Summary

All power to make loans, loan guarantees, or other investments under this part ends on December 31, 2020, except for the specific exceptions below. Loans or guarantees already outstanding on that date can be changed or restructured, but they cannot be forgiven. If a loan made under section 9042(b)(1) is changed, its total life cannot be pushed past 5 years from the original loan date. After December 31, 2020, the Federal Reserve and its banks may not make new loans or buy assets through any program where the Treasury made an investment under the law, except the Main Street Lending Program may buy a participation interest in a loan only if that loan was submitted to the Program’s lender portal on or before December 14, 2020 and the Program buys the participation by January 8, 2021 under the same terms that applied when it was submitted. The Fed also may not change those programs or move their funds into a new, similar program, but it may modify or restructure individual eligible loans or assets for a single eligible borrower if doing so is needed to limit taxpayer losses. The Treasury’s fund under 31 U.S.C. 5302 can be used as normally allowed, but it cannot be used to recreate any of those same programs or facilities, except the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility.
