Profile of the Economy 

[Source: Office of Macroeconomic Analysis] 

As of May 7, 2013 

Introduction 

Economic growth accelerated during the first quarter of 

2013, after growing at a modest pace during the fourth 

quarter of 2012. Faster growth in consumer spending, a large 

increase in inventories, and a smaller drag from declining 

government outlays all contributed to the faster pace of 

growth, against a backdrop which included the expiry of the 

payroll tax holiday in the United States as well as the 

ongoing sovereign debt crisis in Europe. Job creation 

continued at a moderate pace during the first quarter of 

2013. The economy has added 6.8 million private sector jobs 

since job growth resumed in early 2010, and the 

unemployment rate has declined 2.5 percentage points from 

its peak level in October 2009, but remains elevated at 7.5 

percent. Conditions in the housing sector continued to 

improve, with house prices in particular showing solid and 

steady gains. 

Although the Administration has taken a number of steps 

in recent years to promote stronger economic growth in the 

near-term, it has also pursued deficit reduction measures in 

the interests of the nation’s longer-term growth. More than 

$2.5 trillion in deficit reduction measures have been enacted 

over the past 2 years, including the January 2013 signing of 

the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA), which will 

reduce the deficit by an estimated $737 billion over the next 

10 years. An additional $1.2 trillion in sequester-related 

spending cuts took effect in March 2013. Since fiscal year 

2009, the federal budget deficit has fallen from a peak of 

10.1 percent of GDP to 7.0 percent in fiscal year 2012. 

At its most recent meeting in May 2013, the Federal 

Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) 

announced it would maintain its monetary stance, including 

existing programs of asset purchase, reinvestment of 

principal payments, and roll-overs of maturing Treasuries at 

auction. 

Economic Growth 

Since the current expansion began in mid-2009, the 

economy has grown by about 8.3 percent and, as of the first 

quarter of 2013, real GDP was 3.2 percent above its level at 

the end of 2007, when the recession began. According to the 

advance estimate, real GDP advanced 2.5 percent at an 

annual rate during the first quarter of 2013, marking the 15th 

straight quarter of growth, after increasing by 0.4 percent in 

the fourth quarter of last year. The acceleration in growth in 

the latest quarter reflected faster growth of personal 

consumption and inventory accumulation, as well as a 

smaller decline in government spending. These factors 

helped offset a larger drag from imports and much slower 

growth in nonresidential fixed investment. Consensus 

forecasts currently put real GDP growth in the second 

quarter of 2013 at a 1.7 percent annual rate. 

Private domestic final demand (consumption plus private 

fixed investment, considered a better measure of underlying 

private demand because it subtracts out government 

spending, inventory movements, and net exports) grew at a 

3.3 percent annual rate in the first quarter, slowing only a bit 

from the fourth quarter’s 3.6 percent pace. Real personal 

consumption expenditures—which account for about 70 

percent of GDP—advanced by a 3.2 percent annual rate in 

the first quarter, accelerating from the 1.8 percent rise in the 

fourth quarter. Consumption added 2.2 percentage points to 

real GDP growth in the latest quarter—its largest 

contribution to growth since the fourth quarter of 2010. 

Residential investment—mostly residential homebuilding—grew 12.6 percent in the first quarter, decelerating 

from a 17.6 percent pace in the fourth quarter. Residential 

activity added 0.3 percentage point to first-quarter real GDP 

growth. For the past eight consecutive quarters, the first such 

string of advances in this sector since 2005, growth in 

residential investment has averaged more than 11 percent 

per quarter. Significantly, residential investment grew by 

nearly 15 percent in 2012, the strongest yearly increase since 

1983. 

Noteworthy progress has been made in the housing 

market over the past several months, as captured by several 

measures. Although single-family housing starts fell 4.8 

percent in March 2013 to 619,000 units at an annual rate, 

this was still nearly 30 percent above the level in March 

2012. The level of single-family starts has risen by more 

than 75 percent from a low of 353,000 in March 2009, but in 

March 2013, it was still about 66 percent below the January 

2006 peak, and well below the 1.1 million unit average 
4 PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY 

June 2013 

observed from 1980 to 2004. Sales of new single-family 

homes have risen just over 9 percent over the past year, 

reaching 417,000 at an annual rate in March 2013. Sales of 

existing single-family homes (94 percent of all home sales) 

increased almost 13 percent over the past year to 4.32 

million at an annual rate in March 2013. The inventory of 

homes available for sale also continued to trend lower. As of 

March, the number of new single-family homes for sale was 

near a record low (dating back to 1963). Relative to sales, 

there was a 4.4-month supply of new homes on the market, 

below its long-run average. The inventory of existing singlefamily homes has also fallen noticeably, relative to sales. In 

March, there was a 4.7-month supply of these homes 

available for sale, down considerably from a peak of 12.1 

months in June 2010. House price measures continue to 

improve, with a number having risen on a year-over-year 

basis for several months, reflecting a pick-up in demand and, 

according to some anecdotal reports, tight inventories in 

some markets. The FHFA purchase-only house price index 

rose 0.7 percent in February, and was up 7.1 percent in the 

year through February, the strongest 12-month gain since 

mid-2006, and the 13th straight month of year-over-year 

increases in this index. In February 2013, the Standard & 

Poor’s (S&P)/Case-Shiller composite 20-city home price 

index was up 0.3 percent, and rose 9.3 percent year-overyear, compared with a 3.6 percent decline over the year 

ended in February 2012. Reflecting growing optimism in the 

housing market, the March 2013 Zillow Home Price 

Expectations Survey predicted that home prices will rise by 

4.6 percent in 2013 and by 4.2 percent in 2014. 

Nonresidential fixed investment—about 10 percent of 

GDP—grew 2.1 percent (annual rate) in the first quarter of 

2013, slowing markedly from the 13.2 percent surge in last 

year’s fourth quarter. The slowdown in business fixed 

investment partly reflected a large swing in investment in 

structures. Outlays for structures declined 0.3 percent in the 

first quarter of this year, compared with a nearly 17 percent 

jump in the fourth quarter. Growth in business spending on 

equipment and software slowed to 3 percent in the first 

quarter, after advancing nearly 12 percent in the fourth 

quarter. Over the eight quarters of 2011 and 2012, business 

investment in structures averaged 8.7 percent, and spending 

on equipment and software averaged 8.2 percent. Altogether, 

nonresidential fixed investment added 0.2 percentage point 

to real GDP growth in the first quarter of 2013. Inventory 

accumulation made a positive contribution to growth in the 

first quarter, adding 1.0 percentage point to GDP growth, 

after subtracting 1.5 percentage points in the fourth quarter. 

Exports account for about 12 percent of GDP, while 

imports (which are subtracted from total domestic spending 

to calculate GDP) account for about 17 percent. After 

contributing 1 percentage point, on average, to quarterly 

GDP growth in 2007 through 2009, net exports subtracted 

0.5 percentage point in 2010, and then added 0.1 percentage 

point in 2011, and made a very small positive contribution to 

growth in 2012. In the first quarter of 2013, the net export 

deficit widened as exports rose 2.9 percent, but imports 

increased 5.4 percent. Net exports subtracted 0.5 percentage 

point from GDP growth in the first quarter, after adding 0.3 

percentage point to growth in the fourth quarter. 

The current account balance (reflecting international 

trade in goods and services, investment income flows, and 

unilateral transfers) has been in deficit almost continuously 

since the early 1980s and, in 2006, reached a record $801 

billion, equivalent to 6.0 percent of GDP. After narrowing to 

$382 billion (2.7 percent of GDP) in 2009, the current 

account deficit widened again to $442 billion (3.0 percent of 

GDP) in 2010 and to $466 billion (3.1 percent of GDP) in 

2011. It continued to grow in 2012, widening to $475 

billion, but declined slightly as a percentage of GDP (to 3.0 

percent). 

Government purchases—which account for roughly 20 

percent of GDP—fell 4.1 percent in the first quarter of 2013, 

somewhat less than the 7.0 percent drop in the fourth quarter 

of 2012. Government outlays for consumption and 

investment have fallen in 11 of the past 13 quarters, and in 

the first quarter of this year, subtracted 0.8 percentage point 

from real GDP growth. Federal spending fell 8.4 percent in 

the first quarter after a nearly 15 percent plunge in the fourth 

quarter, and subtracted 0.7 percentage point from real GDP 

growth. After 11 straight quarterly declines in State and 

local government spending—the longest period of falling 

expenditures at this level of government in postwar 

history—State and local spending grew 0.3 percent in the 

third quarter of 2012, but fell again in the fourth quarter, by 

1.5 percent, and by 1.2 percent in the first quarter of 2013, 

shaving 0.1 percentage point from real GDP growth in the 

latest quarter. 

Labor Markets 

During the recession (from December 2007 through June 

2009), the economy lost 7.7 million private-sector jobs. Job 

losses continued even after the recovery began, but in 

February 2010, nonfarm payrolls began to rise again. Since 

then, through April 2013, total nonfarm payroll employment 

has grown by nearly 6.2 million. In the private sector, 

employment has increased by 6.8 million during the same 

period. 

Job losses during the recession were spread broadly 

across most sectors but, with the resumption of job growth, 

all of these sectors have added jobs. Since the labor market 

recovery began in early 2010, payrolls in professional and 

business services have risen by nearly 1.9 million, and the 

leisure and hospitality industries’ employment has increased 

by 1.1 million through April 2013. Growth in manufacturing 

payrolls has resumed in recent months, and payrolls have 

grown by 530,000 since early 2010. A few sectors continued 

to add jobs throughout the recession and still continue to hire 

new workers: since early 2010, the health care and social 

assistance sector has added an additional 974,000 jobs. The 

government sector also added workers to payrolls during the 

recession, but the State and local sectors have since cut 
PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY 5 

June 2013 

employment considerably. From February 2010 through 

April 2013, total government sector job losses reached 

626,000 and, over that same period, State and local job 

losses numbered 524,000, including 428,000 local 

government jobs (of which 295,000 were in local education). 

The unemployment rate peaked at 10.0 percent in 

October 2009—a 26-year high—and 5.6 percentage points 

above the May 2007 low of 4.4 percent. Over the next 3 

years, the unemployment rate trended lower, reaching 7.5 

percent in April 2013. Broader measures of unemployment 

have also declined. One such measure that includes workers 

who are underemployed and those who are only marginally 

attached to the labor force (the U-6 unemployment rate) 

reached a record high of 17.2 percent in October 2009 

(series dates from 1994)—nearly double its level of 8.8 

percent in December 2007. This measure stood at 13.9 

percent in April 2013. The percentage of the unemployed 

who have been out of work for 27 weeks or more peaked at 

an all-time high of 45.5 percent in March 2011. This 

measure dropped to 37.4 percent in April 2013, its lowest 

level since October 2009. 

Inflation 

Headline inflation, as well as core inflation (excluding 

food and energy), have moderated over the past year, and 

both remain low by historical standards. Headline consumer 

prices rose 1.5 percent over the 12 months ending in March 

2013, slowing from the 2.7 percent increase during the 12 

months through March 2012. Energy prices fell 1.6 percent 

in the year through March, compared with a 4.6 percent 

advance in the previous year. Food prices rose 1.5 percent 

over the year through March 2013, considerably less than 

the 3.3 percent increase of the previous year. On a 12-month 

basis, core consumer prices (excluding food and energy) 

rose 1.9 percent through March 2013, less than the 2.3 

percent increase in the year through March 2012. Labor 

market slack should continue to keep wage growth and core 

inflation in check for the foreseeable future. 

Energy prices fluctuated throughout 2012, but have 

trended lower in more recent months. The front-month 

futures price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil 

climbed to nearly $110 per barrel in February 2012, but 

averaged $92.15 per barrel in April 2013, down more than 

$11 from April 2012. The retail price of regular gasoline 

averaged $3.57 per gallon in April 2013, down 33 cents from 

a year earlier. Prices for crude oil and gasoline remained 

below the all-time highs reached in July 2008, of $147 per 

barrel and $4.11 per gallon, respectively.

Federal Budget and Debt 

The federal budget deficit narrowed to $1.1 trillion in 

fiscal year 2012, dropping sharply as a percentage of GDP to 

7.0 percent from 8.7 percent in fiscal year 2011. The deficit 

has declined by roughly 3 percentage points as a share of the 

economy from a peak of 10.1 percent in fiscal year 2009. 

The budget deficit is projected to fall another percentage 

point to 6 percent of GDP in fiscal year 2013. 

On March 1, 2013, $1.2 trillion in mandated public 

spending cuts, collectively known as the sequester, took 

effect. In April 2013, the Administration released its Fiscal 

Year 2014 budget proposal, which would replace the 

sequester with a deficit reduction package worth $1.8 trillion 

over the next 10 years. Together with the $2.5 trillion in 

deficit reduction measures enacted in the previous 2 years, 

these measures would bring the total amount of deficit 

reduction over 10 years to $4.3 trillion. The budget deficit is 

projected to decline to 4.4 percent of GDP in fiscal year 

2014, and to dip below 3 percent of GDP by fiscal year 

2016. The primary deficit—receipts less outlays, excluding 

net interest—would reach balance in fiscal year 2019, at 

which point spending would no longer add to the national 

debt. 

