1. Reserves and monetary base figures incorporate adjustments for discontinuities, or "breaks," associated with regulatory changes in reserve
requirements. (For more information, refer to table 3.)
2. Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted required reserves plus unadjusted excess
reserves. (Also, refer to footnote 2 in table 2 and footnote 2 in table 3.)
3. Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted nonborrowed reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves less unadjusted total
borrowings from the Federal Reserve.
4. Excess reserves NSA equals unadjusted total reserves (table 2, column 1) less unadjusted required reserves (table 2, column 3).
5. The seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted monetary base consists of (1) seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves plus (2) the
seasonally adjusted currency component of the money stock plus (3), for all quarterly reporters on the "Report of Transaction Accounts,
Other Deposits and Vault Cash" and for all those weekly reporters whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves, the seasonally adjusted,
break-adjusted difference between current vault cash and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. (Also, refer to
footnote 3 in table 2 and footnote 4 in table 3.)
6. Prorated averages of biweekly averages.
7. Averages of daily figures.

1. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) has extended credit to Maiden Lane LLC, Maiden Lane II LLC,
and Maiden Lane III LLC, as discussed in the notes to the Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors
Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks."
Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of these LLCs have been
consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY because the FRBNY is the primary beneficiary of
the LLCs. As a consequence of this consolidation, the extensions of credit from the FRBNY to these LLCs are
eliminated from the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, and, thus, the loans are not included in borrowed
reserves.
2. Includes credit extended by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to eligible borrowers through the Term
Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility.
3. Prorated averages of biweekly averages.
4. Averages of daily figures.

1. Reflects actual required reserves, with no adjustments to eliminate the effects of discontinuities, or "breaks," associated with
regulatory changes in reserve requirements.
2. Reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks plus vault cash used to satisfy reserve requirements.
3. The monetary base, not break-adjusted and not seasonally adjusted, consists of (1) total reserves plus (2) required clearing balances
and adjustments to compensate for float at Federal Reserve Banks plus (3) the currency component of the money stock plus (4), for all
quarterly reporters on the "Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash" and for all those weekly reporters whose
vault cash exceeds their required reserves, the difference between current vault cash and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve
requirements. Currency and vault cash figures are measured over computation periods ending on Mondays. See note on simplification of
reserve requirements.
4. Excludes required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for float and includes other off-balance-sheet "as-of" adjustments.
See note on simplification of reserve requirements.
5. Vault cash eligible to satisfy reserve requirements. It includes only vault cash held by those banks and thrifts that are not exempt
from reserve requirements. Dates refer to the maintenance periods in which the vault cash can be used to satisfy reserve requirements.
6. All vault cash held during the lagged computation period by "bound" institutions (i.e., those whose required reserves exceed their vault
cash) plus the amount of vault cash applied during the maintenance period by "nonbound" institutions (i.e., those whose vault cash
exceeds their required reserves) to satisfy current reserve requirements.
7. Total vault cash eligible to satisfy reserve requirements, held by depository institutions not exempt from reserve requirements, minus the
amount used to satisfy reserve requirements.
8. Consists of carryover only at depository institutions maintaining reserves on the basis of two-week maintenance periods. Reflects excess
(+) or deficit (-) reserves eligible to be carried forward into the two-week reserve maintenance period ending on the date shown.
9. Prorated averages of biweekly averages.
10. Averages of daily figures.

Note on Simplification of Reserve Requirements
On July 12, 2012, the contractual clearing balance program was eliminated and the issuance of as-of adjustments was discontinued. Required
clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for float are zero beginning with the two weeks ending July 25, 2012. All other as-of
adjustments are zero beginning with the two weeks ending August 8, 2012.

Note: Current and historical H.3 data are available each week on the Federal Reserve Board's website
(http://www.federalreserve.gov/). Monthly data are available back to January 1959, and weekly data
are available back to January 1975 for most series.
1. Figures reflect adjustments for discontinuities, or "breaks," associated with regulatory changes in
reserve requirements.
2. Break-adjusted total reserves equal break-adjusted required reserves (table 3, column 3) plus excess
reserves NSA (table 1, column 4).
3. To adjust required reserves for discontinuities due to regulatory changes in reserve requirements, a
multiplicative procedure is used to estimate what required reserves would have been in past periods
had current reserve requirements been in effect. Break-adjusted required reserves are equal to
break-adjusted required reserves against transactions deposits.
4. The break-adjusted monetary base equals (1) break-adjusted total reserves plus (2) the (unadjusted)
currency component of the money stock plus (3), for all quarterly reporters on the "Report of
Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash" and for all those weekly reporters whose vault
cash exceeds their required reserves, the break-adjusted difference between current vault cash and
the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements.
5. Prorated averages of biweekly averages.
6. Averages of daily figures.
