The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is providing

Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the
Committee on Financial Services of the House of Representatives (the
Committees) an initial report regarding each facility established under
section 13(3) and periodic updates at least every 30 days thereafter. This report
provides the first periodic update for (1) the Primary Dealer Credit Facility
(PDCF), (2) the Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF), and (3) the Money
Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (MMLF).
In addition to the PDCF, CPFF, and MMLF, the Board also has authorized
the establishment of the following credit facilities under section 13(3) of the
Federal Reserve Act: the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, the
Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility, the Primary Market Corporate
Credit Facility, the Municipal Liquidity Facility, the Paycheck Protection
Program Lending Facility, the Main Street New Loan Facility, and the Main
Street Expanded Loan Facility. Periodic updates concerning these facilities will

This report includes the information that is required to be submitted to Congress in periodic
reports under section 13(3)(C)(ii) of the Federal Reserve Act regarding the PDCF, CPFF, and
MMLF. In addition, the original version of the report regarding the CPFF submitted to the
Committees on April 23, 2020, described the aggregate collateral value under the facility as
being reported on a “fair value” basis. The report should instead have described the amount
reported as the “total value” of collateral. In particular, consistent with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, some collateral under the CPFF, including commercial paper, was valued
at amortized cost. This updated report, posted to the Board’s website on June 10, 2020, corrects
this error.

that hold such paper in meeting demands for redemptions by investors and to