The national debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to peak at 

78.2 percent in fiscal years 2014 and 2015, and then begin to 

decline, falling to 73 percent of GDP in fiscal year 2023. 

Economic Policy 

Key fiscal and monetary policy actions taken over the 

past few years have aided the recovery. On the fiscal policy 

side, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 

authorized the Federal Government to spend $787 billion to 

stimulate domestic demand, an amount that was increased by 

$840 billion to be consistent with the President’s Fiscal Year 

2012 Budget. This spending provided an important boost to 

economic activity, but the Administration also proposed and 

implemented a variety of additional programs to maintain 

the recovery’s momentum. These included an extension and 

expansion of the first-time home buyer tax credit, a new 

Small Business Jobs and Wages Tax Credit, and additional 

financial support for State and local Governments. In 

December 2010, the 2010 Tax Relief Act authorized a 2 

percent payroll tax cut, extensions of unemployment benefits 

and refundable tax credits, and a 2-year extension of the 

2001 tax cuts. In late December 2011, the 2 percentage point 

employee payroll tax cut, and extended unemployment 

benefits included in the 2010 tax legislation, were each 

extended for 2 additional months. In late February 2012, the 

extension of the payroll tax cut and extended unemployment 

benefits for the remainder of 2012 were signed into law. 

In January 2013, the ATRA was signed into law, thereby 

reducing the budget deficit by an estimated $737 billion over 

the next decade. The ATRA permanently extended tax cuts 

for the vast majority of Americans and small businesses, 

extended Emergency Unemployment benefits for an 

additional year, extended a variety of other tax cuts and 

credits, and postponed the sequester scheduled to take effect 

on January 1 until March 1, 2013. 

Partly in response to rising financial market stress, as 

well as to signs of more slowing in the broader economy, the 

Federal Reserve began easing monetary policy in September 

2007. By late 2008, the FOMC had lowered the federal 

funds target interest rate dramatically, reducing it to a 

historically low target range of 0 percent to 0.25 percent at 

the December 2008 FOMC meeting. Beginning with the 

August 2011 meeting, the FOMC also began identifying an 

expected timeframe for maintaining the Federal funds rate 

target at “exceptionally low levels.” Initially put at mid2013, the timeframe was extended to “at least late 2014” at 

the January 2012 FOMC meeting, and then to “at least mid2015” at the September 2012 meeting, a timeframe for the 

target range which was maintained at the October 2012 

meeting. At the December 2012 meeting, however, the 

FOMC implemented numerical targets for its policy rate 

guidance. Specifically, the FOMC indicated that it would 

maintain the target range as long as the unemployment rate 

remained above 6.5 percent, inflation between 1 and 2 years 

ahead is projected to be no more than 0.5 percentage point 

above the FOMC’s 2 percent longer-run goal, and long-term 

inflation expectations remain well anchored. These 

numerical targets were maintained at the FOMC’s most 

recent meeting in May 2013. 

The Federal Reserve significantly expanded its tools to 

increase liquidity in credit markets, and eased lending terms 

to sectors in need of liquidity, including a variety of facilities 

and funds directed at specific financial markets. As of June 

30, 2010, all of these special facilities had expired. At the 

August 2010 FOMC meeting, the Federal Reserve 

announced it would maintain its holdings of securities at 

current levels by reinvesting principal payments from 

agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in 

longer-term Treasury securities, and continue rolling over 

the Federal Reserve’s holdings of Treasury securities as they 

mature. At the end of June 2011, the FOMC completed 

purchases of $600 billion of longer-term Treasury securities. 

At the September 2011 meeting, the FOMC announced it 

would extend the average maturity of its holdings (a socalled “twist” operation) by purchasing $400 billion of 

longer-term (6 to 30 years) Treasury securities and selling an 

equal amount of shorter-term (3 years or less) Treasury 

securities, all by the end of June 2012. The Committee also 

announced the reinvestment of principal payments from its 

holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed 

securities into the latter securities. At the June 2012 meeting, 

the FOMC extended and expanded its program to extend the 

average maturity of its holdings (the so-called “twist” 

operation announced in September 2011). At the September 

2012 meeting, the FOMC announced it would increase 

monetary accommodation through $40 billion per month in 

additional purchases of mortgage-backed securities through 

the end of the year. The FOMC announced additional 
PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY 7 

June 2013 

monetary accommodation at the December 2012 meeting, 

including the completion of short-term securities sales 

(which drain liquidity) and the continuation of purchases of 

long-term Treasury securities at a rate of $45 billion per 

month beyond the end of 2012. The FOMC also indicated 

that monthly purchases of mortgage-backed securities at a 

pace of $40 billion per month would continue, and affirmed 

its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments. At the 

May 2013 meeting, the FOMC re-affirmed these 

arrangements, which means it will be growing its balance 

sheet at a rate of $85 billion per month on an open-ended 

basis. 

Financial Markets 

Financial markets have largely recovered from the 

unprecedented strains experienced in the fall of 2008, but 

came under renewed pressure in 2011, as investors 

expressed concerns about slowing economic growth in the 

United States as well as globally, and about strains in debt 

markets in Europe. These concerns persisted in 2012 and 

into 2013, and have expanded to include uncertainty about 

the U.S. fiscal situation. Nonetheless, financial conditions in 

general continue to improve. Credit flows have increased 

substantially since early 2009, with banks continuing to ease 

standards and terms across several lending categories, 

although the availability of residential real estate loans 

remains comparatively limited. Demand for business, 

mortgage, and consumer loans has trended higher, and in 

particular, demand for commercial and industrial loans 

among large, middle-market, and small firms increased in 

the final quarter of 2012, and again in the first quarter of this 

year. After some deterioration in the summer of 2011, 

measures of risk tolerance and volatility have all improved. 

After plunging 38.5 percent in 2008, the sharpest loss 

since 1931 (when an earlier version of the index, containing 

only 90 stocks, dropped 47 percent), the S&P 500 index rose 

23.5 percent in 2009 and 12.8 percent in 2010. Although the 

index was flat in 2011, it advanced 13.4 percent last year. 

Thus far in 2013, the index has reached successive record 

highs, and is up about 12 percent. The S&P Stock Market 

Volatility Index (VIX), often used as a measure of financial 

market uncertainty, surged to an all-time high of 80 in late 

October 2008, after hovering in a range of 20 to 30 for most 

of that year. The VIX retreated fairly steadily during 2009, 

ending that year at about 20. Since then, the VIX has 

fluctuated more widely, resurging to 46 in mid-May 2010 

and to that level again in early October 2011. Since the most 

recent peak, this index has trended lower, and stood at about 

13 as of early May 2013. 

A variety of factors have buffeted long-term Treasury 

interest rates, including flight-to-quality flows in response to 

a variety of specific risk events, as well as supply concerns 

related to funding of the government’s debt, concern about 

the need for fiscal retrenchment, the downgrade of U.S. 

Treasury debt by rating agency S&P in August 2011, 

ongoing concerns about European debt markets and debt 

downgrades in some European countries and, most recently, 

concerns about forthcoming fiscal drag in the United States. 

The yield on the 10-year note traded above the 3 percent 

level during the first half of 2011, but thereafter trended 

lower, reaching a record low of 1.43 percent in late July 

2012. The yield subsequently rose and fluctuated around the 

2 percent mark in early 2013 but, in recent weeks, the yield 

has trended lower again, and stood at 1.8 percent as of early 

May 2013. The 3-month Treasury bill yield fluctuated in a 

range from about 0.05 percent to 0.17 percent for much of 

2011 but, between August 2011 and January 2012, the yield 

fluctuated in a range of 0.0 percent to 0.02 percent. Since 

then, the yield has fluctuated around 0.1 percent as of early 

May 2013. The 2- to 10-year Treasury yield spread, one 
8 PROFILE OF THE ECONOMY 

June 2013 

measure of the steepness of the yield curve, widened to 291 

basis points in early February 2011, then trended noticeably 

lower, reaching 132 basis points in mid-November 2012. 

Since then, the spread has widened a bit, to just under 160 

basis points as of early May 2013. 

Key interest rates on private securities, which spiked in 

response to financial market turbulence in late 2008, have 

since retraced as conditions have stabilized. The spread 

between the 3-month London Inter-bank Offered Rate 

(LIBOR) and the 3-month Treasury bill rate (the TED 

spread, a measure of inter-bank liquidity and credit risk) rose 

to an all-time high of nearly 460 basis points in early 

October 2008. However, improvements in short-term credit 

availability have led to a narrowing of this spread. Through 

early August 2011, the TED spread fluctuated in a range 

from 14 to 25 basis points. Since then, this spread has 

widened, reaching almost 60 basis points earlier this year, 

before narrowing again to 23 basis points in early May 2013. 

The spread between the Baa corporate bond yield and the 

10-year Treasury yield peaked at nearly 620 basis points in 

December 2008. After narrowing on trend in the intervening 

years, and trading below 300 basis points for much of 2011, 

the spread widened above that level again in early August 

2011 to about 340 basis points. The spread remained above 

300 basis points for much of 2012, but dropped below that 

level late in the year, where it has remained since. This 

spread stood at 282 basis points as of early May 2013, still 

very high by historical standards. 

Rates for conforming mortgages have trended lower in 

recent years, as have rates for jumbo mortgages. The interest 

rate for a 30-year conforming fixed-rate mortgage fell to a 

record low of 3.31 percent in November 2012; as of early 

May 2013, the rate had risen to 3.66 percent.

Foreign Exchange Rates 

The value of the U.S. dollar compared with the 

currencies of seven major trading partners (the euro area 

countries, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, 

Sweden, and Switzerland) appreciated to a peak level in 

February 2002, and has depreciated significantly since then. 

From its peak in February 2002, to the recent low reached in 

August 2011, the exchange value of the dollar compared to 

an index of these currencies fell by about 38.5 percent. 

Although the dollar’s exchange value against this index 

remains well below the February 2002 peak, it has 

appreciated between August 2011 and April 2013 by about 

10.5 percent. Over the longer timeframe, the dollar 

depreciated by about 42 percent against the yen and by 34.5 

percent against the euro. In the period since August 2011 

through April 2013, the dollar has appreciated by 27 percent 

against the yen and by 10 percent against the euro. Against 

an index of currencies of 19 other important trading partners 

(including China, India, and Mexico), the dollar depreciated 

10.2 percent over the longer timeframe, and has appreciated 

by 1.8 percent against this basket between August 2011 and 

April 2013.

INTRODUCTION: Federal Fiscal Operations 

Budget authority usually takes the form of appropriations 

that allow obligations to be incurred and payments to be 

made. Reappropriations are Congressional actions that 

extend the availability of unobligated amounts that have 

expired or would otherwise expire. These are counted as 

new budget authority in the fiscal year of the legislation in 

which the reappropriation act is included, regardless of when 

the amounts were originally appropriated or when they 

would otherwise lapse. 

Obligations generally are liquidated by the issuance of 

checks or the disbursement of cash—outlays. Obligations 

may also be liquidated (and outlays recorded) by the accrual 

of interest on public issues of Treasury debt securities 

(including an increase in redemption value of bonds 

outstanding); or by the issuance of bonds, debentures, notes, 

monetary credits, or electronic payments. 

Refunds of collections generally are treated as reductions 

of collections, whereas payments for earned-income tax 

credits in excess of tax liabilities are treated as outlays. 

Outlays during a fiscal year may be for payment of 

obligations incurred in prior years or in the same year. 

Outlays, therefore, flow in part from unexpended balances of 

prior year budget authority and from budget authority 

provided for the year in which the money is spent. Total 

outlays include both budget and off-budget outlays and are 

stated net of offsetting collections. 

Receipts are reported in the tables as either budget 

receipts or offsetting collections. They are collections from 

the public, excluding receipts offset against outlays. These, 

also called governmental receipts, consist mainly of tax 

receipts (including social insurance taxes), receipts from 

court fines, certain licenses, and deposits of earnings by the 

Federal Reserve system. Refunds of receipts are treated as 

deductions from gross receipts. Total Government receipts 

are compared with total outlays in calculating the budget 

surplus or deficit. 

Offsetting collections from other Government accounts 

or the public are of a business-type or market-oriented 

nature. They are classified as either collections credited to 

appropriations or fund accounts, or offsetting receipts (i.e., 

amounts deposited in receipt accounts). The former normally 

can be used without an appropriation act by Congress. These 

occur in two instances: (1) when authorized by law, amounts 

collected for materials or services are treated as 

reimbursements to appropriations. For accounting purposes, 

earned reimbursements are also known as revenues. These 

offsetting collections are netted against gross outlays in 

determining net outlays from such appropriations; and (2) in 

the three types of revolving funds (public enterprise, 

intragovernmental, and trust); offsetting collections are 

netted against spending, and outlays are reported as the net 

amount. 

Offsetting receipts in receipt accounts cannot be used 

without appropriation. They are subdivided into three 

categories: (1) proprietary receipts, or collections from the 

public, offset against outlays by agency and by function; (2) 

intragovernmental transactions, or payments into receipt 

accounts from governmental appropriation or fund accounts. 

They finance operations within and between Government 

agencies and are credited with collections from other 

Government accounts; and (3) offsetting governmental 

receipts that include foreign cash contributions. 

Intrabudgetary transactions are subdivided into three 

categories: (1) interfund transactions—payments are from 

one fund group (either Federal funds or trust funds) to a 

receipt account in the other fund group; (2) Federal intrafund 

transactions—payments and receipts both occur within the 

Federal fund group; and (3) trust intrafund transactions—

payments and receipts both occur within the trust fund 

group. 

Offsetting receipts are generally deducted from budget 

authority and outlays by function, subfunction, or agency. 

There are four types of receipts, however, that are deducted 

from budget totals as undistributed offsetting receipts. They 

are: (1) agencies’ payments (including payments by offbudget Federal entities) as employers into employees’ 

retirement funds; (2) interest received by trust funds; (3) 

rents and royalties on the Outer Continental Shelf lands; and 

(4) other interest (i.e., that collected on Outer Continental 

Shelf money in deposit funds when such money is 

transferred into the budget). 

The Government has used the unified budget concept set 

forth in the “Report of the President’s Commission on 

Budget Concepts” as a foundation for its budgetary analysis 

and presentation since 1969. The concept calls for the 

budget to include all of the Government’s fiscal transactions 

with the public. Since 1971, however, various laws have 

been enacted removing several Federal entities from (or 

creating them outside of) the budget. Other laws have moved 

certain off-budget Federal entities onto the budget. Under 

current law, the off-budget Federal entities consist of the two 

Social Security trust funds, Federal Old-Age and Survivors 

Insurance and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund, 

and the Postal Service. 

Although an off-budget Federal entity’s receipts, outlays, 

and surplus or deficit ordinarily are not subject to targets set 

by the Congressional resolution, the Balanced Budget and 

Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 [commonly known 

as the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act as amended by the 

Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (2 United States Code 900-

922)] included off-budget surplus or deficit in calculating 

deficit targets under that act and in calculating excess deficit. 

Partly for this reason, attention has focused on both on- and 

off-budget receipts, outlays and deficit of the Government.

Tables FFO-1, FFO-2, and FFO-3 are published 

quarterly and cover 5 years of data, estimates for 2 years, 

detail for 13 months, and fiscal year-to-date data. They 

provide a summary of data relating to Federal fiscal 

operations reported by Federal entities and disbursing 

officers, and daily reports from the FRBs. They also detail 

accounting transactions affecting receipts and outlays of the 

Government and off-budget Federal entities and their related 

effect on assets and liabilities of the Government. Data are 

derived from the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts 

and Outlays of the United States Government.” 

 Table FFO-1 summarizes the amount of total 

receipts, outlays, and surplus or deficit, as well as 

transactions in Federal securities, monetary assets, and 

balances in Treasury operating cash. 

 Table FFO-2 includes on- and off-budget receipts 

by source. Amounts represent income taxes, social insurance 

taxes, net contributions for other insurance and retirement, 

excise taxes, estate and gift taxes, customs duties, and net 

miscellaneous receipts. 

 Table FFO-3 details on- and off-budget outlays by 

agency. 

 Table FFO-4 summarizes on- and off-budget 

receipts by source and outlays by function as reported to 

each major fund group classification for the current fiscal 

year to date and prior fiscal year to date. 

 Table FFO-5 summarizes internal revenue receipts 

by states and by type of tax. Amounts reported are 

collections made in a fiscal year. They span several tax 

liability years because they consist of prepayments 

(estimated tax payments and taxes withheld by employers 

for individual income and Social Security taxes), payments 

made with tax returns and subsequent payments made after 

tax returns are due or are filed (that is, payments with 

delinquent returns or on delinquent accounts). 

Amounts are reported based on the primary filing 

address provided by each taxpayer or reporting entity. For 

multistate corporations, the address may reflect only the 

district where such a corporation reported its taxes from a 

principal office rather than other districts where income was 

earned or where individual income and Social Security taxes 

were withheld. In addition, an individual may reside in one 

district and work in another. 

 Table FFO-6 includes customs collection of duties, 

taxes, and fees by districts and ports.

Second-Quarter Receipts 

The following capsule analysis of budget 

receipts, by source, for the second quarter of fiscal 

year 2013 supplements fiscal data reported in the 

March issue of the “Treasury Bulletin.” At the time 

of that issue’s release, not enough data were 

available to adequately analyze collections for the 

quarter. 

Individual income taxes—Individual income tax 

receipts, net of refunds, were $242.8 billion for the second 

quarter of fiscal year 2013. This is an increase of $29.0 

billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Withheld 

receipts increased by $6.6 billion and non-withheld receipts 

decreased by $11.5 billion during this period. Refunds 

increased by $11.0 billion over the comparable fiscal year 

2012 quarter. There was an increase of $1.7 billion in 

accounting adjustments between individual income tax 

receipts and the Social Security and Medicare trust funds 

over the comparable quarter in fiscal year 2012. 

Corporate income taxes—Net corporate income tax 

receipts were $37.8 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 

year 2013. This is an increase of $8.9 billion compared to 

the prior year second quarter. The $8.9 billion change is 

comprised of an increase of $7.8 billion in estimated and 

final payments, and a decrease of $1.1 billion in corporate 

refunds. 

Employment taxes and contributions—Employment 

taxes and contributions receipts for the second quarter of 

fiscal year 2013 were $238.7 billion, an increase of $34.0 

billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Receipts to 

the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, Federal 

Disability Insurance, and Federal Hospital Insurance trust 

funds changed by $27.5 billion, $4.6 billion, and $1.6 billion 

respectively. There was a $5.3 billion accounting adjustment 

for prior years employment tax liabilities made in the second 

quarter of fiscal year 2013, while there was a $3.6 billion 

adjustment in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. 

Unemployment insurance—Unemployment insurance 

receipts, net of refunds, for the second quarter of fiscal year 

2013 were $9.3 billion, a increase of $0.6 billion over the 

comparable quarter of fiscal year 2012. Net State taxes 

deposited in the U.S. Treasury did not change significantly 

from $6.0 billion. Net Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes 

increased by $0.7 billion to $3.3 billion.

Contributions for other insurance and retirement—

Contributions for other retirement were $0.9 billion for the 

second quarter of fiscal year 2013. This was a negligible 

change from the comparable quarter of fiscal year 2012. 

Excise taxes—Net excise tax receipts for the second 

quarter of fiscal year 2013 were $18.8 billion, an increase of 

$1.8 billion over the comparable prior year quarter. Total 

excise tax refunds for the quarter were $0.7 billion, a decrease 

of $1.0 billion over the comparable prior year quarter. 

Estate and gift taxes—Net estate and gift tax receipts 

were $3.3 billion for the seond quarter of fiscal year 2013. 

These receipts represent an increase of $0.1 billion over the 

same quarter in fiscal year 2012. 

Customs duties—Customs duties net of refunds were 

$7.6 billion for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. This 

is an increase of $0.7 billion over the comparable prior year 

quarter. 

Miscellaneous receipts—Net miscellaneous receipts 

for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 were $21.9 billion, 

an decrease of $3.0 billion over the comparable prior year 

quarter. This change is due in part to deposits of earnings by 

Federal Reserve banks decreasing by $5.8 billion.

INTRODUCTION: Source and Availability of the 

Balance in the Account of the U.S. Treasury

The Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury’s) operating 

cash is maintained in accounts with the Federal Reserve 

banks (FRBs) and branches, as well as in tax and loan 

accounts in other financial institutions. Major information 

sources include FRBs, Treasury Regional Financial Centers, 

Internal Revenue Service Centers, Bureau of the Public 

Debt, and various electronic systems. As the FRB accounts 

are depleted, funds are called in (withdrawn) from thousands 

of tax and loan accounts at financial institutions throughout 

the country. 

Under authority of Public Law 95-147 (codified at 31 

United States Code 323), Treasury implemented a program 

on November 2, 1978, to invest a portion of its operating 

cash in obligations of depositaries maintaining tax and loan 

accounts. Under the Treasury tax and loan (TT&L) 

investment program, depositary financial institutions select 

the manner in which they will participate. Financial 

institutions wishing to retain funds deposited into their tax 

and loan accounts in interest-bearing obligations can 

participate. The program permits Treasury to collect funds 

through financial institutions and to leave the funds in TT&L 

depositaries and in the financial communities in which they 

arise until Treasury needs the funds for its operations. In this 

way, Treasury is able to neutralize the effect of its 

fluctuating operations on TT&L financial institution reserves 

and on the economy. Likewise, those institutions wishing to 

remit the funds to the Treasury account at FRBs do so as 

collector depositaries. 

Deposits to tax and loan accounts occur as customers of 

financial institutions deposit tax payments that the financial 

institutions use to purchase Government securities. In most 

cases, this involves a transfer of funds from a customer’s 

account to the tax and loan account in the same financial 

institution. Also, Treasury can direct the FRBs to invest 

excess funds in tax and loan accounts directly from the 

Treasury account at the FRBs.

INTRODUCTION: Federal Debt 

Treasury securities (i.e., public debt securities) comprise 

most of the Federal debt, with securities issued by other 

Federal agencies accounting for the rest. Tables in this 

section of the “Treasury Bulletin” reflect the total. Further 

detailed information is published in the “Monthly Statement 

of the Public Debt of the United States.” Likewise, 

information on agency securities and on investments of 

Federal Government accounts in Federal securities is 

published in the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts 

and Outlays of the United States Government.” 

Treasury’s Financial Management Service (FMS) 

compiles data in the “Treasury Bulletin” tables FD-2 and 

FD-6 from the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the 

United States.” 

 Table FD-1 summarizes the Federal debt by listing 

public debt and agency securities held by the public, 

including the Federal Reserve. It also includes debt held by 

Federal agencies, largely by the Social Security and other 

Federal retirement trust funds. The net unamortized 

premium and discount also are listed by total Federal 

securities, securities held by Government accounts and 

securities held by the public. The difference between the 

outstanding face value of the Federal debt and the net 

unamortized premium and discount is classified as the 

accrual amount. (For greater detail on holdings of Federal 

securities by particular classes of investors, see the 

ownership tables, OFS-1 and OFS-2.) 

 Table FD-2 categorizes by type, that is, marketable 

and nonmarketable, the total public debt securities 

outstanding that are held by the public. 

 In table FD-3, nonmarketable Treasury securities 

held by U.S. Government accounts are summarized by 

issues to particular funds within Government. Many of the 

funds invest in par value special series nonmarketables at 

interest rates determined by law. Others invest in marketbased special Treasury securities whose terms mirror those 

of marketable securities. 

 Table FD-4 presents interest-bearing securities 

issued by Government agencies. Federal agency borrowing 

has declined in recent years, in part because the Federal 

Financing Bank has provided financing to other Federal 

agencies. (Federal agency borrowing from Treasury is 

presented in the “Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts 

and Outlays of the United States Government.”) 

 Table FD-5 illustrates the average length of 

marketable interest-bearing public debt held by private 

investors and the maturity distribution of that debt. 

In March 1971, Congress enacted a limited exception to 

the amount of bonds with rates greater than 4-1/4 percent 

that could be held by the public. This permitted Treasury to 

offer securities maturing in more than 7 years at current 

market interest rates for the first time since 1965. In March 

1976, the definition of a bond was changed to include those 

securities longer than 10 years to maturity. This exception 

has expanded since 1971, authorizing Treasury to continue 

to issue long-term securities. The ceiling on Treasury bonds 

was repealed on November 10, 1988. 

The volume of privately held Treasury marketable 

securities by maturity class reflects the remaining period to 

maturity of Treasury bills, notes and bonds. The average 

length is comprised of an average of remaining periods to 

maturity, weighted by the amount of each security held by 

private investors. In other words, computations of average 

length exclude Government accounts and the FRBs. 

 In table FD-6, the debt ceiling is compared with the 

outstanding debt subject to limitation by law. The other debt 

category includes Federal debt Congress has designated as 

being subject to the debt ceiling. 

 Table FD-7 details Treasury holdings of securities 

issued by Government corporations and other agencies. 

Certain Federal agencies are authorized to borrow money 

from the Treasury, largely to finance direct loan programs. 

In addition, agencies such as the Bonneville Power 

Administration are authorized to borrow from the Treasury 

to finance capital projects. Treasury, in turn, finances these 

loans by selling Treasury securities to the public.

INTRODUCTION: Public Debt Operations 

Chapter 31 of Title 31 of the United States Code allows 

the Secretary of Treasury to borrow money by issuing 

Treasury securities. The Secretary determines the terms and 

conditions of issue, conversion, maturity, payment, and 

interest rate. New issues of Treasury notes mature in 2 to 10 

years. Bonds mature in more than 10 years from the issue 

date. Each outstanding marketable security is listed in the 

“Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United States.” 

The information in this section of the “Treasury Bulletin” 

pertains only to marketable Treasury securities. 

Table PDO-1 presents the results of weekly auctions of 4-, 

13-, and 26-week bills. Treasury bills mature each Thursday. 

Issues of 4- and 13-week bills are reopenings of 26-week 

bills. High yields on accepted tenders and the dollar value of 

total bids are presented, with the dollar value of awards made 

on both competitive and noncompetitive bases. 

To encourage the participation of individuals and smaller 

institutions, Treasury accepts noncompetitive tenders of up to 

$5 million for bills and $5 million for notes and bonds in each 

auction of securities. 

Table PDO-2 lists the results of auctions of marketable 

securities, other than weekly bills, in chronological order over 

the past 2 years. Issues of cash management bills also are 

presented. 

Note: Cash management bills identified below are issued 

as part of the Supplementary Financing Program (SFP). For 

more details about the SFP, visit www.treasury.gov/ 

press/releases/hp1144.htm or call 202-622-2960. 

Note: On February 4, 2009, Treasury announced the 

reintroduction of the 7-year note. The first auction of this 

security took place on February 26, 2009.

J A N U A R Y 

52-Week Bills 

On January 3, 2013, Treasury announced it would auction 

$25,000 million of 364-day Treasury bills. They were issued 

January 10, and will mature January 9, 2014. The issue was to 

refund $123,996 million of all maturing bills and to raise new 

cash of approximately $1,004 million. Treasury auctioned the 

bills on January 8. Tenders totaled $118,033 million; Treasury 

accepted $25,000 million. That included $157 million of 

noncompetitive tenders from the public. The high bank 

discount rate was 0.140 percent. 

Auction of 3-Year Notes 

On January 3, 2013, Treasury announced it would auction 

$32,000 million of 3-year notes. The issue was to refund 

$41,552 million of securities maturing January 15 and to raise 

new cash of approximately $24,448 million. 

The 3-year notes of Series AG-2016 were dated and issued 

January 15. They are due January 15, 2016, with interest 

payable on July 15 and January 15 until maturity. Treasury set 

an interest rate of 0-3/8 percent after determining which 

tenders were accepted on a yield auction basis. 

Treasury received tenders for the notes before 12:00 noon 

eastern time (e.t.) for noncompetitive tenders and before 1:00 

p.m. e.t. for competitive tenders on January 8. Tenders totaled 

$115,945 million; Treasury accepted $32,000 million. All 

noncompetitive and successful competitive bidders were 

allotted securities at the high yield of 0.385 percent with an 

equivalent price of $99.970201. Treasury accepted in full all 

competitive tenders at yields lower than 0.385 percent. 

Tenders at the high yield were allotted 5.51 percent. The 

median yield was 0.370 percent, and the low yield was 0.300 

percent. Noncompetitive tenders totaled $30 million. 

Competitive tenders accepted from private investors totaled 

$31,870 million. The minimum par amount required for 

Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal 

Securities (STRIPS) of notes of Series AG-2016 is $100.

INTRODUCTION: Ownership of Federal Securities 

Federal securities presented in the following tables are 

public debt securities such as savings bonds, bills, notes, and 

bonds that the Treasury issues. The tables also detail debt 

issued by other Federal agencies under special financing 

authorities. [See the Federal debt (FD) tables for a more 

complete description of the Federal debt.] 

Effective January 1, 2001, Treasury’s Bureau of the 

Public Debt revised formats, titles, and column headings in 

the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United 

States,” Table I: Summary of Treasury Securities 

Outstanding and Table II: Statutory Debt Limit. These 

changes should reduce confusion and bring the publication 

more in line with the public’s use of terms. 

Treasury’s Financial Management Service (FMS) 

compiles data in the “Treasury Bulletin” table OFS-1 from 

the “Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United 

States.” Effective June 2001, FMS revised procedures and 

categories in this table to agree with the Bureau of the Public 

Debt’s publication changes. 

 Table OFS-1 presents Treasury marketable and 

nonmarketable securities and debt issued by other Federal 

agencies held by Government accounts, the FRBs, and 

private investors. Social Security and Federal retirement 

trust fund investments comprise much of the Government 

account holdings. 

The FRBs acquire Treasury securities in the market as a 

means of executing monetary policy. 

 Table OFS-2 presents the estimated ownership of 

U.S. Treasury securities. Information is primarily obtained 

from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors Flow of Funds 

data, Table L209. State, local, and foreign holdings include 

special issues of nonmarketable securities to municipal 

entities and foreign official accounts. They also include 

municipal, foreign official, and private holdings of 

marketable Treasury securities. (See footnotes to the table 

for description of investor categories.)

INTRODUCTION: U.S. Currency and Coin Outstanding and in Circulation 

The U.S. Currency and Coin Outstanding and in 

Circulation (USCC) statement informs the public of the total 

face value of currency and coin used as a medium of 

exchange that is in circulation at the end of a given 

accounting month. The statement defines the total amount of 

currency and coin outstanding and the portion deemed to be 

in circulation. It includes some old and current rare issues 

that do not circulate or that may do so to a limited extent. 

Treasury includes them in the statement because the issues 

were originally intended for general circulation. 

The USCC statement provides a description of the 

various issues of paper money. It also gives an estimated 

average of currency and coin held by each individual, using 

estimates of population from the Bureau of the Census. 

USCC information has been published by Treasury since 

1888, and was published separately until 1983, when it was 

incorporated into the “Treasury Bulletin.” The USCC comes 

from monthly reports compiled by Treasury offices, U.S. 

Mint offices, the Federal Reserve banks (FRBs), and the 

Federal Reserve Board.

 Beginning July 1974, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) adopted a technique for 

valuing the special drawing right (SDR) based on a weighted average of exchange rates for 

the currencies of selected member countries. The U.S. SDR holdings and reserve position 

in the IMF also are valued on this basis beginning July 1974. 

2

 Treasury values its gold stock at $42.2222 per fine troy ounce and pursuant to 31 United 

States Code 5117 (b) issues gold certificates to the Federal Reserve at the same rate 

against all gold held. 

3

 Includes allocations of SDRs in the Special Drawing Account in the IMF, plus or minus 

transactions in SDRs. Recent allocations are as follows: August 2009—$43,069 million and 

September 2009—$4,529 million. 

4

 Includes holdings of Treasury and Federal Reserve System; consistent with the Quarterly 

Report on Treasury and Federal Reserve Foreign Exchange Operations, foreign currency 

dominated assets are shown not at market value but rather at amortized cost revalued at 

current foreign currency market exchange rates in order to report these assets in U.S. 

dollars. Excludes outstanding reciprocal currency swaps with foreign central banks. As of 

end-March 2013, swaps outstanding were $8.06 billion with the European Central Bank. 

5

 The United States has the right to purchase foreign currencies equivalent to its reserve 

position in the IMF automatically if needed. Under appropriate conditions, the United States 

could purchase additional amounts related to the U.S. quota. 

6

 IMF data include the reserve tranche position and, as of May 2011, New Arrangements to 

Borrow.

INTRODUCTION: Capital Movements 

Background 

Data relating to U.S. international transactions in 

financial instruments and to other portfolio capital 

movements between the United States and foreign countries 

have been collected in some form since 1935. This 

information is necessary for compiling the U.S. balance of 

payments accounts, for calculating the U.S. international 

investment position, and for use in formulating U.S. 

international financial and monetary policies. 

From the beginning, reporting under the Treasury data 

collection program has been mandatory. Under the current 

Treasury International Capital (TIC) reporting system, an 

assortment of monthly and quarterly reports are filed with 

district Federal Reserve banks by commercial banks, 

securities dealers, other financial institutions, and 

nonbanking enterprises in the United States. These data are 

centrally processed and maintained at the Federal Reserve 

Bank of New York, which, along with the district banks, acts 

as fiscal agent for Treasury. Beginning in late 1998, the 

Federal Reserve Board also undertakes services on behalf of 

Treasury in support of the TIC data collection system. The 

TIC reports of individual respondents are treated as 

confidential, and access to the respondent level data is 

strictly limited to specific staff of Treasury and the Federal 

Reserve System. 

Data derived from Treasury reports are published in the 

Capital Movements section of this quarterly Treasury Bulletin 

and are posted monthly on the TIC website, 

http://www.ustreas.gov/tic. (See NOTE at the end of the 

INTRODUCTION text for additional website information.) 

TIC data aggregates are also published in the Federal Reserve 

Bulletin and are used in the U.S. international transactions and 

investment position compilations published by the 

Department of Commerce in the Survey of Current Business.

Forms and instructions are developed with the 

cooperation of other Government agencies and the Federal 

Reserve System and in consultation with representatives of 

banks, securities firms, and nonbanking enterprises. 

Requests for public comments on proposed changes are 

published in the Federal Register, and any further 

modifications are based on the comments received. The most 

recent revisions to selected reporting forms and instructions 

were effective June 30, 2006. The reporting forms and 

instructions may be downloaded from the TIC website. 

Copies of the reporting forms and instructions also may be 

obtained from the Global Economics Group, Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for International Affairs, Treasury, 

Washington, D.C. 20220; the International Finance Division, 

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 

Washington, D.C. 20551; or district Federal Reserve banks. 

Basic definitions 

The term “foreigner” as used in TIC reporting covers all 

institutions and individuals resident outside the United 

States, including: U.S. citizens domiciled abroad; the foreign 

branches, subsidiaries and offices of U.S. banks and business 

concerns; the central governments, central banks, and other 

official institutions of foreign countries, wherever located; 

and international and regional organizations, wherever 

located. The term “foreigner” also includes persons in the 

United States to the extent that they are known by reporting 

institutions to be acting on behalf of foreigners.

In general, information is reported opposite the country or 

geographical area where the foreigner is located, as shown on 

records of reporting institutions. This information may not 

always reflect the ultimate ownership of assets. Reporting 

institutions are not required to go beyond addresses shown on 

their records and may not be aware of the actual country of 

domicile of the ultimate beneficiary. 

Transactions with branches or agencies of foreign official 

institutions, wherever located, are reported opposite the 

country that has sovereignty over the institutions. Transactions 

with international and regional organizations are not reported 

opposite any single country, but are accounted for in regional 

groupings of such organizations. Effective beginning with 

data for June 2006, information pertaining to the Bank for 

International Settlements is now included with data for 

international organizations, and information for the European 

Central Bank is distributed across the individual euro-area 

countries. For prior dates, information for these organizations 

is included in “Other Europe.” 

“Short-term” refers to obligations payable on demand or 

having an original maturity of one year or less. “Long-term” 

refers to obligations having an original maturity of more 

than one year and includes securities having no maturity. 

Reporting coverage 

TIC reports are required from banks and other depository 

institutions, bank/financial holding companies (BHCs/FHCs), 

securities brokers and dealers, and nonbanking concerns in 

the United States, including the branches, agencies, 

subsidiaries, and other affiliates in the United States of 

foreign banking and nonbanking firms. Institutions with total 

reportable liabilities, claims, or securities transactions below 

specified reporting thresholds are exempt from reporting. 

Beginning in February 2003, substantial revisions to the 

coverage and formats of the TIC B-series and C-series forms 

were introduced. The reasons for the changes were to 

comply with new and expanded international standards for 

reporting data on portfolio investment; to reduce reporting 

burden; to clarify reporting concepts and instructions; and to 

improve the quality of the series by closing known gaps in 

the data.

Banks, other depository institutions, and securities brokers 

and dealers file monthly B-series reports covering their dollar 

liabilities to and dollar claims on foreigners in a number of 

countries. Quarterly reports are filed for liabilities and claims 

denominated in foreign currencies and for claims on 

foreigners held for respondents’ domestic customers. All 

positions are exclusive of long-term securities. Beginning 

January 2001, the exemption level applicable to the banking 

reports was raised from $15 million to $50 million. This 

exemption level is also subject to the provision that reportable 

amounts for any one country do not exceed $25 million. 

Banks and other depository institutions, securities 

brokers and dealers, and other entities report their 

transactions with foreigners by country in long-term 

securities on monthly Form S. Respondents must report 

securities transactions with foreigners if their aggregate 

purchases or their aggregate sales amount to at least $50 

million during the covered month. 

TIC Form D is filed quarterly by all U.S. resident banks, 

securities dealers, and other firms with worldwide holding of 

derivatives in their own and in their customers’ accounts 

exceeding $100 billion in notional value. Data from this 

information collection was first released on May 15, 2007, 

with data on holdings beginning from end-December 2005, 

and data on net settlements beginning from the first quarter 

of 2006. 

Quarterly reports are also filed by exporters, importers, 

industrial and commercial concerns, financial institutions 

(other than banks, other depository institutions, and 

securities firms), and other nonbanking enterprises on their 

liabilities and claims positions with unaffiliated foreigners. 

Separate reports are filed for financial balances and for 

commercial balances. Effective for reports filed as of March 

31, 2003, the threshold applicable to Form CQ-1 for 

reporting financial liabilities to, and claims on, foreigners is 

$50 million, up from $10 million. At the same time, the 

reporting threshold for Form CQ-2, which covers 

commercial liabilities and claims positions with foreigners, 

was raised from $10 million to $25 million. 

Effective with the reports filed for June 2006, the country 

coverage of the monthly TIC forms was expanded 

significantly and the semiannual reports, which covered the 

smaller market economies, were discontinued. Country 

coverage was also expanded for the quarterly banking forms, 

the Form S, the Form D, and the Forms CQ-1 and CQ-2, 

effective with reports filed for June 2006. 

The data in these tables do not cover all types of reported 

capital movements between the United States and other 

countries. Except as noted in Section IV in “Description of 

statistics” below, the principal exclusions are the 

intercompany capital transactions of nonbanking business 

enterprises in the United States with their own branches and 

subsidiaries abroad or with their foreign parent companies 

(own foreign offices) and capital transactions of the U.S. 

