Regulation A: Extensions of Credit by Federal Reserve Banks

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) proposes to amend its Regulation A (Extensions of Credit by Federal Reserve Banks) to specify that a holder of a proposed special-purpose payment account (a Payment Account) would not be eligible for access to discount window credit made available by the Federal Reserve Banks (Reserve Banks). The proposal would change neither the existing programs under which the Reserve Banks generally provide discount window credit (primary credit, secondary credit, and seasonal credit) nor the process for establishing the primary credit, secondary credit, and seasonal credit rates.
