1The ten-year recovery rate is based on the pro 

forma income statement for Federal Reserve priced 

services published in the Board’s Annual Report. 

Effective December 31, 2006, the Reserve Banks 

implemented Statement of Financial Accounting 

Standards (SFAS) No. 158: Employers’ Accounting 

for Defined Benefit Pension and Other 

Postretirement Plans [Accounting Standards 

Codification (ASC) 715 Compensation—Retirement 

Benefits], which resulted in recognizing a 

cumulative reduction in equity related to the priced 

services’ benefit plans. Including this cumulative 

reduction in equity from 2006 to 2013 results in 

cost recovery of 95.9 percent for the ten-year period. 

This measure of long-run cost recovery is also 

published in the Board’s Annual Report. 

DATES: Effective on November 6, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Private Sector Adjustment Factor, 

Priced Services Cost Recovery, and 

Overview of 2015 Price Changes 

A. Overview—Each year, as required 

by the Monetary Control Act of 1980, 

the Reserve Banks set fees for priced 

services provided to depository 

institutions. These fees are set to 

recover, over the long run, all direct and 

indirect costs and imputed costs, 

including financing costs, taxes, and 

certain other expenses, as well as the 

return on equity (profit) that would have 

been earned if a private business firm 

provided the services. The imputed 

costs and imputed profit are collectively 

referred to as the PSAF. From 2004 

through 2013, the Reserve Banks 

recovered 102.0 percent of their total 

expenses (including imputed costs) and 

targeted after-tax profits or return on 

equity (ROE) for providing priced 

services.1

Table 1 summarizes 2013 actual, 2014 

estimated, and 2015 budgeted costrecovery rates for all priced services. 

Cost recovery is estimated to be 100.8 

percent in 2014 and budgeted to be 

101.9 percent in 2015.

a Calculations in this table and subsequent pro forma cost and revenue tables may be affected by rounding. 

b Revenue includes imputed income on investments when equity is imputed at a level that meets minimum capital requirements and, when 

combined with liabilities, exceeds total assets (attachment 1). cThe calculation of total expense includes operating, imputed, and other expenses. Imputed and other expenses include taxes, FDIC insurance, Board of Governors’ priced services expenses, the cost of float, and interest on imputed debt, if any. Credits or debits related to the accounting for pension plans under FAS 158 [ASC 715] are also included. dTargeted ROE is the after-tax ROE included in the PSAF. 

eThe recovery rates in this and subsequent tables do not reflect the unamortized gains or losses that must be recognized in accordance with 

FAS 158 [ASC 715]. Future gains or losses, and their effect on cost recovery, cannot be projected.
