Reserve Maintenance Manual (Off-site)
The Reserve Maintenance Manual provides information fundamental to understanding reserve calculations and account maintenance. The manual is updated each year to reflect the annual indexation of values used in the calculation of reserve requirements and any other changes affecting reserve calculation and maintenance.
Reserve Maintenance Calendars
The below maintenance period calendars illustrate the relationship between computation periods, reserve balance requirement calculation periods, and maintenance periods. Calendars are organized by the frequency with which an institution reports the FR 2900 (Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash), either weekly or quarterly.

Term Deposit Facility
The Term Deposit Facility (TDF) is a program under which the Federal Reserve offers term deposits to institutions that are eligible to receive interest on the balances they maintain at the Reserve Banks. An eligible institution may place funds at its Reserve Bank in a term deposit for an agreed upon number of days and reduce the amount of reserves it holds.
