H.15 Selected Interest Rates data were temporarily unavailable in the Data Download Program (DDP). The data are now available at https://www.federalreserve.gov/datadownload/Choose.aspx?rel=H15

The H.15 Selected Interest Rates Data Download Program (DDP) is temporarily unavailable due to technical difficulties. A notice will be posted when the data are published to the DDP. The data are available at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/current/default.htm

In July 2020, the current 20-year Treasury Constant Maturity series and the previously discontinued 20-year Treasury Constant Maturity rates were joined to make it easier for users to discover the discontinued rates. When combining these series, we inadvertently included estimated rates that covered the period when the US Treasury did not issue any securities with a 20-year maturity (January 1, 1987-September 30, 1993). These estimates were the average of the 10-year and 30-year rates. Given that these rates were estimates and not reported values, they have been removed from the Data Download Program.

The H.15 release incorrectly noted that the markets were closed on August 19, 2020 and did not include data from the U.S. Treasury on that date. The H.15 release and the Data Download Program have been updated with the missing rates.

An incorrect prime rate for March 16, 2020, was published on March 17, 2020. The H.15 Data Download Program has been updated to correct the inaccurate rate. The rate should have been 3.25 (rather than 4.25).

All other previously scheduled releases for Wednesday, March 21 will be postponed until the next business day government offices are open.

Historical rates for several series from the U.S. Treasury have been corrected. Affected rates include the 4-week, 3-month and 6-month Treasury bill (secondary market) rates, the 7-year inflation-indexed Treasury constant maturity rate, and the inflation-indexed long-term average rate.

A table with the corrected observations is available at: https://federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/historical-data-correction.htm

Incorrect Treasury rates for April 14, 2017, were again received from the external provider of this information and published on May 18, 2017. The H.15 has been updated to correct the inaccurate rates.

The rate published for the month of June 2016 should have been 3.01 (rather than 3.20).

On January 6, 2016, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York announced the implementation date for two changes to the calculation of the effective federal funds rate (EFFR). Effective March 1, the data source for the EFFR will move from aggregated data provided by federal funds brokers to transaction-level data reported by depository institutions. In addition, the calculation method will change from a volume-weighted average to a volume-weighted median.

The H.15 will include the new EFFR rate on March 2, with data for March 1, 2016. More information, including additional detail on the calculation methodology, will also be published March 2.

Rates for "CDs (secondary market)" are not reported (and "n.a." is shown) when the number of respondents is too few to be representative. Footnote seven has been updated to reflect this.

In accordance with its announcement of May 5, 2004, the Treasury commenced publishing a 20-year constant maturity inflation-indexed interest rate effective July 27, 2004. It appears on the daily H.15 effective with the issue of July 28, 2004, and on the weekly H.15 effective with the issue of August 2, 2004.

In accordance with its announcement of May 5, 2004, the Treasury has ceased publication of its long-term average nominal yield, effective June 1, 2004. The Treasury commenced publishing this rate on February 19, 2002, coinciding with the discontinuance of its 30-year constant maturity rate. At that time, the Treasury began to publish an "extrapolation factor," to allow users to calculate a proxy for the 30-year constant maturity rate. An extrapolation factor will continue to be published, but, as of June 1, it will be based on an extrapolation from the 20-year yield curve point. The extrapolation factor is available at the Treasury website, www.treas.gov/offices/domestic-finance/debt-management/interest-rate/index.html, as reported in footnote 11 of the release.

As of the release of January 5, 2004, the H.15 includes four daily yields, constructed by the Treasury Department, on Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS): yields at constant maturities of 5, 7, and 10 years and an average of yields on all TIPS having remaining maturities of more than 10 years. Historical data for these series are available back to January 2, 2003. Further information may be found at www.treas.gov/offices/domestic-finance/debt-management/interest-rate/index.html.

As of the release dated February 25, 2002, the H.15 no longer reports a 30-year constant maturity yield for Treasury securities and begins reporting a yield for Treasury securities with 25 years or more remaining to maturity.

The changes reflect the Treasury's announcement on January 30, 2002, that, effective February 18, it would cease supplying an estimate of the 30-year constant maturity yield and that it would commence supplying a long-term yield based on a basket of long-dated securities.

As indicated in footnote 12 of the release, the new long-term rate is based on an unweighted average of the bid yields for all Treasury fixed-coupon securities with remaining terms to maturity of at least 25 years. A factor to adjust the daily long-term average to estimate a 30-year rate is available at the Treasury web site reported in footnote 13 of the release.

The H.15 site has links to the original September 17, 2001, release as well as to the revised releases for that date and for September 24.

Data for most of the interest rates reported in the H.15 release of September 17, 2001, were missing for September 11-13 because of inactive markets or delays in data processing arising from the disasters of September 11.

On September 25 the Treasury released the data that had been missing for September 13 regarding the constant maturity interest rates on Treasury securities and the secondary rates on bills. On October 1, 2001, the Federal Reserve issued a revised version of the H.15 release of September 17 to show the September 13 values of those series and the correspondingly updated values of the averages for the week ending September 14; also on October 1, 2001, the Federal Reserve issued a revised version of the September 24 release to show the new values of the averages for the week ending September 14.

On July 31, 2001, the Department of the Treasury began the weekly issuance of 4-week bills. On August 27, 2001, the Treasury stopped reporting secondary market yields for 1-year Treasury bills, the final issuance of which was on February 27, 2001.

Effective with the issue of September 4, 2001, the H.15 statistical release reflects these changes by reporting the secondary market rate for 4-week bills and by no longer reporting the secondary market rate for 1-year bills.

In addition, the H.15 now reports a 1-month constant maturity rate, which the Treasury began calculating when it introduced the 4-week bill.

Effective July 10, 2000, several changes are being made to the H.15 release:

Rates for fixed-rate payers in interest rate swaps, as collected under the auspices of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are being added. These swap rates are for maturities of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, and 30 years.

No longer appearing on the release are auction highs for 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year Treasury bills. These figures continue to be available from the Treasury's website: http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/of/ofrespr.htm. Also being dropped is the Treasury composite (an unweighted average of yields on all outstanding bonds neither due nor callable in less than 10 years).

Finally, the H.15 no longer contains rates for 3-month and 6-month bankers acceptances. The quotes continue to be available on Telerate, which was the source for these rates as reported on the H.15.
