HIGHLIGHTS
Amid
a
sharp
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
T.
Rowe
Price
U.S.
Treasury
Money
Fund
posted
positive
returns
and
modestly
outperformed
its
Lipper
peer
group
index.
T.
Rowe
Price’s
U.S.
Treasury
Index
Funds
produced
steep
losses
amid
high
inflation
and
rapid
monetary
tightening
by
the
Federal
Reserve
(Fed).
The
funds
underperformed
their
respective
Bloomberg
benchmarks
and
delivered
mixed
results
versus
their
Lipper
peer
group
average.
Within
our
U.S.
Treasury
Index
Funds,
we
reduced
non-benchmark
allocations
to
Ginnie
Mae
mortgage-backed
securities
amid
continued
headwinds
to
the
mortgage
sector.
With
the
Fed
tightening
into
a
slowing
economy,
we
see
a
high
likelihood
of
a
policy-driven
recession
by
early
next
year.
Moreover,
given
the
pace
at
which
inflation
has
moderated
and
demand
has
weakened,
we
believe
that
the
Fed
will
be
forced
to
pause
rate
hikes
and
could
cut
rates
sooner
than
the
market
expects.

Market
Commentary
Dear
Shareholder
Global
stock
markets
generally
produced
negative
returns
during
the
first
half
of
your
fund’s
fiscal
year,
the
six-month
period
ended
November
30,
2022,
while
rising
bond
yields
weighed
on
returns
for
fixed
income
investors.
Investors
contended
with
tightening
financial
conditions
and
slowing
economic
and
corporate
earnings
growth,
but
hopes
that
persistently
high
inflation
might
be
easing
helped
spark
a
rally
late
in
the
period
that
partially
offset
earlier
losses.
In
the
U.S.,
equity
results
were
mixed.
The
Dow
Jones
Industrial
Average
recorded
positive
results
and
mid-cap
growth
stocks
also
performed
well,
while
most
other
benchmarks
finished
in
negative
territory.
The
S&P
500
Index
was
modestly
negative
for
the
period,
but
results
varied
widely
at
the
sector
level,
with
industrials
and
energy
shares
delivering
strong
gains
while
communication
services
stocks
struggled.
Outside
the
U.S.,
most
major
country
and
regional
benchmarks
lost
ground.
Emerging
markets
stocks
generally
underperformed
shares
in
developed
markets.
Meanwhile,
the
U.S.
dollar
strengthened
versus
most
currencies
during
the
period,
which
weighed
on
returns
for
U.S.
investors
in
international
securities.
Elevated
inflation
remained
a
leading
concern
for
investors
throughout
the
period,
although
hopes
that
inflation
may
have
peaked
led
to
rallies
during
the
summer
and
again
in
November.
The
October
consumer
price
index
report,
which
was
released
in
mid-November,
was
better
than
expected
and
showed
price
increases
easing
from
recent
40-year
highs.
However,
the
7.7%
year-over-
year
increase
in
the
headline
inflation
number
remained
well
above
the
Fed’s
2%
target.
In
response
to
the
high
inflation
readings,
global
central
banks
continued
to
tighten
monetary
policy,
and
investors
focused
on
communications
from
central
bank
officials
on
how
high
rates
would
have
to
go.
The
Federal
Reserve
delivered
four
historically
large
75-basis-point
(0.75
percentage
point)
rate
hikes
during
the
period,
which
lifted
its
short-term
lending
benchmark
to
a
target
range
of
3.75%
to
4.00%
by
early
November,
the
highest
level
since
2008.
As
our
reporting
period
came
to
an
end,
Fed
officials
signaled
that
they
were
likely
to
dial
back
the
pace
of
rate
increases.
Bond
yields
increased
considerably
across
the
Treasury
yield
curve
as
the
Fed
tightened
monetary
policy,
with
the
yield
on
the
benchmark
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
note
climbing
from
2.85%
at
the
start
of
the
period
to
3.68%
at
the
end
of
November.
Significant
inversions
in
the
Treasury
curve,
which
are
often
considered
a
warning
sign
of
a
coming
recession,
occurred
during
the
period
T.
ROWE
PRICE
U.S.
Treasury
Funds
as
shorter-maturity
Treasuries
experienced
the
largest
yield
increases.
The
sharp
increase
in
yields
led
to
generally
negative
results
across
the
fixed
income
market
as
bond
prices
and
yields
move
in
opposite
directions.
On
a
positive
note,
the
U.S.
jobs
market
remained
resilient
during
the
period,
and
overall
economic
growth
turned
positive
in
the
third
quarter
after
two
slightly
negative
quarters.
However,
recession
fears
also
grew
as
corporate
earnings
slowed
and
manufacturing
gauges
drifted
toward
contraction
levels.
In
addition,
the
housing
market
began
to
weaken
as
mortgage
rates
climbed
to
the
highest
level
in
more
than
20
years.
The
past
year
has
been
a
trying
time
for
investors
as
few
sectors
remained
untouched
by
the
broad
headwinds
that
markets
faced,
and
volatility
may
continue
in
the
near
term
as
central
banks
tighten
policy
amid
slowing
economic
growth.
However,
in
our
view,
valuations
have
become
more
attractive
across
many
market
sectors
during
the
downturn,
which
provides
potential
opportunities
for
selective
investors
focused
on
fundamentals.
We
believe
this
environment
makes
skilled
active
management
a
critical
tool
for
identifying
risks
and
opportunities,
and
our
investment
teams
will
continue
to
use
fundamental
research
to
identify
securities
that
can

