How they were counted

Counted the rows with series code FRY12 (not FRY12A) in the edit table of the FR Y-12 instructions whose end date is 99991231 (still in effect). 169 more rows have end dates before 13 Nov 2026 and are not counted.

Counts are in the Federal Reserve Board's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
