TLDRS:

Today’s FOMC decision to raise Fed Funds Rate by 25 basis points will not result in a change in TMPG Fail Charge. Settlement Obligation fails (FTDs in Treasury & Government bonds) will continue to be charged at the TMPG fail charge floor rate. The Fed ENABLES lower FTD costs for the DTCC.

They (the Fed) help make it easier to pay less on FTDs in treasuries while paying more in overnight RRP, boo!