Government. Consolidated data on all types of international 

capital transactions are published by the Department of 

Commerce in its regular reports on the U.S. balance of 

payments. 

Effective with the December 2009 Treasury Bulletin, a 

number of data reporters were reclassified in the TIC system 

as bank holding companies, beginning with the reports as of 

the fourth quarter of 2008. These data reporters are now 

included in the monthly bank-reported statistics and are no 

longer reporting as nonbanks. 

Description of statistics 

Data collected on the TIC forms are published in the 

“Capital Movements” tables in four sections. Each section 

contains all the data relevant to the same statistical series, 

with tables showing time series by type and country, and 

detailed breakdowns of the latest available data. The 

expansion of the country coverage on the standard report 

forms allows for publication of additional country detail for 

data beginning as of June 2006. As a result, the former 

Capital Movements Section III, which listed bank-reported 

claims and liabilities of selected countries from the 

semiannual reports, has been discontinued. 

 Section I covers liabilities to foreigners reported by 

banks, other depository institutions, and securities brokers 

and dealers in the United States. BHCs/FHCs also report for 

all domestic nonbank, non-securities firm affiliates, other 

than their insurance affiliates, which report separately on the 

C-series forms. Dollar-denominated liabilities are reported 

monthly on Forms BL-1 and BL-2. Liabilities denominated 

in foreign currencies are reported quarterly on Form BQ-2. 

Respondents report certain of their own liabilities and a wide 

range of their custody liabilities to foreigners. Effective with 

reports filed as of February 28, 2003, coverage was 

broadened to cover the positions of U.S. broker-dealer 

respondents with their affiliated foreign offices. (Depository 

institutions and BHCs/FHCs already reported such 

positions.) The scope of the reports was also extended to 

include cross-border brokerage balances as well as offshore 

sweep accounts and loans to U.S. residents in “managed” 

foreign offices of U.S. reporting institutions. Additionally, in 

a new Part 2, Form BQ-2 was expanded to include the 

foreign currency-denominated liabilities held by respondents 

for their domestic customers. Further, banks’ own positions 

have been defined to be consistent with regulatory reports 

such as the FR 2950/2951 to include all amounts in the 

respondent’s “due to/due from” accounts, unless in an 

instrument that is specifically excluded. Finally, the columns 

for demand deposits and non-transactions accounts are now 

combined, as are short-term U.S. agency securities and other 

negotiable and readily transferable instruments. 

 Section II presents claims on foreigners reported 

by banks, other depository institutions, and securities 

brokers and dealers in the United States. BHCs/FHCs also 

report for their domestic nonbank and non-securities firm 

affiliates, other than their insurance affiliates, which report 
CAPITAL MOVEMENTS 

June 2013 

50 

separately on the C-series forms. Data on respondents’ own 

dollar claims are collected monthly on Form BC. 

Information on claims held for domestic customers as well 

as on claims denominated in foreign currencies is collected 

on a quarterly basis only on Forms BQ-1 and BQ-2, 

respectively. Effective with reports filed as of February 28, 

2003, reporting coverage was expanded as outlined in 

Section I. Additionally, columns were added for separate 

reporting of negotiable CDs and other short-term negotiable 

instruments issued by foreigners. Further, the foreigner 

category, “foreign official institutions,” replaced the former, 

broader category, “foreign public borrowers,” for 

consistency with the liabilities reporting on this sector. 

 Section III (formerly reported as Section IV) 

shows the liabilities to, and claims on, unaffiliated foreigners 

of exporters, importers, industrial and commercial concerns, 

financial institutions (other than banks, other depository 

institutions, and securities brokers and dealers), and other 

nonbanking enterprises in the United States. Data exclude 

claims on foreigners held by banks in the United States. 

Historically, the TIC reports CQ-1 and CQ-2 exclude 

accounts of nonbanking enterprises in the United States with 

their own branches and subsidiaries abroad or with their 

foreign parent companies. Such accounts with foreign 

affiliates are reported by business enterprises to Commerce 

on its direct investment forms. There was an exception when 

reporting of foreign affiliate positions of insurance 

underwriting subsidiaries and financial intermediaries was 

included in Section B of Form CQ-1 for reports between 

end-March 2003 and end-March 2006. That reporting 

requirement was discontinued with the reports beginning as 

of June 2006. 

 Section IV (formerly Section V) contains 

information on transactions with foreigners in long-term 

domestic and foreign securities as reported by banks, 

securities brokers and dealers, and other entities in the 

United States. The data cover transactions executed in the 

United States for the accounts of foreigners and transactions 

executed abroad for the accounts of reporting institutions 

and their domestic customers. This includes transactions in 

newly-issued securities as well as transactions in, and 

redemptions of, outstanding issues. However, the data do not 

include nonmarketable Treasury bonds and notes shown in 

Table IFS-3. 

The geographical allocation of the transactions data 

indicates the country of location of the foreign buyers and 

sellers who deal directly with reporting institutions in the 

United States. The data do not necessarily indicate the 

country of beneficial owner or issuer, or the currency of 

denomination of securities. For instance, a U.S. purchaser’s 

order for Japanese securities may be placed directly with an 

intermediary in London. In this instance, the transaction for 

Form S reporting purposes would be recorded opposite the 

United Kingdom and not opposite Japan. Similarly, 

purchases and sales of U.S. securities for the account of an 

Italian resident may be placed, for example, in the Swiss 

market. In that case, the trades would be reported opposite 

Switzerland and not opposite Italy. 

 Section V presents quarterly data on holdings and 

net cash settlements of cross-border derivatives contracts 

reported by banks, securities brokers, dealers, and 

nonfinancial companies in the U.S. with sizable holdings of 

derivatives contracts. Total holdings are divided between 

those contracts with positive fair values and those contracts 

with negative fair values from the perspective of the 

reporter. The fair (market) value is generally defined as the 

amount for which a derivative contract could be exchanged 

in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in 

a forced or liquidation sale. 

The data on U.S. net settlements with foreign residents 

include all cash receipts and payments made during the 

quarter for the acquisition, sale, or final closeout of 

derivatives, including all settlement payments under the 

terms of derivatives contracts such as the periodic settlement 

under a swap agreement and the daily settlement of an 

exchange-traded contract. In calculating net settlements, 

U.S. receipts of cash from foreign persons are positive 

amounts (+), and U.S. payments of cash to foreign persons 

are negative amounts (-). Items excluded from net 

settlements are: (a) collateral including initial and 

maintenance margins, whether or not in the form of cash; 

and (b) purchases of underlying commodities, securities, or 

other noncash assets. (e.g., the purchase/sale by foreigners of 

a long-term security is reported on TIC Form S). 

The gross fair (market) values and net settlement 

payments on derivatives are reported by type of derivative 

and by country based on the residence of the direct foreign 

counterparty. Positions of foreign customers on U.S. 

exchanges are reported opposite the country in which the 

foreign counterparty resides. In the case of U.S. residents’ 

futures contracts on foreign exchanges, the country of the 

exchange is reported as the country of the foreign 

counterparty. 

NOTE: Current and historical data on United States 

transactions with foreigners in long-term securities on the 

gross foreign liabilities and claims reported by banks and 

nonbanks in the United States and on derivatives contracts 

with foreigners are available on the TIC website: 

http://www.ustreas.gov/tic. These data may be downloaded 

as separate time series for each country or geographical area 

regularly shown in the capital movements tables. Also 

available on this website are other series, including a table 

on “Major Foreign Holders of Treasury Securities,” showing 

estimated total holdings of U.S. Treasury bills, bonds and 

notes for current and recent periods. All data series on the 

TIC website are updated monthly.

U.S. liabilities to foreigners reported by U.S. banks were recorded at $4.7 trillion in March 2013, an 

increase of $190 billion from yearend 2012. U.S. banking liabilities include foreign holdings of U.S. shortterm securities but exclude foreign holdings of U.S. long-term securities. U.S. banking liabilities increased 

about $131 billion in 2010 and $304 billion in 2011. However, they decreased $393 billion in 2012. 

U.S. banking liabilities are concentrated in international financial centers. The data on this page show that 

about 55 percent of U.S. banking liabilities is currently recorded against the United Kingdom and banking 

centers in the Caribbean. Overall, banking liabilities rebounded in 2010 and 2011 from earlier declines, with 

the exception of Caribbean banking centers. In 2012, liabilities to Caribbean banking centers continued to fall 

and liabilities to other international financial centers and Japan turned down. However, liabilities to “all other 

countries” have continued to grow at a steady pace in the post crisis years. In the first quarter of 2013, 

liabilities to most regions increased, especially those to the Caribbean banking centers, the United Kingdom, 

and “all other Asia”.

In December 2012, U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks amounted to $3.9 trillion, a decrease of 

$406 billion from that recorded at yearend 2011. U.S. banking claims include holdings of foreign short-term 

securities but exclude holdings of foreign long-term securities. U.S. banking claims increased $257 billion in 

2009 and $554 billion in 2010. However, they decreased $267 billion in 2011. 

As with U.S. banking liabilities, U.S. banking claims on foreigners are concentrated in international financial 

centers. Nearly 60 percent of these claims are reported opposite the United Kingdom and banking centers in the 

Caribbean. In the post crisis years, there has been a steady fall in claims on Caribbean banking centers, the United 

Kingdom, and all other Europe. In contrast, claims on Asia have consistently risen since 2008. Although the 

lion’s share of banking claims against the U.S. is held by the international financial centers, this share has fallen 

while Asia’s share has grown from under 5 percent in 2008 to over 15 percent in 2012.

The data on this page represent foreign investors’ purchases and sales of long-term U.S. securities (that is, U.S. Treasury and

Government agency bonds and notes, and U.S. corporate bonds and stocks) as reported in the TIC reporting system. Foreign investors 

have also acquired U.S. equities through mergers and reincorporations that involve stock swaps, but these acquisitions have been 

relatively small in recent years. Stock swap acquisitions were less than $1 billion in 2009, picked up to over $8 billion in 2010, but 

again slowed during 2011 to $1.3 billion. Stock swaps rose in 2012 to $2.8 billion. For 2013 Q1, stock swap acquisitions were zero 

(stock swaps data for the most recent quarter are Federal Reserve Board/Treasury estimates and are subject to substantial revisions.) 

These stock swaps are not reported under the TIC reporting system, but are available on the TIC Website. The TIC Website also 

provides estimates from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on principal repayment flows of foreign holdings of U.S. 

government agency and corporate asset-backed securities (ABS). These repayments are estimated to have reduced foreign net 

purchases of U.S. securities by $204 billion in 2009, $231 billion in 2010, $164 billion in 2011, $226 billion in 2012, and $60 billion 

in the first quarter of 2013. 

After including stock swaps and accounting for ABS repayment flows, net foreign purchases totaled $434 billion in 2009. The 

pace of acquisition picked up in 2010, when foreign net purchases were recorded at $668 billion. The pace of acquisitions slowed 

considerably in both 2011 and again in 2012, with net foreign purchases recorded at $328 billion in 2011 and $396 billion in 2012. 

Foreign net purchases were only $16 billion in the first quarter of 2013.

The data on this page represent U.S. investors’ purchases and sales of long-term foreign securities as reported to 

the TIC reporting system. U.S. investors also have acquired foreign stocks through mergers that involve stock 

swaps. Net acquisitions through stock swaps amounted to $7 billion in 2008, $2 billion in 2009, $12 billion in 2010, 

$10 billion in 2011, $15 billion in 2012, and $0.3 billion in the first quarter of 2013. (Stock swaps data for the most 

recent quarter are Federal Reserve Board/Treasury estimates and are subject to substantial revisions.) These stock 

swaps are not reported under the TIC reporting system, but are available on the TIC Website. 

Including acquisitions through stock swaps, U.S. net sales of long-term foreign securities amounted to $67

INTRODUCTION: Foreign Currency Positions

The “Treasury Bulletin” reports foreign currency 

holdings of large foreign exchange market participants. 

These reports provide information on positions in derivative 

instruments, such as foreign exchange futures and options 

that are increasingly used in establishing foreign exchange 

positions but were not covered in the old reports. 

The information is based on reports of large foreign 

exchange market participants on holdings of five major 

foreign currencies (Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Swiss 

franc, pound sterling, and euro) and the U.S. dollar. 

Positions in the U.S. dollar, which have been collected since 

January 1999, are intended to approximate “all other” 

currency positions of reporting institutions. U.S.-based 

businesses file a consolidated report for their domestic and 

foreign subsidiaries, branches, and agencies. U.S. 

subsidiaries of foreign entities file only for themselves, not 

for their foreign parents. Filing is required by law (31 United 

States Code 5315; 31 Code of Federal Regulations 128, 

Subpart C). 

Weekly and monthly reports must be filed throughout the 

calendar year by major foreign exchange market 

participants, which are defined as market participants with 

more than $50 billion equivalent in foreign exchange 

contracts on the last business day of any calendar quarter 

during the previous year (end March, June, September, or 

December). Such contracts include the amounts of foreign 

exchange spot contracts bought and sold, foreign exchange 

forward contracts bought and sold, foreign exchange futures 

bought and sold, and one half the notional amount of foreign 

exchange options bought and sold. 

