‘This is also the discount rate for 90-day commercial paper and other paper eligible for
discount.
A rate higher than the basic discount rate will be applied to loans of unusual size that
result from a major operating problem at the borrower’s facility, unless the problem is
clearly beyond the borrower’s reasonable control. The new rate will be the highest rate
within the structure of discount rates at the time in question.
2A flexible rate that takes into account rates on market sources of funds is applied to
seasonal credit, but in no case will the rate be less than the discount rate applicable to
adjustment credit. See 12 CFR 201.52(a).
3A flexible rate that takes into account rates on market sources of funds ordinarily will
be applied to any "extended credit" outstanding for more than 30 days. The flexible rate
will not be lower than the basic rate plus one-half percentage point. At the discretion
of this Reserve Bank, the 30-day time period for which the basic rate is charged may be
lengthened or shortened. See 12 CFR 201.52(b).
