NOTES:
VALUATION:
Most of the collateral pledged to the TT&L program is priced and marked-to-market on a frequent and regular basis. A haircut is applied to the market value. For non-priced collateral, a haircut is applied to the outstanding principal value.
Periodically, the margins (and haircuts) that are applied in the valuation of this pledged collateral are re-assessed. This re-assessment helps to ensure that the collateral margins reflect current market conditions. These margins are used to account for various risks and are applied to both priced and non-priced pledged collateral held in book-entry and definitive forms.
Acceptable securities must be investment grade or rated equal to investment grade unless otherwise specified. If not investment grade, securities may be acceptable but subject to an additional haircut depending on the credit worthiness of the security as determined by the Federal Reserve System and approved by Treasury.
For current applied margins, please refer to Treasury’s Bureau of the Public Debt website (www.treasurydirect.gov/), the Federal Reserve’s Financial Services website (www.frbservices.org/), or contact the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’s “Treasury Tax & Loan Customer Service Center” at 1-888-568-7343 (Select Option 2 for Collateral Monitoring).
FEDWIRE CODES:
This list is organized by categories of issuers and acceptable securities for the 31 CFR Part 203 program. Fedwire codes have been provided where available, but only serve as a guide and may be subject to change.
TRANSFERABILITY:
All pledged collateral must be transferable and owned by the depositary free and clear of all liens, charges, and claims.

NOTES:
VALUATION:
Most of the collateral pledged to the TT&L program is priced and marked-to-market on a frequent and regular basis. A haircut is applied to the market value. For non-priced collateral, a haircut is applied to the outstanding principal value.
Periodically, the margins (and haircuts) that are applied in the valuation of this pledged collateral are re-assessed. This re-assessment helps to ensure that the collateral margins reflect current market conditions. These margins are used to account for various risks and are applied to both priced and non-priced pledged collateral held in book-entry and definitive forms.
Acceptable securities must be investment grade or rated equal to investment grade unless otherwise specified. If not investment grade, securities may be acceptable but subject to an additional haircut depending on the credit worthiness of the security as determined by the Federal Reserve System and approved by Treasury.
For current applied margins, please refer to Treasury’s Bureau of the Public Debt website (www.treasurydirect.gov/), the Federal Reserve’s Financial Services website (www.frbservices.org/), or contact the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’s “Treasury Tax & Loan Customer Service Center” at 1-888-568-7343 (Select Option 2 for Collateral Monitoring).
FEDWIRE CODES:
