(b) Interest on Market-Based Obligations.—With respect to any Federal fund which invests in market-based special obligations, on the expiration of a debt issuance suspension period to which this section applies, the Secretary of the Treasury shall immediately credit to such fund an amount equal to the interest that would have been earned by such fund during the debt issuance suspension period if the daily balance in such fund that the Secretary was unable to invest by reason of the limitation of such section 3101(b) had been invested each day during such period, overnight, in obligations under chapter 31 of title 31, United States Code, earning interest at a rate determined by the Secretary in accordance with the standard practice of the Department of the Treasury. (c) Credited Amounts Treated as Interest.—All amounts credited under this section shall be treated as interest on obligations issued under chapter 31 of title 31, United States Code, for all purposes of Federal law.