to
your

COMMENTARY
How
did
the
fund
perform
in
the
past six
months?
Amid
rapidly
rising
money
market
interest
rates,
the
U.S.
Treasury
Money
Fund
returned
1.07%
over
the
six
months
ended
November
30,
2022.
The

modestly
outperformed

)
What
factors
influenced
the
fund’s
performance?
Money
market
yields
rose
sharply
from
near-zero
levels
since
March
2022,
when
the
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
began
to
raise
the
fed
funds
target
rate
from
the
0.00%
to
0.25%
range
it
adopted
when
the
coronavirus
pandemic
erupted
in
March
2020.
Fed
rate
hikes
were
aggressive,
as
the
central
bank
combatted
elevated
inflation
stemming
from
factors
such
as
a
tight
labor
market,
pandemic-related
global
supply
chain
disruptions,
and
higher
prices
of
energy
commodities
as
many
nations
attempted
to
reduce
reliance
on
Russian
energy
exports
due
to
Russia’s
attacks
against
Ukraine.
In
fact,
the
Fed
enacted
several
75-basis-point
(0.75%)
rate
increases
during
the
period—a
meaningful
departure
from
the
25-basis-point
incremental
changes
typically
made
to
the
fed
funds
rate.
By
the
end
of
November,
the
Fed
had
raised
the
fed
funds
target
rate
to
the
3.75%
to
4.00%
range—a
level
unseen
in
about
15
years.
(After
our
reporting
period
ended,
the
Fed
lifted
the
target
rate
to
the
4.25%
to
4.50%
range
on
December
14.)

rhetoric
from
Fed
officials
who
are
committed
to
bringing
inflation
back
down
to
the
central
bank’s
long-term
2%
goal,
U.S.
Treasury
yields
surged
in
the
first
half
of
our
fiscal
year.
In

three-month

climbed
from

4.37%,
while
six-month
T-bill

advanced
from

to
4.70%.
One-year
T-bill
yields
increased
from
2.08%
to
4.74%.
How
is
the
fund
positioned?
Since
our
last
report,
we
steadily
extended
the
fund’s
weighted
average
maturity
(WAM)
in
an
effort
to
take
advantage
of
higher
yields
on
longer-term
money
market
securities.
As
of
November
30,
2022,
the
fund’s
WAM
stood
at
23
days,
up
from
nine
days
at
the
start
of
the
period.
Still,
due
to
our
expectation
for
further
monetary
tightening
in
the
months
ahead,
we
kept
the
portfolio’s
WAM
relatively
short
so
that
we
could
respond
accordingly
to
subsequent
rate
increases.
Consistent
with
our
preference
for
shorter
maturities,
approximately
78%
of
the
portfolio’s
net
assets
as
of
the
period-end
were
invested
in
one-
to
seven-
day
repurchase
agreements
fully
collateralized
by
Treasury
securities.
The
remainder
of
the
portfolio
was
invested
largely
in
T-bills
and,
to
a
smaller
extent,
Treasury
notes
scheduled
to
mature
within
one
year.
What
is
portfolio
management’s
outlook?
The
Fed’s
rate-hiking
cycle
is
well
underway
in
an
attempt
to
curb
inflation
pressures.
However,
policymakers
have
yet
to
give
any
clear
indication
as
to
when
they
expect
to
pause
their
rate
increases
or
at
what
level
they
expect
the
fed
funds
rate
to
peak.
According
to
the
Fed’s
post-meeting
statement
published
on
November
2,
policymakers
anticipate
that
“ongoing
increases
in
the
target
range
will
be
appropriate
in
order
to
attain
a
stance
of
monetary
policy
that
is
sufficiently
restrictive”
to
bring
inflation
back
down
to
2%.
Fed
Chair
Jerome
Powell
confirmed
in
his
November
post-meeting
press
conference
that
Fed
officials
“still
have
some
ways
to
go”
regarding
interest
rate
increases
and
noted
that
“the
ultimate
level
of
interest
rates
will
be
higher
than
previously
expected.”
Money
market
fund
investors
undoubtedly
welcome
higher
money
market
yields
and
returns.
However,
with
year-over-year
consumer
price
index
inflation
around
7%
through
the
end
of
November,
real
(inflation-adjusted)
yields
remain
negative,
so
we
agree
that
the
central
bank
has
more
work
to
do.
If
inflation
remains
elevated,
we
would
not
be
surprised
to
see
additional
rate

