## Abstract

To reduce liquidity and other strains being experienced by money market mutual funds, the Federal Reserve System adopted on September 19, 2008, the Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Lending Facility (AMLF) that enables depository institutions and bank holding companies to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston on a nonrecourse basis if they use the proceeds of the loan to purchase certain types of asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) from money market mutual funds. To facilitate this Federal Reserve lending program, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) also adopted an exemption from its leverage and risk- based capital rules for ABCP held by a state member bank or bank holding company as a result of its participation in this program.