A quarterly report must be filed throughout the calendar 

year by each foreign exchange market participant that had 

more than $5 billion equivalent in foreign exchange 

contracts on the last business day of any quarter the previous 

year (end March, June, September, or December). 

This information is published in six sections 

corresponding to each of the major currencies covered by the 

reports. Tables I-1 through VI-1 present the currency data 

reported weekly by major market participants. Tables I-2 

through VI-2 present more detailed currency data of major 

market participants, based on monthly reports. Tables I-3 

through VI-3 present quarterly consolidated currency data 

reported by large market participants that do not file weekly 

reports. The information in the tables referenced above is 

based on the reports referenced in this Introduction: Foreign 

Currency Positions and is not audited by the Federal Reserve 

banks or the Treasury Department. 

Principal exchanged under cross-currency interest rate 

swaps is reported as part of purchases or sales of foreign 

exchange. Such principal also was noted separately on 

monthly and quarterly reports through December 1998, 

when this practice was discontinued. The net options 

position, or the net delta-equivalent value of an options 

position, is an estimate of the relationship between an 

option’s value and an equivalent currency hedge. The delta 

equivalent value is defined as the product of the first partial 

derivative of an option valuation formula (with respect to the 

price of the underlying currency) multiplied by the notional 

principal of the contract.

INTRODUCTION: Exchange Stabilization Fund

To stabilize the exchange value of the dollar, the 

Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was established pursuant 

to chapter 6, section 10 of the Gold Reserve Act of January 

30, 1934 (codified at 31 United States Code 5302), which 

authorized establishment of a Treasury fund to be operated 

under the exclusive control of the Secretary, with approval 

of the President. 

Subsequent amendment of the Gold Reserve Act 

modified the original purpose somewhat to reflect 

termination of the fixed exchange rate system. 

Resources of the fund include dollar balances, partially 

invested in U.S. Government securities, special drawing

rights (SDRs), and balances of foreign currencies. Principal 

sources of income (+) or loss (-) for the fund are profits (+) 

or losses (-) on SDRs and foreign exchange, as well as 

interest earned on assets. 

 Table ESF-1 presents the assets, liabilities, and 

capital of the fund. The figures are in U.S. dollars or their 

equivalents based on current exchange rates computed 

according to the accrual method of accounting. The capital 

account represents the original capital appropriated to the fund 

by Congress of $2 billion, minus a subsequent transfer of $1.8 

billion to pay for the initial U.S. quota subscription to the 

International Monetary Fund. Gains and losses are reflected in 

the cumulative net income (+) or loss (-) account. 

 Table ESF-2 shows the results of operations by 

quarter. Figures are in U.S. dollars or their equivalents 

computed according to the accrual method. “Profit (+) or 

loss (-) on foreign exchange” includes realized profits or 

losses. “Adjustment for change in valuation of SDR holdings 

and allocations” reflects net gain or loss on revaluation of 

SDR holdings and allocations for the quarter.

 Beginning July 1974, the International Monetary Fund adopted a technique for valuing the 

SDRs based on a weighted average of exchange rates for the currencies of selected 

member countries. The U.S. SDR holdings and allocations are valued on this basis 

beginning July 1974. 

Note. — Annual balance sheets for fiscal years 1934 through 1940 appeared in the 1940 

“Annual Report of the Secretary of the Treasury” and those for succeeding years 

appeared in subsequent reports through 1980. Quarterly balance sheets beginning with 

December 31, 1938, have been published in the “Treasury Bulletin.” Data from inception 

to September 30, 1978, may be found on the statements published in the January 1979

INTRODUCTION: Airport and Airway Trust Fund 

The Airport and Airway Trust Fund was established on 

the books of Treasury in fiscal year 1971, according to 

provisions of the Airport and Airway Revenue Act of 1970 

[49 United States Code 1742(a), repealed]. The Tax Equity 

and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (Public Law 97-248, 

dated September 3, 1982) reestablished the trust fund in the 

Internal Revenue Code (26 United States Code 9502) 

effective September 1, 1982. 

Treasury transfers from the general fund to the trust 

fund amounts equivalent to the taxes received from 

transportation of persons and property by air, gasoline and 

jet fuel used in commercial and noncommercial aircraft, 

and an international arrival and departure tax. The Omnibus 

Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508, 

dated November 5, 1990) increased rates for the excise 

taxes transferred to the fund. 

Treasury bases these transfers on estimates made by the 

Secretary of the Treasury. These are subject to adjustments 

in later transfers in the amount of actual tax receipts. 

The FAA Modernization and Reform Act 2012 (Public 

Law 112-095), effective February 14, 2012, extended the 

aviation excise taxes until September 30, 2015. The Act 

included provisions that: 

 Retained the existing passenger ticket, flight 

segment, and freight waybill taxes. The flight segment tax 

is indexed to the Consumer Price Index; effective calendar 

year 2012, the tax is $3.90. It also retained a special rule 

applied to flights between the continental United States and 

Alaska or Hawaii. This departure tax is indexed to the 

Consumer Price Index; effective calendar year 2012, the tax 

is $8.60. 

 Retained the existing international and departure 

per passenger tax. The tax is indexed to the Consumer Price 

Index; effective calendar year 2012, the tax is $17.20. 

 Retained the existing tax on payments to airlines 

for frequent flyer and similar awards by banks and credit 

card companies, merchants and frequent flyer program 

partners, such as other airlines, hotels and rental car 

companies, and other businesses. 

 Retained the commercial aviation fuel tax and the 

general aviation jet fuel/gas taxes. 

 Imposed a new surtax on fuel used in aircraft that is 

part of a fractional ownership program; the surtax applies to 

fuel used after March 31, 2012. It also changed the 

classification of transportation as part of a fractional 

ownership program from commercial aviation to 

noncommercial aviation. 

 Repealed the excise tax exemption for 

transportation by small aircraft operating on nonestablished 

lines. (IRS defines the term “operated on an established 

line” to mean operated with some degree of regularity 

between definite points). 

When the provisions of 26 United States Code 9602(b) 

are met, amounts available in the trust fund exceed outlay 

requirements, Treasury invests excess amounts in public 

debt securities and credits the interest to the fund. 

Additional sums from the general fund also are credited as 

authorized and made available, by law, if they are needed to 

meet outlay requirements. 

Treasury makes available to the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation 

(DOT), amounts required for outlays to carry out the 

Airport and Airway program. The Secretary of the Treasury 

makes other charges to the trust fund to transfer certain 

refunds of taxes and certain outfits, under section 34 of the 

Internal Revenue Code (IRC). 

Annual reports to Congress, required by 26 U.S.C. 9602 

(a), are submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury, after 

consultation with the Secretary of Transportation. These 

reports are required to cover the financial condition and 

results of operations of the trust fund during the past fiscal 

year and those expected during the next 5 fiscal years.

INTRODUCTION: Uranium Enrichment 

Decontamination and Decommissioning (D&D) Fund 

The Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and 

Decommissioning Fund was established on the books of the 

Treasury in fiscal year 1993, according to provisions of the 

Energy Policy Act of 1992 (42 United States Code 2297g). 

Receipts represent (1) fees collected from domestic public 

utilities based on their pro rata share of purchases of 

separative work units from the Department of Energy (DOE) 

and (2) appropriations toward the Government contribution 

based on the balance of separative work unit purchases. 

Expenditures from the fund are for the purpose of (1) 

decontamination and decommissioning of the three gaseous 

diffusion plants, (2) remedial actions and related 

environmental restoration costs at the gaseous diffusion 

plants, and (3) reimbursement to uranium/thorium producers 

for the costs of decontamination, decommissioning, 

reclamation, and remedial action of uranium/thorium sites 

that are incident to sales to the U.S. Government. 

Amounts available in the fund exceeding current needs 

may be invested by the Secretary of the Treasury in 

obligations of the United States (1) having maturities 

congruent with the needs of the fund and (2) bearing interest 

at rates determined appropriate, taking into consideration the 

current average market yield on outstanding marketable 

obligations of the United States with remaining periods to 

maturity comparable to these investments. 

The Secretary of the Treasury is required by 42 United 

States Code 2297g(b)(1) to provide an annual report to 

Congress, after consultation with the Secretary of Energy. 

This report must present the financial condition and the 

results of operations of the fund during the preceding fiscal 

year. 

The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (42 United States Code 

2297g-1, as amended) authorizes funding to ensure annual 

deposits to the fund of $518.2 million before adjustments for 

inflation. The Act stipulates that the Government deposit 

$369.6 million, adjusted for inflation, annually. The Act also 

calls for deposits of $150 million from domestic public 

utility assessments. The assessments were authorized for 15 

years with the final assessment scheduled for fiscal year 

2007. 

Between fiscal years 1993 and 2007, the total 

Government contribution amount authorized by the Act was 

$6,281.0 million. During that time span, the Government 

contributed only $5,362.4 million to the fund. The resulting 

shortfall in authorized Government contributions was, 

therefore, $918.6 million. 

The Government continued to make annual contributions 

to eliminate this shortfall. Through fiscal year 2009 

contributions, the overall shortfall (after adjustments for 

inflation) was $40.6 million. Also, during fiscal year 2009, 

the Government designated $390 million of American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding for the 

fund’s mission. The ARRA funding was not an actual 

deposit into the fund’s invested balances, but it provides a 

dollar for dollar reduction in the required outlays from the 

invested balances. The DOE recognizes the ARRA funding 

as an offset to the Government’s contribution shortfall, 

thereby satisfying the Government’s contribution responsibility.

INTRODUCTION: Black Lung Disability Trust Fund 

The Black Lung Disability Trust Fund was established on 

the books of the Treasury in fiscal year 1978 according to the 

Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-

227). The Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1981 (Public 

Law 97-119) reestablished the fund in the Internal Revenue 

Code (IRC), 26 United States Code 9501. 

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 

1985 (Public Law 99-272), enacted April 7, 1986, provided 

for an increase in the coal tax rates effective April 1, 1986, 

through December 31, 1995, and a 5-year forgiveness of 

interest retroactive to October 1, 1985. The 5-year moratorium 

on interest payments ended on September 30, 1990. Payment 

of interest on advances resumed in fiscal year 1991. The 

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (Public Law 

100-203, title X, section 10503), signed December 22, 1987, 

extended the temporary increase in the coal tax through 

December 31, 2013. 

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 

(Public Law 110-343, title I, subtitle B, section 113), enacted 

October 3, 2008, restructured the Trust Fund Debt by 1) 

refinancing the outstanding principal of the repayable 

advances and unpaid interest on such advances and 2) 

providing a one time Appropriation to the Trust Fund in an 

amount sufficient to pay to the general fund of the Treasury 

the difference between the market value of the outstanding 

repayable advances, plus accrued interest and the proceeds 

from the obligations issued by the Trust Fund to the 

Secretary of the Treasury. The Act also extends the 

temporary increase in the coal tax through December 31, 

2018, and allows the prepayment of the Trust Fund debt 

prior to the maturity date. 

The Code designates the following receipts to be 

appropriated and transferred from the general fund of the 

Treasury to the trust fund: excise taxes on coal sold; taxable 

expenditures of self-dealing by, and excess contributions to, 

private black lung benefit trusts; reimbursements by 

responsible mine operators; and related fines, penalties and 

interest charges. 

Estimates made by the Secretary of the Treasury 

determine monthly transfers of amounts for excise taxes to the 

trust fund subject to adjustments in later transfers to actual tax 

receipts. 

After retirement of the current indebtedness, amounts 

available in the fund exceeding current expenditure 

requirements will be invested by the Secretary of the Treasury 

in interest-bearing public debt securities. Any interest earned 

will be credited to the fund. Also credited, if necessary, will 

be repayable advances from the general fund to meet outlay 

requirements exceeding available revenues. 

To carry out the program, amounts are made available to 

the Department of Labor (DOL). Also charged to the fund are 

administrative expenses incurred by the Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS) and the Treasury, repayments of 

advances from the general fund and interest on advances. 

The Code requires the Secretary of the Treasury to submit 

an annual report to Congress after consultation with the 

Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of HHS [26 United 

States Code 9602(a)]. The report must present the financial 

condition and results of operations of the fund during the past 

fiscal year and the expected condition and operations of the 

fund during the next 5 fiscal years.

INTRODUCTION: Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund 

The Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund was established on 

the books of the Treasury on April 1, 1987, according to the 

Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-

662, November 17, 1986) (26 United States Code 9505). 

Amounts in the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund are 

available as provided by appropriation acts for making 

expenditures to carry out section 210(a) of the Water 

Resources Development Act of 1986. The appropriations act 

for the Department of Transportation (DOT) for fiscal year 

1995 (Public Law 103-331, September 28, 1994), section 

339, waived collection of charges or tolls on the Saint 

Lawrence Seaway in accordance with section 13(b) of the 

Act of May 13, 1954 (as in effect on April 1, 1987). 

Legislation was passed in the North American Free Trade 

Agreement Implementation Act (Public Law 103-182, 

section 683), which amends paragraph (3) of section 9505(c) 

of the IRC of 1986, to authorize payment of up to $5 million 

annually to Treasury for all expenses of administration 

incurred by the Treasury, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

and the Department of Commerce (Commerce) related to the 

administration of subchapter A of chapter 36 (relating to 

harbor maintenance tax). Section 201 of the Water 

Resources Development Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-303) 

authorizes use of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund for 

construction of dredged material disposal facilities 

associated with the operation and maintenance of Federal 

navigation projects for commercial navigation. 

