This the program you are talking about?  Part of the Cares Act?

:news:

When the Federal Reserve conducts an overnight RRP, it sells a security to an eligible counterparty and simultaneously agrees to buy the security back the next day. This transaction does not affect the size of the System Open Market Account (SOMA) portfolio, but there is a reduction in reserve balances on the liability side of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet and a corresponding increase in reverse repo obligations while the trade is outstanding. The FOMC sets the ON RRP offering rate, which is the maximum interest rate the Federal Reserve is willing to pay in an ON RRP operation; the actual interest rate that a counterparty receives is determined through an auction process.

The Federal Reserve conducted technical exercises using ON RRPs beginning in September 2013 in order to gain operational experience and garner information about how such operations might be used during the policy normalization process.

The ON RRP offering rate (the maximum interest rate that the Federal Reserve is willing to pay on ON RRP operations) plays a role for ON RRP counterparties that is similar to the role played by the interest rate on excess reserves for depository institutions. That is, in general, any counterparty that can use the ON RRP facility should be unwilling to invest funds overnight with another counterparty at a rate below the ON RRP rate, just as any depository institution eligible to earn interest on reserves should be unwilling to invest funds overnight with another counterparty at a rate below the interest rate on excess reserves. The Federal Reserve currently conducts ON RRP operations with many counterparties, covering a wide range of entities (the list of ON RRP counterparties is available here).

 

 

 The Federal Reserve’s reverse repurchase facility on Monday attracted $486.1 billion in cash, a record high, with financial institutions lending to the U.S. central bank at a 0% interest rate in a sign there are few investment options available in a low yield environment

 

The financial market has been awash in cash over the last few months given the Fed’s asset buying program and the U.S. Treasury’s payments to various institutions, entities, and individuals for pandemic relief.

That cash has found its way to the reverse repo facility launched in 2013 to mop up excess liquidity in the repo market.