ROWE
PRICE
U.S.

increases
that
take

We
would
also
not
be
surprised
to
see
the
central
bank
keep
short-term
interest
rates
at
higher
levels
for
some
time—even
if
it
causes
a
recession—to
make
sure
that
inflation
trends
back
down
toward
the
Fed’s
long-term
2%
target.
As
we
watch
the
economy
evolve
and
monitor
the
words
and
actions
of
Fed
policymakers
for
clues
about
possible
future
rate
increases,
we
believe
that
our
strategy
of
keeping
a
relatively
short
WAM
should
enable
us
to
respond
quickly
to
any
changes
in
the
interest
rate
outlook
or
other
factors
affecting
the
money

In
any

What
factors
influenced
the
fund’s
performance?
U.S.
Treasuries
sold
off
meaningfully
in
the
face
of
persistently
high
inflation,
rapid
interest
rate
hikes
by
the
Federal
Reserve
(Fed),
and
hawkish
revisions
to
the
Fed’s
monetary
policy
outlook.
Though
remaining
at
multi-decade
highs,
inflation
readings
moderated
near
the
end
of
the
period,
and
the
Fed
signaled
that
it
would
soon
begin
to
slow
the
pace
of
rate
hikes—which
it
did
at
the
central
bank’s
mid-December
policy
meeting
after
our
reporting
period
ended.
Together,
these
factors
aided
a
November
rally
that
pared
some
of
the
Treasury
market’s
earlier
losses.
In
this
environment,
the
fund’s
limited,
out-of-benchmark
exposure
to
Treasury
inflation
protected
securities
(TIPS)
in
November
weighed
on
relative
returns.
We
initiated
this
position
based
on
our
view
that
the
Fed’s
signals
for
smaller
rate
hikes
would
enable
upside
surprises
in
economic
data
to
generate
a
positive
reaction
from
investors,
who
could
instead
focus
on
the
implications
for
better
nominal
growth
rather
than
the
need
for
stronger
Fed
policy
responses.
Consequently,
we
expected
this
changing
dynamic
to
place
a
ceiling
on
interest
rate
volatility
and
the
U.S.
dollar,
aiding
oil
prices
and
TIPS
break-
even
spreads—a
market-based
measure
of
inflation
expectations.
Although
the
U.S.
dollar
softened
and
rate
volatility
lessened
in
November,
the
fund’s
TIPS
position
detracted
from
performance
as
break-even
spreads
tightened
on
lower-than-expected
U.S.
inflation
readings
and
a
pullback
in
global
crude
prices
stemming
from
China’s
COVID-related
lockdowns.
We
exited
this
TIPS
position
by
the
end
of
the
period
amid
signs
of
renewed
strength
in
the
U.S.
dollar.
Our
tactical
adjustments
to
the
portfolio’s
duration—a
key
measure
of
interest
rate
sensitivity—were
generally
favorable.
However,
our
use
of
derivatives—
namely,
Treasury
futures
and
options
on
Treasury
futures—worked
against
some
of
the
portfolio’s
duration
positions
due
to
the
pricing
of
these
instruments
versus
cash
bonds.
As
a
result,
duration
management
crimped
relative
performance,
on
net.
(Although
the
fund
invests
primarily
in
cash
bonds,
we
also
employ
derivatives
instruments
in
the
portfolio
to
manage
its
duration
and
exposures
to
various
parts
of
the
Treasury
yield
curve.
These
instruments
detracted
from
the
fund’s
absolute
returns
during
the
period.)
Yield
curve
exposures
impeded
results,
with
extreme
rate
volatility
occasionally
undermining
our
tactical
positions.
From
late
July
through
part
of
August,
we
positioned
the
fund
for
a
steeper
5-year/30-year
curve
segment
amid
signs
that
Fed
hawkishness
may
have
peaked.
However,
this
positioning
detracted
from
performance.
At
the
time,
higher-than-expected
inflation
data
and
hawkish
messaging
from
Fed
Chair
Jerome
Powell
led
investors
to
price
in
a
“higher

T.
ROWE
PRICE
U.S.
Treasury
Funds
longer”
rate
regime
from
the
Fed,
and
a
resulting
surge
in
shorter-term
yields
caused
the
5-year/30-year
segment
to
invert.
(A
yield
curve
inversion
occurs
when
yields
on
shorter-term
securities
exceed
those
on
longer-term
bonds
and
is
considered
by
many
investors
to
be
a
precursor
to
an
economic
recession.)
How
is
the
fund
positioned?
We
continued
to
tactically
adjust
the
fund’s
overall
duration
and
curve
posture
based
on
incoming
economic
and
inflation
data,
monetary
policy
signals,
and
geopolitical
developments.
We
generally
favored
a
neutral
to
short
duration
stance
versus
the
benchmark
through
August,
reflecting
our

After

around

a
plunge

we
allowed
the

GNMA

This
decrease
in
the

MBS
position
reflected
relative

less

By
the

the

stood
at

and
other

for
potential

to
add

Within

universe,
we
favored
floating
rate
collateralized
mortgage
obligations,
which
typically
fare
better
than
fixed
rate
issues
when
mortgage
rates
increase.
For
similar
reasons,
we
maintained
a
general

higher-coupon,
shorter-duration
MBS.
At

however,
we
sought
to
take
advantage
of
attractive
valuations
in
lower-coupon

which
saw
a
noticeable
reduction

prepayment

unappealing

most

What
is
portfolio

outlook?
With
the

tightening

a
slowing
economy,
we
see
a
high
likelihood
of
a
policy-driven
recession
in
the
U.S.
by

This
forecast
is
underpinned
by
a

and
significant
headwinds
to
consumer

from
a
softer
labor

still-high

Given
the
faster-than-anticipated

we
believe
the
Fed
will
be
forced
to
pause
rate

and
could
cut
rates
sooner
than
the
market
expects.
In
our
view,
the

signals
that

it
would

the
pace
of

it
did
at
the
central
bank’s
mid-December
policy
meeting
after
our
reporting
period
ended.
Together,
these
factors
aided
a
November
rally
that
pared
some
of
the
Treasury

earlier

In
this
environment,
the
fund’s
limited,
out-of-benchmark
exposure
to
Treasury
inflation
protected
securities
(TIPS)
in
November
weighed
on
relative
returns.
We
initiated
this
position
based
on
our
view
that
the
Fed’s
signals
for
smaller
rate
hikes
would
enable
upside
surprises
in
economic
data
to
generate
a
positive
reaction
from
investors,
who
could
instead
focus
on
the
implications
for
better
nominal
growth
rather
than
the
need
for
stronger
Fed
policy
responses.
Consequently,
we
expected
this
changing
dynamic
to
place
a
ceiling
on
interest
rate
volatility
and
the
U.S.
dollar,
aiding
oil
prices
and
TIPS
break-
even
spreads—a
market-based
measure
of
inflation
expectations.
Although
the
U.S.
dollar
softened
and
rate
volatility
lessened
in
November,
the
fund’s
TIPS
position
detracted
from
performance
as
break-even
spreads
tightened
on
lower-than-expected
U.S.
inflation
readings
and
a
pullback
in
global
crude
prices
stemming
from
China’s
COVID-related
lockdowns.
We
exited
this

the
end

From
late

through

we
positioned
the

for
a
steeper
5-year/30-year
curve
segment
amid
signs
that
Fed
hawkishness
may
have
peaked.
However,
this
positioning
detracted
from
performance.
At
the
time,
higher-than-expected
inflation
data
and
hawkish
messaging
from
Fed
Chair
Jerome
Powell
led
investors
to
price
in
a
“higher
for
longer”
rate
regime
from
the
Fed,
and
a
resulting
surge
in
shorter-term
yields
caused
the
5-year/30-year
segment
to
invert.
(A
yield
curve
inversion
occurs
when
yields
on
shorter-term
securities
exceed
those
on
longer-term

and
is
considered
by
many

to
be
a
precursor
to
an
economic
recession.)
On
net,
our
tactical
adjustments
to
the
portfolio’s
duration—a
key
measure
of
interest
rate
sensitivity—contributed
to
relative
performance,
aided
by
our
accurate
forecasting
of
yield
changes
late
in
the

