SEC staff had to make judgments in some limited cases as to whether certain securities held in prime money market funds were

issued by a specific bank.  The banks were then grouped by country based on location of their global headquarters. In general, the

calculations include Asset Backed CP sponsored by a bank and all repos with that bank as counterparty.  If identifiable with a specific

bank, money market tranches of ABS are included in the calculation. Securities guaranteed, but not issued by, bank‐related entities

are not included.