A summary judgment issued October 25, 1995, by the 

United States Court of International Trade in the case United 

States Shoe Corp. v. United States (Court No. 94-11-00668) 

found the Harbor Maintenance fee unconstitutional under the 

Export Clause of the Constitution (Article I, section 9, clause 

5) and enjoined the Customs Service from collecting the fee. 

The decision was affirmed by the Supreme Court on 

March 31, 1998 (118 Supreme Court 1290). With the tax on 

exports no longer collected, revenues have been reduced by 

approximately 30 percent. 

The Code requires the Secretary of the Treasury to 

submit an annual report to Congress [26 United States Code 

9602(a)]. The report must present the financial condition and 

results of operations of the fund during the past fiscal year 

and the expected condition and operations of the fund during 

the next 5 fiscal years.

INTRODUCTION: Hazardous Substance Superfund 

The Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund was 

established on the books of the Treasury in fiscal year 1981, 

in accordance with section 221 of the Hazardous Substance 

Response Revenue Act of 1980 [42 United States Code 

9631(a), repealed]. The trust fund was renamed the 

Hazardous Substance Superfund (Superfund) and relocated 

in accordance with section 517 of the Superfund 

Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 [Public Law 

99-499, dated October 17, 1986 (26 United States Code 

9507)]. 

The authority to collect excise taxes on petroleum and 

chemicals, and an environmental tax for all corporations 

with modified alternative taxable income in excess of $2 

million, expired in 1995. To implement the Superfund 

program, amounts are appropriated from the Superfund to 

the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for 

programmatic and administrative expenses. 

An annual report to Congress by the Secretary of 

Treasury is required by 26 United States Code 9602(a). 

These reports present the financial condition of the 

Superfund and the results of operation for the past fiscal 

year, and its expected condition during the next 5 fiscal 

years.

INTRODUCTION: Highway Trust Fund 

The Highway Trust Fund was established on the books 

of the Treasury in fiscal year 1957, according to provisions 

of the Highway Revenue Act of 1956 (Act of June 29, 1956, 

chapter 462, section 209). It has been amended and extended 

by various highway surface transportation and other acts 

since 1959. Section 1110(d) of the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy For 

Users (SAFETEA-LU) (Public Law 109-59) extended the 

Highway Trust Fund to be available for making expenditures 

before September 30, 2009 (October 1, 2009, in the case of 

expenditures for administrative expenses). 

Amounts equivalent to taxes on gasoline, diesel fuel, 

special motor fuels, certain tires, heavy trucks and trailers, 

and heavy vehicle use are designated by the Act to be 

appropriated and transferred from the general fund of the 

Treasury to the trust fund. These transfers are made twice 

monthly based on estimates by the Secretary of the Treasury, 

subject to later adjustments to reflect the amount of actual 

tax receipts. Amounts available in the fund exceeding outlay 

requirements are invested in non-interest-bearing public debt 

securities. 

Within the fund is a mass transit account, funded by a 

portion of the excise tax collections under sections 4041 and 

4081 of the IRC (title 26 United States Code). The funds 

from this account are used for expenditures in accordance 

with chapter 53 of title 49 United States Code, the 

Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 

(Public Law 102-240), the Transportation Equity Act for the 

21st Century (TEA-21), and SAFETEA-LU. The remaining 

excise taxes are included in a separate account within the 

trust fund commonly referred to as the highway account. 

Expenditures from this account are made according to the 

provisions of various transportation acts. 

Amounts required for outlays to carry out the eligible 

surface transportation programs are made available to the 

responsible operating administrations within the Department 

of Transportation. Other charges to the trust fund are made 

by the Secretary of the Treasury for transfer of certain taxes 

to the Land and Water Conservation Fund and the Aquatic 

Resources Trust Fund. 

The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 

Secretary of Transportation, is required to submit annual 

reports to Congress by section 9602(a) of title 26 United 

States Code. These reports cover the financial condition and 

results of operations of the fund for the past fiscal year and 

expected condition and operations during the next 5 fiscal 

years. 

In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury is required by 

26 U.S.C. 9503(d)(7) to report to specified Congressional 

Committees any estimate which he, in consultation with the 

Secretary of Transportation, makes pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 

9503(d)(1) or any determination which he makes pursuant to 

26 U.S.C. 9503(d)(2). The Congressional Committees are 

the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of 

Representatives, the Committee on Finance of the Senate, 

the Committees on the Budget of both Houses, the 

Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the 

House of Representatives, and the Committee on 

Environment and Public Works of the Senate.

INTRODUCTION: Inland Waterways Trust Fund 

The Inland Waterways Trust Fund was established by the 

Treasury in fiscal year 1984, pursuant to section 203 of the 

Inland Waterways Revenue Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-

502) and continued pursuant to section 1405 of the Water 

Resources Development Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-662, 

codified at 26 United States Code 9506). Under 26 United 

States Code 9506(b), amounts from taxes on fuel used in 

commercial transportation on inland waterways, as 

determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, are 

appropriated to the trust fund. 

The Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988 

(Public Law 100-647, approved November 10, 1988) 

increased the tax each year, 1990 through 1995. These 

amounts are transferred quarterly from the general fund 

based on estimates made by the Secretary, subject to 

adjustments in later transfers to the amounts of actual tax 

receipts. 

The Secretary of the Treasury invests in interest-bearing 

obligations of the United States that portion of the trust fund, 

in his judgment, not required to meet current withdrawals. 

The interest on, and proceeds from, the sale or redemption of 

any obligation held in the trust fund is credited to the trust 

fund. The Inland Waterways Revenue Act of 1978 (Public 

Law 95-502) provides that amounts in the trust fund shall be 

available as provided, by appropriations acts, for 

construction and rehabilitation expenditures for navigation 

on the inland and intracoastal waterways of the United States 

described in 33 United States Code 1804. Expenditures must 

be otherwise authorized by law. 

Annual reports to Congress are required by 26 United 

States Code 9602(a) to be submitted by the Secretary of the 

Treasury. These reports are required to cover the financial 

condition and the results of operations of the fund during the 

past fiscal year and its expected condition and operations 

during the next 5 fiscal years.

INTRODUCTION: Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund 

The Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust 

Fund was established in fiscal year 1981 according to 

provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 

Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-510, 

codified at 26 United States Code 9508), as amended by the 

Superfund Amendments and Re-authorization Act of 1986 

(Public Law 99-499, dated October 17, 1986), sections 13163I 

and 13242(d)(42) of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act 

of 1993 (Public Law 103-66, dated August 10, 1993), and 

section 1032(e)(13) of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1987 

(Public Law 105-34, dated August 5, 1997). 

The LUST Trust Fund is financed by taxes collected on 

gasoline, diesel fuels, special motor fuels, aviation fuels and 

fuels used in commercial transportation on inland 

waterways. Amounts available in the LUST Trust Fund, 

exceeding current expenditure requirements, are invested by 

the Secretary of the Treasury in interest-bearing Government 

securities (e.g., Treasury bills). All interest earned is credited 

directly to the LUST Trust Fund. 

To carry out the LUST program, amounts are 

appropriated for the LUST Trust Fund to the EPA for 

programmatic and administrative expenses. 

An annual report to Congress by the Secretary of the 

Treasury is required by 26 United States Code 9602(a). 

These reports present the financial condition of the LUST 

Trust Fund and results of operations for the past fiscal year 

and its expected condition and operations during the next 5 

fiscal years.

INTRODUCTION: Nuclear Waste Fund 

The Nuclear Waste Fund was established on the books of 

the Treasury in fiscal year 1983, according to section 302 of 

the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 [Public Law 97-425, 

codified at 42 United States Code 10222I]. Receipts 

represent fees collected from public utilities based on 

electricity generated by nuclear power reactors and spent 

nuclear fuel. Expenditures from the fund are for purposes of 

radioactive waste disposal activities. 

Amounts available in the fund exceeding current needs 

may be invested by the Secretary of the Treasury in 

obligations of the United States (1) having maturities in 

tandem with the needs of the waste fund and (2) bearing 

interest at rates determined appropriate, taking into 

consideration the current average market yield on 

outstanding marketable obligations of the United States with 

remaining periods to maturity comparable to the maturities 

of such investments, except that the interest rate on such 

investments shall not exceed the average interest rate 

applicable to existing borrowings. 

An annual report to Congress by the Secretary of the 

Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of the 

Department of Energy (DOE), is required by 42 United 

States Code 10222(e)(1). This report must present the 

financial condition and the results of operations of the waste 

fund during the preceding fiscal year.

INTRODUCTION: Reforestation Trust Fund 

The Reforestation Trust Fund was established on the 

books of the Treasury in fiscal year 1981 to continue 

through September 30, 1985, according to provisions of 

Title III—Reforestation, of the Recreational Boating Safety 

and Facilities Improvement Act of 1980 [Public Law 96-

451, codified at 16 United States Code 1606a(a)]. 

The act provides that the Secretary of the Treasury shall 

transfer to the trust fund tariffs, limited to not more than $30 

million for any fiscal year, received in the Treasury from 

October 1, 1979, through September 30, 1985, on (1) rough 

and primary wood products and wood waste; (2) lumber, 

flooring and moldings; and (3) wood veneers, plywood, 

other wood-veneer assemblies and building boards. Public 

Law 99-190, title II, 99 Statutes at Large 1245, extended the 

receipts for the trust fund. Amounts available in the 

reforestation trust fund exceeding current withdrawals are 

invested in interest-bearing obligations of the United States 

or in obligations guaranteed as to both principal and interest 

by the United States. The interest on, and the proceeds from 

the sale or redemption of, any obligations are credited to the 

trust fund. 

The Secretary of the Department of Agriculture is 

authorized to obligate available sums in the trust fund 

(including any amounts not obligated in previous years) for 

(1) reforestation and timber stand improvement and (2) 

administrative costs of the Government for these activities. 

Annual reports are required by 16 United States Code 

1606aI (1) to be submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury, 

after consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, on the 

financial condition and the results of the operations of the 

trust fund during the past fiscal year and on its expected 

condition and operations during the next fiscal year.

INTRODUCTION: Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund 

The Aquatic Resources Trust Fund (ARTF) was 

established on the books of the Treasury pursuant to the 

Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 [Public Law 98-369, division 

A, title X, section 1016(a), approved July 18, 1984]. The 

ARTF was restructured and renamed the Sport Fish 

Restoration and Boating Trust Fund by the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: 

A Legacy for Users or “SAFETEA-LU” [Public Law 109-

59, title XI, subtitle B, part 2, section 11115, approved 

August 10, 2005,] as amended by the Sportfishing and 

Recreational Boating Safety Amendments Act of 2005 

[Public Law 109-74, approved September 29, 2005]. 

Section 3 of the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration 

Act, 16 United States Code 777, provides authorization of 

appropriations to the states to carry out the provisions of the 

act, and Section 4 provides the division of the remaining 

annual appropriation not authorized in Section 3. 

SAFETEA-LU comprehensively amended Section 3 and 

reauthorized the Sport Fish Restoration Program (for fiscal 

years 2006-2009) to permanently appropriate boating safety 

funds; to modify distribution of funds whereby all accounts 

receive a fixed percentage of the total fund annually; and to 

modify the excise tax on certain sport fishing equipment. 

From October 1, 2010, through June 30, 2012, the authority 

for SAFETEA-LU was extended via several public laws. In 

June 2012, Public Law 112-141, Moving Ahead for Progress 

in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), established new authority 

for Section 4 through September 30, 2014. 

Effective October 1, 2005, motorboat fuel taxes (less $1 

million transferred to the Land and Water Conservation 

Fund) and small engine gasoline taxes [pursuant to the 

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, Public Law 

101-508, title XI, section 11211(i) (2) and (3)] were 

transferred from the Highway Trust Fund to the Sport Fish 

Restoration and Boating Trust Fund. In addition, amounts 

equivalent to the excise taxes received on sport fishing 

equipment and import duties on fishing tackle, yachts, and 

pleasure craft are appropriated into the fund. 

Amounts in the trust fund are used, as provided by 

appropriation acts, for the purposes of carrying out the 

Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act, approved 

August 9, 1950; Section 7404(d) of the Transportation 

Equity Act for the 21st Century; and the Coastal Wetlands 

Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (each as in effect 

on the date of enactment of the MAP-21). 

The general provisions of 26 United States Code 9602(b) 

are responsible for making amounts available in the fund 

exceeding outlay requirements to be invested in public debt 

securities with the interest credited to the fund. 

As required by 26 United States Code 9602(a), annual 

reports to Congress must be submitted by the Secretary of 

the Treasury. These reports will cover the financial condition 

and results of operations of the fund during the past fiscal 

year and those expected during the next 5 fiscal years.

INTRODUCTION: Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund 

The Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund was established on the 

books of the Treasury by section 8033 of the Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-509). It was made 

effective on January 1, 1990, by section 7811(m)(3) of the 

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (Public Law 

101-239) and amended by section 9001of the Oil Pollution 

Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-380). The Energy Improvement 

and Extension Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-343) increased 

the barrel tax on petroleum from five cents per barrel to eight 

cents from 2009 through 2016, and to nine cents in 2017. The 

act also repeals the requirement that the tax be suspended 

when the unobligated balance exceeds $2.7 billion. 