In

we
moved
from
a

to

EXAMPLE
As
a
mutual
fund
shareholder,
you
may
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
such
as
redemption
fees
or
sales
loads,
and
(2)
ongoing
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
fund
expenses.
The
following
example
is
intended
to
help
you
understand
your
ongoing
costs
(in
dollars)
of
investing
in
the
fund
and
to
compare
these
costs
with
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
other
mutual
funds.
The
example
is
based
on
an
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
most
recent
six-month
period
and
held
for
the
entire
period.
Please
note
that
the
fund
has
three
share
classes:
The
original
share
class
(Investor
Class)
charges
no
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fee,
I
Class
shares
are
also
available
to
institutionally
oriented
clients
and
impose
no
12b-1
or
administrative
fee
payment,
and
Z
Class
shares
are
offered
only
to
funds
advised
by
T.
Rowe
Price
and
other
advisory
clients
of
T.
Rowe
Price
or
its
affiliates
that
are
subject
to
a
contractual
fee
for
investment
management
services
and
impose
no
12b-1
fee
or
administrative
fee
payment.
Each
share
class
is
presented
separately
in
the
table.
Actual
Expenses
The
first
line
of
the
following
table
(Actual)
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
expenses
based
on
the
fund’s
actual
returns.
You
may
use
the
information
on
this
line,
together
with
your
account
balance,
to
estimate
the
expenses
that
you
paid
over
the
period.
Simply
divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(for
example,
an
$8,600
account
value
divided
by
$1,000
=
8.6),
then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
on
the
first
line
under
the
heading
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
to
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
on
your

during
this

Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
Purposes
The
information
on
the
second
line
of
the
table
(Hypothetical)
is
based
on
hypothetical
account
values
and
expenses
derived
from
the
fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
5%
per
year
rate
of
return
before
expenses
(not
the
fund’s
actual
return).
You
may
compare
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
fund
with
other
funds
by
contrasting
this
5%
hypothetical
example
and
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
the
other
funds.
The
hypothetical
account
values
and
expenses
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period.
Note:
T.
Rowe
Price
charges
an
annual
account
service
fee
of
$20,
generally
for
accounts
with
less
than
$10,000.
The
fee
is
waived
for
any
investor
whose
T.
Rowe
Price
mutual
fund
accounts
total
$50,000
or
more;
accounts
electing
to
receive
electronic
delivery
of
account
statements,
transaction
confirmations,
prospectuses,
and
shareholder
reports;
or
accounts
of
an
investor
who
is
a
T.
Rowe
Price
Personal
Services
or
Enhanced
Personal
Services
client
(enrollment
in
these
programs
generally
requires
T.
Rowe
Price
assets
of
at
least
$250,000).
This
fee
is
not
included
in
the
accompanying
table.
If
you
are
subject
to
the
fee,
keep
it
in
mind
when
you
are
estimating
the
ongoing
expenses
of
investing
in
the
fund
and
when
comparing
the
expenses
of
this
fund
with
other
funds.
You
should
also
be
aware
that
the
expenses
shown
in
the
table
highlight
only
your
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transaction
costs,
such
as
redemption
fees
or
sales
loads.
Therefore,
the
second
line
of
the
table
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only
and
will
not
help
you
determine
the
relative
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
To
the
extent
a
fund
charges
transaction
costs,
however,
the
total
cost
of
owning
that
fund
is
higher.

This
table
provides
returns
through
the
most
recent
calendar
quarter-end
rather
than
through
the
end
of
the
funds’
fiscal
period.
It
shows
how
the
funds
would
have
performed
each
year
if
their
actual
(or
cumulative)
returns
for
the
periods
shown
had
been
earned
at
a
constant
rate.
Average
annual
total
return
figures
include
changes
in
principal
value,
reinvested
dividends,
and
capital
gain
distributions.
Returns
do
not
reflect
taxes
that
the
shareholder
may
pay
on
fund
distributions
or
the
redemption
of
fund
shares.
When
assessing
performance,
investors
should
consider
both
short-
and
long-term
returns.
A
money
fund’s
yield
more
closely
represents
its
current
earnings
than
does
the
total
return.
a
In
an
effort
to
maintain
a
zero
or
positive
net
yield
for
the
fund,
T.
Rowe
Price
has
voluntarily
waived
all
or
a
portion
of
the
management
fee
it
is
entitled
to
receive
from
the
fund.
This
voluntary
waiver
is
in
addition
to
any
contractual
expense
ratio
limitation
in
effect
for
the
fund
and
may
be
amended
or
terminated
at
any
time
without
prior
notice.
A
fee
waiver
has
the
effect
of
increasing
the
fund’s
net
yield;
without
it,
the
fund’s
7-day
yield
would
have
been
lower.
Please
see
the
prospectus
for

details.

