          FINANCING VEHICLES AND THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE

             This chapter contains descriptions of and data on financing vehicles and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. The
                Financing Corporation functions as a financing vehicle for the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC) Resolution
                Fund. The Resolution Funding Corporation provided financing for the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) and is subject to the
                general oversight and direction of the Secretary of the Treasury.

             The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's transactions are not included in the Budget because of its unique status
                in the conduct of monetary policy. The Board provides data on its administrative budget, which is included here for information.
                Its budget schedules and statements are not subject to review by the President.

             Amounts are on a calendar year basis, with the exception of the 2013 balance sheets for the Financing Corporation and Resolution
                Funding Corporation, which are as of September 30, 2013.

          Federal Funds
             Financing Corporation

             The Financing Corporation (FICO) is a mixed-ownership Government corporation, chartered by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board
                pursuant to the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation Recapitalization Act of 1987, as amended (Act). FICO's sole
                purpose is to function as a financing vehicle for the FSLIC Resolution Fund, formerly the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
                Corporation. Pursuant to the Act, FICO was authorized to issue debentures, bonds, and other obligations subject to limitations
                contained in the Act, the net proceeds of which were to be used solely to purchase capital certificates issued by the FSLIC
                Resolution Fund, or to refund any previously issued obligations. The Resolution Trust Corporation Refinancing, Restructuring,
                and Improvement Act of 1991 terminated FICO's borrowing authority.

             The Act provided formulas pursuant to which the Federal Home Loan Banks make capital contributions to FICO. FICO used the
                proceeds received from the sales of such capital stock to purchase non-interest bearing securities for deposit in a segregated
                account as required by the Act. The non-interest bearing securities held in the segregated account are the primary source
                of repayment of the principal of FICO obligations. Securities in the segregated account are kept separate from other FICO
                accounts and funds, but are not specifically pledged as collateral for the payment of obligations. The primary source of payment
                of interest on the obligations is the receipt of assessments imposed on and collected from institutions' accounts which are
                insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's Deposit Insurance Fund.

             Resolution Funding Corporation

             The Resolution Funding Corporation (REFCORP) is a mixed-ownership Government corporation established by Title V of the Financial
                Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA). The sole purpose of REFCORP was to provide financing
                for the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC). Pursuant to FIRREA, REFCORP was authorized to issue debentures, bonds, and other
                obligations, subject to limitations contained in the Act and regulations established by the Thrift Depositor Protection Oversight
                Board. The proceeds of the debt (less any discount, plus any premium, net of issuance cost) were used solely to purchase nonredeemable
                capital certificates of RTC or to refund any previously issued obligations.

             Until October 29, 1998, REFCORP was subject to the general oversight and direction of the Thrift Depositor Protection Oversight
                Board. At that time, the Oversight Board was abolished and its authority and duties were transferred to the Secretary of the
                Treasury. The day-to-day operations of REFCORP are under the management of a three-member Directorate comprised of the Director
                of the Office of Finance of the Federal Home Loan Banks and two members selected from among the presidents of the 12 Federal
                Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks). Members of the Directorate serve without compensation, and REFCORP is not permitted to have any
                paid employees.

             FIRREA, as amended, and the regulations adopted by the Thrift Depositor Protection Oversight Board and the Secretary of the
                Treasury required that Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) contribute 20 percent of net earnings annually to assist in the payment
                of interest on bonds issued by REFCORP until such time as the total payments are equivalent to a $300 million annual annuity
                with a final maturity date of April 15, 2030. The FHLBs fulfilled this obligation on August 5, 2011.

             The Federal Reserve System operates under the provisions of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, as amended, and other acts of
                the Congress.

             To carry out its responsibilities under this Act, the Board determines general monetary, credit, and operating policies for
                the System as a whole and formulates the rules and regulations necessary to carry out the purposes of the Federal Reserve
                Act. The Board's principal duties consist of exerting an influence over credit conditions and supervising the Federal Reserve
                banks and member banks.

             Under the provisions of section 10 of the Federal Reserve Act, the Board of Governors levies upon the Federal Reserve banks,
                in proportion to their capital and surplus, an assessment sufficient to pay its estimated expenses. The Board, under this
                Act, determines and prescribes the manner in which its obligations are incurred and its expenses paid. Funds derived from
                assessments are deposited in the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, and this Act provides that such funds "not be construed
                to be Government funds or appropriated moneys.'' No Government appropriation is required to support operations of the Board.

             The information presented pertains to Board operations only. Expenditures made on behalf of the Federal Reserve banks for
                production, issuance, retirement, and shipment of Federal Reserve notes are not included, since they are reimbursed in full
                by the Federal Reserve banks.
