The Federal Reserve Board on Thursday extended to March 31, 2021, temporary actions aimed at increasing
the availability of intraday credit extended by Federal Reserve Banks on both a collateralized and
uncollateralized basis. These temporary actions: (1) suspend uncollateralized intraday credit limits (net debit
caps) and waive overdraft fees for institutions that are eligible for the primary credit program; (2) permit a
streamlined procedure for secondary credit institutions to request collateralized intraday credit (max caps);
and (3) suspend two collections of information that are used to calculate net debit caps.
These temporary actions, which were announced on April 23, 2020, and originally set to expire on September
30, 2020, are consistent with the series of actions the Board has announced to support the flow of credit to
households and businesses and to mitigate the disruptions from COVID-19. In particular, the temporary
actions reinforce the Board's efforts to encourage regular use of intraday credit by healthy financial
institutions.
The Board's Federal Register notice attached.