in
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
Topic
946
(ASC

with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(GAAP),
including,
but
not
limited
to,
ASC
946.
GAAP
requires
the
use
of
estimates
made
by
management.
Management
believes
that
estimates
and
valuations
are
appropriate;
however,
actual
results
may
differ
from
those
estimates,
and
the
valuations
reflected
in
the

may
differ
from
the

ultimately
realized
upon
sale
or

VALUATION
Fair
Value
The
fund’s
financial
instruments
are
valued
at
the
close
of
the
NYSE
and
are
reported
at
fair
value,
which
GAAP
defines
as
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date. The fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(the
Board)
has
designated
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
as
the
fund’s
valuation
designee
(Valuation
Designee).
Subject
to
oversight
by
the
Board,
the
Valuation
Designee
performs
the
following
functions
in
performing
fair
value
determinations:
assesses
and
manages
valuation
risks;
establishes
and
applies
fair
value
methodologies;
tests
fair
value
methodologies;
and
evaluates
pricing
vendors
and
pricing
agents.
The
duties
and
responsibilities
of
the
Valuation
Designee
are
performed
by
its
Valuation
Committee. The
Valuation
Designee provides
periodic
reporting
to
the
Board
on
valuation
matters.
Various
valuation
techniques
and
inputs
are
used
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments.
GAAP
establishes
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy
that
categorizes
the
inputs
used
to
measure
fair
value:
Level
1
–
quoted
prices
(unadjusted)
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
that
the
fund
can
access
at
the
reporting
date
Level
2
–
inputs
other
than
Level
1
quoted
prices
that
are
observable,
either
directly
or
indirectly
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments
in
active
markets,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
financial
instruments
in
inactive
markets,
interest
rates
and
yield
curves,
implied
volatilities,
and
credit
spreads)
Level
3
–
unobservable
inputs
(including
the Valuation
Designee’s assumptions
in
determining
fair
value)
Observable
inputs
are
developed
using
market
data,
such
as
publicly
available
information
about
actual
events
or
transactions,
and
reflect
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
to
price
the
financial
instrument.
Unobservable
inputs
are
those
for
which
market
data
are
not
available
and
are
developed
using
the
best
information
available
about
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
to
price
the
financial
instrument.
GAAP
requires
valuation
techniques
to
maximize
the
use
of
relevant
T.
ROWE
PRICE
U.S.
Treasury
Intermediate
Index
Fund
observable
inputs
and
minimize
the
use
of
unobservable
inputs.
When
multiple
inputs
are
used
to
derive
fair
value,
the
financial
instrument
is
assigned
to
the
level
within
the
fair
value
hierarchy
based
on
the
lowest-level
input
that
is
significant
to
the
fair
value
of
the
financial
instrument.
Input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level
but
rather
the
degree
of
judgment
used
in
determining
those
values.
Valuation
Techniques
Debt
securities
generally
are
traded
in
the over-the-counter
(OTC)
market
and
are
valued
at
prices
furnished
by
independent
pricing
services
or
by
broker
dealers
who
make
markets
in
such
securities.
When
valuing
securities,
the
independent
pricing
services
consider
the
yield
or
price
of
bonds
of
comparable
quality,
coupon,
maturity,
and
type,
as
well
as
prices
quoted
by
dealers
who
make
markets
in
such
securities.
Investments
in
mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
mutual
fund’s
closing
NAV
per
share
on
the
day
of
valuation.
Futures
contracts
are
valued
at
closing
settlement
prices.
Assets
and
liabilities
other
than
financial
instruments,
including
short-term
receivables
and
payables,
are
carried
at
cost,
or
estimated
realizable
value,
if
less,
which
approximates
fair
value.
Investments
for
which
market
quotations are
not
readily
available
or
deemed
unreliable
are
valued
at
fair
value
as
determined
in
good
faith
by
the
Valuation
Designee.
The
Valuation
Designee
has
adopted
methodologies
for
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
or
deemed
unreliable,
including
the
use
of
other
pricing
sources.
Factors
used
in
determining
fair
value
vary
by
type
of
investment
and
may
include
market
or
investment
specific
considerations.
The
Valuation
Designee typically
will
afford
greatest
weight
to
actual
prices
in
arm’s
length
transactions,
to
the
extent
they
represent
orderly
transactions
between
market
participants,
transaction
information
can
be
reliably
obtained,
and
prices
are
deemed
representative
of
fair
value.
However,
the
Valuation
Designee may
also
consider
other
valuation
methods
such
as
market-based
valuation
multiples;
a
discount
or
premium
from
market
value
of
a
similar,
freely
traded
security
of
the
same
issuer;
discounted
cash
flows;
yield
to
maturity;
or
some
combination.
Fair
value
determinations
are
reviewed
on
a
regular
basis.
Because
any
fair
value
determination
involves
a
significant
amount
of
judgment,
there
is
a
degree
of
subjectivity
inherent
in
such
pricing
decisions. Fair
value
prices
determined
by
the
Valuation
Designee could
differ
from
those
of
other
market
participants,
and
it
is
possible
that
the
fair
value
determined
for
a
security
may
be
materially
different
from
the
value
that
could
be
realized
upon
the
sale
of
that
security.

DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS
During
the
six
months ended
November
30,
2022,
the
fund
invested
in
derivative
instruments.
As
defined
by
GAAP,
a
derivative
is
a
financial
instrument
whose
value
is
derived
from
an
underlying
security
price,
foreign
exchange
rate,
interest
rate,
index
of
prices
or
rates,
or
other
variable;
it
requires
little
or
no
initial
investment
and
permits
or
requires
net
settlement.
The
fund
invests
in
derivatives
only
if
the
expected
risks
and
rewards
are
consistent
with
its
investment
objectives,
policies,
and
overall
risk
profile,
as
described
in
its
prospectus
and
Statement
of
Additional
Information.
The
fund
may
use
derivatives
for
a
variety
of
purposes
and
may
use
them
to
establish
both
long
and
short
positions
within
the
fund’s
portfolio.
Potential
uses
include
to
hedge
against
declines
in
principal
value,
increase
yield,
invest
in
an
asset
with
greater
efficiency
and
at
a
lower
cost
than
is
possible
through
direct
investment,
to
enhance
return,
or

The

associated
with
the

much
greater
than,
the
risks
associated
with
investing

The
fund
values
its

Accordingly,
the

does

accounting,
even
for

employed
as
economic
hedges.
Generally,
the
fund
accounts
for
its
derivatives
on
a

It
does
not
offset
the

Counterparty

invests
in
exchange-traded
and/or
centrally
cleared
derivative
contracts,
such
as
futures,
exchange-traded
options,
and
centrally
cleared
swaps.
Counterparty
risk
on
such
derivatives
is
minimal
because
the
clearinghouse
provides
protection
against
counterparty
defaults.
For
futures
and
centrally
cleared

the
fund
is
required
to
deposit
collateral
in
an
amount
specified
by
the
clearinghouse
and
the
clearing
firm
(margin
requirement),
and
the
margin
requirement
must
be
maintained
over
the
life
of
the
contract.
Each
clearinghouse
and
clearing
firm,
in
its
sole
discretion,
may
adjust
the
margin
requirements
applicable
to
the
fund.
Collateral may
be
in
the
form
of
cash
or
debt
securities
issued
by
the
U.S.

