Reserves and monetary base figures incorporate adjustments for discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory changes in reserve requirements. (For more information see Table 3.)
Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted required reserves plus unadjusted excess reserves. (Also, see tootlol9 2 on Table 2and to<*loe9 2 on Table 3.)
Seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted nonborrowed reserves equal seasonally adjusted, break-adjusted total reserves less Unadlusted total borrowings of deDoshDrY lnstHutions from the Federal Reserve.
Extended credit consists ot borrowing at the discount window under the terms arid conditions established for the extended credit program to help <~ePoS~tofY"institu6ons deal with sustained liQuidity
pressures. Because there is not the same need to repay such borrowing promptly as there is with traditional short-term adjustment credit, the money mark8t impact of ex18nded credit is simlar to that of
nonborrowed reserves.
Excess reserves NSA equals unadjusted total reserves (Table 2, column 1) less unadjusted required reserves (Table 2, column 3).
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 see footnote 3 on Table 2 and footnote 4 on table 3.)

Reflects actual required reserves, with no adjustments to eliminate the effects of discontinuities, or "breaks", associated with regulatory changes in reserve requirements.
Reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks plus vault cash used to satisfy reserve requirements.
The monetary base, not break-adjusted and not seasonally adjusted, consists of {1) total reserves pl.us (2) required clearing balances and adjUstments to oompensal9 for float at Federal Resemt BlOts
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~~ whose
vault cash exceeds their required reserves, ttie difference between current vault cash and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. After the introduction of CAR. currency and vault
cash figures are measured over computation periods ending on Mondays.
Excludes required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for float and Includes other off-balance sheet "as-or adjustments.
Dates refer to the maintenance periods in which the vault cash can be used to satisfY reserve requirements. Starting with the maintenance period ended November 25, 1992, each maintenance period for
weekly reporters ends 16 days after the lag!led computation period in which the vaurt cash is held. Previously, each maintenance period ended 30 days after lhe laaaed computation period.
All vault cash held during the lagged cornpulation period by "bound" institutions (i.e., lhose whose required reserves exceed their vault cash) plus the amount of vaulf cash applied during the mMltlenance
period by "nonbound" institutions {i.e., those whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves) to satisfy current reserve requirements.
Total vault cash held by depository institutions minus the amount applied to satisfy reserve requirements.
Consists of carryover only at depository institutions maintaining reserves on the basis of two-week maintenance periods. Reflects excess{+) or deficit H reserves eligible to be carried torward into the
two-week reserve maintenance period ending on the date shoWn.

Figures reflect adjustments for discontinuities, or 'breaks", associated with regulatory changes In reserve requirements.
Br9ak-adjusted total reserves equal break-adjusted required reserves (Table 3, column 3) plus excess reserves NSA (Table 1, column 5).
To adjust required reserves lor discontinuitieS due to regulatory changes In reserve requirements, a multiplicative procedure Is used to estimale 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.
The break-adjusted monetary base equals (11 break-adJusted total reserves plus (2) the (unadjusted) currency component of the money stock plus (3) tor a1 quaf1llrly reportars on the "Report of
Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash and lor an those we8kly reporters whose vault cash exceeds their required reserves. the break-adjusted dilffirence between current vault cash
and the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements.
