it received any residual
returns and could have absorbed any residual losses should they have occurred. Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of ML were consolidated with the
assets and liabilities of FRBNY in the preparation of the statements of condition shown on this release. As a consequence of the consolidation, the extension of credit from FRBNY to ML was
eliminated, the net assets of ML appeared as assets on the previous page (and in table 1 and table 5), and the liabilities of ML to entities other than FRBNY, including those with recourse only
to the ML portfolio holdings, were included in other liabilities in this table (and table 1 and table 5).
