Federal Reserve System (Board) has
approved the private sector adjustment
factor (PSAF) for 2020 of $18.9 million
and the 2020 fee schedules for Federal
Reserve priced services and electronic
access. These actions were taken in
accordance with the Monetary Control
Act of 1980, which requires that, over
the long run, fees for Federal Reserve
priced services be established on the
basis of all direct and indirect costs,
including the PSAF.
DATES: The new fee schedules become
effective January 2, 2020.

I. Supplementary Information
Private Sector Adjustment Factor,
Priced Services Cost Recovery, and
Overview of 2020 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.1 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 will have
been earned if a private business firm
provided the services. The imputed
costs and imputed profit are collectively
referred to as the private-sector
adjustment factor (PSAF). From 2009
through 2018, the Reserve Banks
recovered 102.6 percent of their total
expenses (including imputed costs) and
targeted after-tax profits or return on
equity (ROE) for providing priced
services.2
Table 1 summarizes 2018 actual, 2019
estimated, and 2020 budgeted costrecovery rates for all priced services.
Cost recovery is estimated to be 100.8
percent in 2019 and budgeted to be
100.2 percent in 2020.

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). For 2020, the projected revenue assumes implementation of the fee changes.
c The calculation of total expense includes operating, imputed, and other expenses. Imputed and other expenses include taxes, 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 ASC 715 are also included.
d Targeted ROE is the after-tax ROE included in the PSAF.
e The recovery rates in this and subsequent tables do not reflect the unamortized gains or losses that must be recognized in accordance with
ASC 715. Future gains or losses, and their effect on cost recovery, cannot be projected.
f For 2019 and 2020, credits or debits related to the accounting for pension plans under ASC 715 include service cost only with the adoption of
ASU 2017–07 Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (Topic 715).

Reserve Banks recognized a cumulative reduction
in equity related to the priced services’ benefit
plans. Including this cumulative reduction in
equity from 2009 to 2018 results in cost recovery
of 104.1 percent for the ten-year period. This
measure of long-run cost recovery is also published
in the Board’s Annual Report.
