  reduces the amount available for investment in Treasury bills for the net income on clearing balances
  calculation. Short-term assets are funded with non-core clearing balances. Long-term assets are funded with
  core clearing balances; a total of $4 billion in balances is available for this purpose. No short- or long-
  term debt is imputed.
\32\ See table 16 for calculation of required imputed equity amount.

    8. On page 56325, in Table 15, under the Total column, in the first 
entry, ``$78.5'' should read, ``$678.5''.

follows:

    10. On page 56326, in the continued Table 16, in the first entry, 
omit ``Total equity''.
    11. On the same page, in Table 17, in the Weighted assests column, 
in the first entry, ``0.0'' should read, ``$0.0''.
    12. On page 56328, in the ``Noncash Collection Fee Schedule--
Continued'' table, in the fees column, `` \52\40.00'' should read, 
``40.00\52\''.
    13. On page 56329, the table title should appear as follows:
