Board has adopted final amendments to its Regulation A to reflect
the Board’s approval of an increase in the rate for primary credit
at each Federal Reserve Bank.

The secondary credit rate at
each Reserve Bank automatically increased by formula as a result of
the Board’s primary credit rate action. The final rule is effective
June 29, 2022 (Regulation A, Docket R-1773), the same day it was published in the Federal
Register. The rate changes for primary and secondary credit were
applicable on June 16, 2022. Regulation D
The Board is amending Regulation D (Reserve Requirements
of Depository Institutions) to revise the rate of interest paid on
balances (IORB) maintained at Federal Reserve Banks by or on behalf
of eligible institutions.
More...
The final amendments specify
that IORB is 1.65 percent, a 0.75 percentage point increase from its
prior level. The amendment is intended to enhance the role of IORB
in maintaining the federal funds rate in the target range established
by the Federal Open Market Committee. The final rule is effective
June 29, 2022 (Regulation D, Docket R-1774), the same day it was published in the Federal

and Community Affairs
CFPB’s Regulation V
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is amending Regulation
V, which implements the Fair Credit Reporting Act, to address recent
legislation that assists consumers who are victims of trafficking.
More...
This final rule
establishes a method for a victim of trafficking to submit documentation
to consumer reporting agencies, including information identifying
any adverse item of information about the consumer that resulted from
certain types of human trafficking, and prohibits the consumer reporting
agencies from furnishing a consumer report containing the adverse
item(s) of information. The CFPB is taking this action as mandated
by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 to
assist consumers who are victims of trafficking in building or rebuilding
financial stability and personal independence. The final rule is effective
July 25, 2022 (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Regulation V, Docket CFPB-2022-0023) and was published in the Federal Register on June 24, 2022.
