Statement from Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin on the Extension of
Facilities Authorized Under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve
Act
July 28, 2020

WASHINGTON – U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin issued the following statement on

the extension of emergency lending facilities authorized under section 13(3) of the Federal
Reserve Act:
“I have sent a letter to Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell approving a three month
extension of the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility,
Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility, Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility, Term
Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility, and all
Main Street Lending Program Facilities. The date on which each of these facilities is scheduled
to cease entering into transactions is now December 31, 2020. The term sheet for the Municipal
Liquidity Facility already specifies December 31, 2020 as the date on which it will cease entering
into transactions, and the corresponding date specified for the Commercial Paper Funding
Facility is March 17, 2021.
“The extraordinary Federal Reserve response to the COVID-19 pandemic, supported by
Treasury’s equity capital, has played a vital role in improving liquidity and restoring market
function. Through this extension, we will continue to support the flow of credit to American
workers, businesses and municipalities.”