Amounts equivalent to the taxes received from the 

environmental tax on petroleum, but only to the extent of the 

Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund rate, are appropriated to the 

fund. 

Certain amounts were transferred from other funds and 

were appropriated to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund as 

provided by 26 United States Code 9509(b). Certain paid 

penalties and amounts recovered for damages are also 

appropriated to the fund. 

Amounts in the fund are available for oil spill cleanup 

costs and certain other related purposes as provided by 

appropriations acts or section 6002(b) of the Oil Pollution Act 

of 1990 (Public Law 101-380). 

When the provisions of 26 United States Code 9602(b) are 

met, amounts available in the fund exceeding outlay 

requirements are invested in public debt securities. Interest is 

credited to the fund. 

Annual reports to Congress, required by 26 United States 

Code 9602(a), are submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury. 

These reports are required to cover the financial condition and 

results of operations of the fund during the past fiscal year and 

those expected during the next 5 fiscal years.

(Public Law 107-210, signed August 6, 2002) extended the 

sunset provision to January 1, 2006. The Miscellaneous 

Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004 (Public Law 

108-429, signed December 3, 2004) extended the sunset 

provision to 2008. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 

(Public Law 109-280, signed August 17, 2006) extended the 

sunset provision to 2010. The Emergency Economic 

Stabilization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-343, signed 

October 3, 2008) extended the sunset provision to 2015. 

The Act provides that the Secretary of the Treasury shall 

transfer to the trust fund out of the general fund of the U.S. 

Treasury amounts determined to be equivalent to the duty 

received on articles under chapters 51 and 52 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The 

amount to be transferred is limited to $2,500,000 in any 

fiscal year and may be invested in U.S. Treasury securities. 

The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to provide grants

INTRODUCTION: Agriculture Disaster Relief Trust Fund 

The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Public 

Law 110-246) created the “Agriculture Disaster Relief Trust 

Fund” (Disaster Trust Fund). The Disaster Trust Fund is 

described in Section 902 of the public law. 

The Disaster Trust Fund is appropriated an amount 

equivalent to 3.08 percent of the amounts received in the 

general fund of the Treasury of the United States during fiscal 

years 2008 through 2011 attributable to the duties collected on 

articles entered, or withdrawn from the warehouse, for 

consumption under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States. The collection activity is made by the U.S. 

Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP). The CBP transfers the funds monthly to the 

Disaster Trust Fund Receipt Account. 

The Disaster Trust Fund shall make amounts available 

for the purpose of expenditures to meet obligations of the 

United States incurred under Section 901 of the Trade Act of 

1974 and Section 531 of the Federal Crop Insurance Act. 

The Disaster Trust Fund will be used to make payments to 

farmers and ranchers under five disaster programs. 

 Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments 

Program (SURE) 

 Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) 

 Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) 

 Tree Assistance Program (TAP) 

 Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, 

and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) 

The Farm Service Agency shall invest such portions of 

the Disaster Trust Fund that is not required to meet current 

payment amounts. Investments may only be made in interest 

bearing obligations of the United States. 

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 

of 2009 (Public Law 111-5) created the “Agriculture 

Disaster Relief Trust Fund, Recovery Act” (Disaster Trust 

Fund-Recovery Act). The Disaster Trust Fund-Recovery Act 

provided for additional payments to farmers and ranchers 

from the SURE and TAP programs. The additional payments 

are tracked separately to meet the ARRA reporting 

requirements. 

The Disaster Trust Fund has indefinite borrowing 

authority via repayable advances. 

Annual reports to Congress, required by 19 United States 

Code 2497(a), are submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury. 

These reports are required to cover the financial condition and 

results of operations of the fund during the past fiscal year and 

those expected during the next 5 fiscal years.

Glossary 

With References to Applicable Sections and Tables 

Source: Financial Management Service 

Amounts outstanding and in circulation (USCC)—Includes 

all issues by the Bureau of the Mint purposely intended as a 

medium of exchange. Coins sold by the Bureau of the Mint at 

premium prices are excluded; however, uncirculated coin sets 

sold at face value plus handling charge are included. 

Average discount rate (PDO-1, -2)—In Treasury bill auctions, 

purchasers tender competitive bids on a discount rate basis. 

The average discount rate is the weighted, or adjusted, 

average of all bids accepted in the auction. 

Budget authority (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Congress 

passes laws giving budget authority to Government entities, 

which gives the agencies the power to spend Federal funds. 

Congress can stipulate various criteria for the spending of 

these funds. For example, Congress can stipulate that a given 

agency must spend within a specific year, number of years, or 

any time in the future. 

The basic forms of budget authority are appropriations, 

authority to borrow, contract authority, and authority to 

obligate and expend offsetting receipts and collections. The 

period of time during which Congress makes funds available 

may be specified as 1-year, multiple-year, or no-year. The 

available amount may be classified as either definite or 

indefinite; a specific amount or an unspecified amount can 

be made available. Authority also may be classified as 

current or permanent. Permanent authority requires no 

current action by Congress. 

Budget deficit—The total, cumulative amount by which 

budget outlays (spending) exceed budget receipts (income). 

Cash management bills (PDO-1)—Marketable Treasury 

bills of irregular maturity lengths, sold periodically to fund 

short-term cash needs of Treasury. Their sale, having higher 

minimum and multiple purchase requirements than those of 

other issues, is generally restricted to competitive bidders. 

Competitive tenders (“Treasury Financing Operations”)—

A bid to purchase a stated amount of one issue of Treasury 

securities at a specified yield or discount. The bid is accepted 

if it is within the range accepted in the auction. (See 

Noncompetitive tenders.) 

Currency no longer issued (USCC)—Old and new series 

gold and silver certificates, Federal Reserve notes, national 

bank notes, and 1890 Series Treasury notes. 

Debt outstanding subject to limitation (FD-6)—The debt 

incurred by the Treasury subject to the statutory limit set by 

Congress. Until World War I, a specific amount of debt was 

authorized to each separate security issue. Beginning with the 

Second Liberty Loan Act of 1917, the nature of the limitation 

was modified until, in 1941, it developed into an overall limit 

on the outstanding Federal debt. Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 

3101(b). By Act of February 4, 2013, Public Law 113-3, the 

Statutory Debt Limit has been suspended and shall not apply 

for the period beginning February 4, 2013 and ending on May 

18, 2013. 

Total Public Debt Subject to Limit - The Total Public Debt 

Subject to Limit is the Total Public Debt Outstanding adjusted 

for Unamortized Discount on Treasury Bills and Zero Coupon 

Treasury Bonds, Other Debt (old debt issued before 1917 and 

old currency called United States Notes), Debt held by the 

Federal Financing Bank, Hope Bonds and Guaranteed Debt of 

Government Agencies. For a breakout of the debt subject to 

limit, see the Monthly Statement of the Public Debt at 

http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/mspd/mspd.htm. 

Discount—The interest deducted in advance when purchasing 

notes or bonds. (See Accrued discount.) 

Discount rate (PDO-1)—The difference between par value 

and the actual purchase price paid, annualized over a 360-day 

year. Because this rate is less than the actual yield (couponequivalent rate), the yield should be used in any comparison 

with coupon issue securities. 

Dollar coins (USCC)—Include standard silver and nonsilver 

coins. 

Domestic series (FD-2)—Nonmarketable, interest- and noninterest-bearing securities issued periodically by Treasury to 

the Resolution Funding Corporation (RFC) for investment of 

funds authorized under section 21B of the Federal Home Loan 

Bank Act (12 United States Code 1441b). 

Federal intrafund transactions (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Intrabudgetary transactions in which payments and 

receipts both occur within the same Federal fund group 

(Federal funds or trust funds). 

Federal Reserve notes (USCC)—Issues by the U.S. 

Government to the public through the Federal Reserve banks 

and their member banks. They represent money owed by the 

Government to the public. Currently, the item “Federal 

Reserve notes—amounts outstanding” consists of new series 

issues. The Federal Reserve note is the only class of currency 

currently issued. 

Foreign (“Foreign Currency Positions,” IFS-2, -3)—

Locations other than those included under the definition of the

foreigners. 

Foreign official institutions (“Capital Movements”)—

all departments and agencies of national governments; central 

banks, exchange authorities, and all fiscal agents of foreign 

national governments that undertake activities similar to those 

of a treasury, central bank, or stabilization fund; diplomatic

Foreign-targeted issue (PDO-2)—Foreign-targeted issues 

were notes sold between October 1984 and February 1986 to 

foreign institutions, foreign branches of U.S. institutions, 

foreign central banks or monetary authorities, or to 

international organizations in which the United States held 

membership. Sold as companion issues, they could be 

converted to domestic (normal) Treasury notes with the same 

maturity and interest rates. Interest was paid annually. 

Fractional coins (USCC)—Coins minted in denominations 

of 50, 25, and 10 cents, and minor coins (5 cents and 1 cent). 

Government account series (FD-2)—Certain trust fund 

statutes require the Secretary of the Treasury to apply monies 

held by these funds toward the issuance of nonmarketable 

special securities. These securities are sold directly by 

Treasury to a specific Government agency, trust fund, or 

account. Their rate is based on an average of market yields on 

outstanding Treasury obligations, and they may be redeemed 

at the option of the holder. Roughly 80 percent of these are 

issued to five holders: the Federal Old-Age and Survivors 

Insurance Trust Fund; the civil service retirement and 

disability fund; the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund; the 

military retirement fund; and the Unemployment Trust Fund.

These occur when payment and receipt both occur within the 

budget, or when payment is made from off-budget Federal 

entities whose budget authority and outlays are excluded from

Federally owned and controlled entities whose transactions are 

excluded from the budget totals under provisions of law. Their 

receipts, outlays, and surplus or deficit are not included in 

budget receipts, outlays, or deficits. Their budget authority is 

not included in totals of the budget. 

Outlays (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Payments on 

obligations in the form of cash, checks, the issuance of bonds 

or notes, or the maturing of interest coupons. 

Own foreign offices (“Capital Movements”)—Refers to 

U.S. reporting institutions’ parent organizations, branches 

and/or majority-owned subsidiaries located outside the United 

States. 

Par value—The face value of bonds or notes, including 

interest. 

Quarterly financing (“Treasury Financing Operations”)—

Treasury has historically offered packages of several 

“coupon” security issues on the 15th of February, May, 

August, and November, or on the next working day. These 

issues currently consist of a 3-year note, a 10-year note, and a 

30-year bond. Treasury sometimes offers additional amounts 

of outstanding long-term notes or bonds, rather than selling 

new security issues. (See Reopening.) 

Receipts (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—Funds collected 

from selling land, capital, or services, as well as collections 

from the public (budget receipts), such as taxes, fines, duties, 

and fees. 

Reopening (PDO-2)—The offer for sale of additional 

amounts of outstanding issues, rather than an entirely new 

issue. A reopened issue will always have the same maturity 

date, CUSIP-number, and interest rate as the original issue. 

Special drawing rights (“Exchange Stabilization Fund,” 

IFS-1)—International assets created by IMF that serve to 

increase international liquidity and provide additional

international reserves. SDRs may be purchased and sold 

among eligible holders through IMF. (See IMF.) 

SDR allocations are the counterpart to SDRs issued by 

IMF based on members’ quotas in IMF. Although shown in 

Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) statements as liabilities, 

they must be redeemed by ESF only in the event of 

liquidation of, or U.S. withdrawal from, the SDR department 

of IMF or cancellation of SDRs. 

SDR certificates are issued to the Federal Reserve 

System against SDRs when SDRs are legalized as money. 

Proceeds of monetization are deposited into an ESF account 

at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. 

Spot (“Foreign Currency Positions”)—Due for receipt or 

delivery within 2 workdays. 

State and local government series (SLGS) (FD-2)—Special

comply with IRS arbitrage provisions. SLGS are offered in 

both time deposit and demand deposit forms. Time deposit 

certificates have maturities of up to 1 year. Notes mature in 1 

to 10 years and bonds mature in more than 10 years. Demand 

deposit securities are 1-day certificates rolled over with a rate 

adjustment daily. 

Statutory debt limit (FD-6)—By Act of Congress there is a 

limit, either temporary or permanent, on the amount of public 

debt that may be outstanding. When this limit is reached, 

Treasury may not sell new debt issues until Congress 

increases or extends the limit. For a detailed listing of changes 

in the limit since 1941, see the Budget of the United States 

Government. (See debt outstanding subject to limitation.) 

STRIPS (PDO-2)—Separate Trading of Registered Interest 

and Principal Securities. Long-term notes and bonds may be 

divided into principal and interest-paying components, which 

may be transferred and sold in amounts as small as $1,000. 

STRIPS are sold at auction at a minimum par amount, varying 

for each issue. The amount is an arithmetic function of the 

issue’s interest rate. 

Treasury bills—The shortest term Federal security (maturity 

dates normally varying from 3 to 12 months), are sold at a 

discount. 

Trust fund transaction (“Federal Fiscal Operations”)—

An intrabudgetary transaction in which both payments and 

receipts occur within the same trust fund group.
