Summary

Require that the costs of buying troubled assets, guaranteeing them, and any related cash flows be worked out under the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (2 U.S.C. 661 et seq.). For the rule in section 502(5) (2 U.S.C. 661a(5)), the discount rate used to find those costs must be adjusted for market risk. If a troubled asset or its guarantee is changed, the cost is the difference between the current estimate before the change and the current estimate after the change, each using the adjusted rate.
