The Board's H.4.1 statistical release ("Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions
and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks") for September 25, 2008, overstated the average
amount outstanding of securities lent under the Term Securities Lending Facility (TSLF).  On
September 18, 2008, a set of securities lent under the TSLF was returned to the Federal Reserve, but
the return of these securities was not reflected in the reported value for the TSLF until September
24, 2008.  As a result, corrections to table 1A, Memorandum Items, have been made to reflect the
earlier return of these securities on September 18, 2008.  Under the TSLF, the Federal Reserve
maintained ownership of securities lent, and the lending of securities did not directly affect the
Federal Reserve's assets and liabilities.

In table 1A, the weekly average value of the "Term facility" for the week ended Wednesday, 
September 24, 2008, was corrected from $185,636 million to $174,045 million.  Also in table 1A, the
weekly average value of "Securities lent to dealers" for the week ended Wednesday, September 24,
2008, was corrected from $204,948 million to $193,357 million.

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 in a number of ways.  On September 17, the
Treasury Department announced the Supplementary Financing Program.  Under this program, the Treasury
issues marketable debt and deposits the proceeds in an account at the Federal Reserve that is segregated
from the Treasury General Account.  This account is shown as "U.S. Treasury, supplementary financing
account" in table 1, table 4, and table 5.
  
On September 19, the Federal Reserve announced a new lending facility to extend non-recourse loans to U.S.
depository institutions and bank holding companies to finance their purchases of high-quality asset-backed
commercial paper from money market mutual funds.  Extensions of this credit are reported in table 1 as
"Asset-backed commercial paper money market mutual fund liquidity facility" and reflected in "Other
loans" in table 3, table 4, and table 5.

On September 21, the Board of Governors authorized the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to extend credit
to the U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch against all
types of collateral that may be pledged at the Federal Reserve's primary credit facility for depository
institutions or at the existing Primary Dealer Credit Facility.  In addition, the Board authorized the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York to extend credit to the London-based broker-dealer subsidiaries of
Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch against the types of collateral that would be eligible
to be pledged at the Primary Dealer Credit Facility.  Credit extended under these authorizations will be
included, along with credit extended under the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, in Table 1 under the entry
"Primary dealer and other broker-dealer credit."

Note on consolidation:
On June 26, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York extended a loan under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act to Maiden Lane LLC, a limited liability company 
formed to acquire certain assets of Bear Stearns.  The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is the primary beneficiary of Maiden Lane LLC.  Consistent with generally accepted accounting 
principles, the assets and liabilities of Maiden Lane LLC have been consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the preparation of the
statements of condition shown on this release.  As a consequence of the consolidation, the extension of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to Maiden Lane LLC is
eliminated, the net assets of Maiden Lane LLC appear as an asset in this table (and table 1 and table 4), and the liabilities of Maiden Lane LLC to entities other than the Federal 
Reserve Bank of New York, including those with recourse only to the portfolio holdings of Maiden Lane LLC, are included in other liabilities on the next page (and in table 1 and 
table 4).