agencies.
Cash

OTHER
INVESTMENT
TRANSACTIONS
Consistent
with
its
investment
objective,
the
fund
engages
in
the
following
practices
to
manage
exposure
to
certain
risks
and/or
to
enhance
performance.
The
investment
objective,
policies,
program,
and
risk
factors
of
the
fund
are
described
more
fully
in
the
fund’s
prospectus
and
Statement
of
Additional
Information.
Mortgage-Backed
Securities
The
fund
invests
in
mortgage-backed
securities
(MBS
or
pass-through
certificates)
that
represent
an
interest
in
a
pool
of
specific
underlying
mortgage
loans
and
entitle
the
fund
to
the
periodic
payments
of
principal
and
interest
from
those
mortgages.
MBS
may
be
issued
by
government
agencies
or
corporations,
or
private
issuers.
Most
MBS
issued
by
government
agencies
are
guaranteed;
however,
the
degree
of
protection
differs
based
on
the
issuer.
MBS are
sensitive
to
changes
in
economic
conditions
that
affect
the
rate
of
prepayments
and
defaults
on
the
underlying
mortgages;
accordingly,
the
value,
income,
and
related
cash
flows
from
MBS
may
be
more
volatile
than
other
debt
instruments.
TBA
Purchase,
Sale
Commitments
and
Forward
Settling
Mortgage
Obligations
The
fund
enters
into
to-be-announced
(TBA)
purchase
or
sale
commitments
(collectively,
TBA
transactions),
pursuant
to
which
it
agrees
to
purchase
or
sell,
respectively,
mortgage-backed
securities
for
a
fixed
unit
price,
with
payment
and
delivery
at
a
scheduled
future
date
beyond
the
customary
settlement
period
for
such
securities.
With
TBA
transactions,
the
particular
securities
to
be
received
or
delivered
by
the
fund
are
not
identified
at
the
trade
date;
however,
the
securities
must
meet
specified
terms,
including
rate
and
mortgage
term,
and
be
within
industry-accepted
“good
delivery”
standards.
The
fund
may
enter
into
TBA
transactions
with
the
intention
of
taking
possession
of
or
relinquishing
the
underlying
securities,
may
elect
to
extend
the
settlement
by
“rolling”
the
transaction,
and/or
may
use
TBA
transactions
to
gain
or
reduce
interim
exposure
T.
ROWE
PRICE
U.S.
Treasury
Intermediate
Index
Fund
to
underlying
securities.
Until
settlement,
the
fund
maintains
liquid
assets
sufficient
to
settle
its
commitment
to
purchase
a
TBA
or,
in
the
case
of
a
sale
commitment,
the
fund
maintains
an
entitlement
to
the
security
to
be
sold.
To
mitigate
counterparty
risk,
the
fund
has
entered
into
Master
Securities
Forward
Transaction
Agreements
(MSFTA)
with
counterparties
that
provide
for
collateral
and
the
right
to
offset
amounts
due
to
or
from
those
counterparties
under
specified
conditions.
Subject
to
minimum
transfer
amounts,
collateral
requirements
are
determined
and
transfers
made
based
on
the
net
aggregate
unrealized
gain
or
loss
on
all
TBA
commitments
and
other
forward
settling
mortgage
obligations
with
a
particular
counterparty
(collectively,
MSFTA
Transactions).
At
any
time,
the
fund’s
risk
of
loss
from
a
particular
counterparty
related
to
its
MSFTA
Transactions
is
the
aggregate
unrealized
gain
on
appreciated
MSFTA
Transactions
in
excess
of
unrealized
loss
on
depreciated
MSFTA
Transactions
and
collateral
received,
if
any,
from
such
counterparty. As
of
November
30,
2022,
no
collateral
was
pledged
by
the
fund
or
counterparties
for
MSFTA
Transactions.
LIBOR
Transition
The fund
may
invest
in
instruments
that
are
tied
to
reference
rates,
including
LIBOR.
Over
the
course
of
the
last
several
years,
global
regulators
have
indicated
an
intent
to
phase
out
the
use
of
LIBOR
and
similar
interbank
offered
rates
(IBOR).
While
publication
for
most
LIBOR
currencies
and
lesser-used
USD
LIBOR
settings
ceased
immediately
after
December
31,
2021,
remaining
USD
LIBOR
settings
will
continue
to
be
published
until
June
30,
2023.
There
remains
uncertainty
regarding
the
future
utilization
of
LIBOR
and
the
nature
of
any
replacement
rate.
Any
potential
effects
of
the
transition
away
from
LIBOR
on
the fund,
or
on
certain
instruments
in
which
the fund
invests,
cannot
yet
be
determined.
The
transition
process
may
result
in,
among
other
things,
an
increase
in
volatility
or
illiquidity
of
markets
for
instruments
that
currently
rely
on
LIBOR,
a
reduction
in
the
value
of
certain
instruments
held
by
the fund,
or
a
reduction
in
the
effectiveness
of
related
fund
transactions
such
as
hedges.
Any
such
effects
could
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the fund's
performance.
Securities
Lending
The fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers
to
earn
additional
income.
Its
securities
lending
activities
are
administered
by
a
lending
agent
in
accordance
with
a
securities
lending
agreement.
Security
loans
generally
do
not
have
stated
maturity
dates,
and
the
fund
may
recall
a
security
at
any
time.
The
fund
receives
collateral
in
the
form
of
cash
or
U.S.
government
securities.
Collateral
is
maintained
over
the
life
of
the
loan
in
an
amount
not
less
than
the
value
of
loaned
securities;
any
additional
collateral
required
due
to
changes
in
security
values
is
delivered
to
the
fund
the
next
business
day.
Cash
collateral
is
invested
in
accordance
with
investment
guidelines
approved
by
fund
management.
Additionally,
the
lending
agent
indemnifies
the
fund
against
losses
resulting
from
borrower
default.

the
fund
could

a
possible
loss
of

or

if
the
borrower
fails
to
return
the
securities,
collateral
investments
decline
in
value,
and
the
lending

Securities

revenue
consists
of

net
of
any

OTHER
MATTERS
Unpredictable
events
such
as
environmental
or
natural
disasters,
war,
terrorism,
pandemics,
outbreaks
of
infectious
diseases,
and
similar
public
health
threats
may
significantly
affect
the
economy
and
the
markets
and
issuers
in
which
a
fund
invests.
Certain
events
may
cause
instability
across
global
markets,
including
reduced
liquidity
and
disruptions
in
trading
markets,
while
some
events
may
affect
certain
geographic
regions,
countries,
sectors,
and
industries
more
significantly
than
others,
and
exacerbate
other
pre-existing
political,
social,
and
economic
risks.
Since
2020,
a
novel
strain
of
coronavirus
(COVID-19)
has
resulted
in
disruptions
to
global
business
activity
and
caused
significant
volatility
and
declines
in
global
financial
markets.
In
February
2022,
Russian
forces
entered
Ukraine
and
commenced
an
armed
conflict
leading
to
economic
sanctions
being
imposed
on
Russia
and
certain
of
its
citizens,
creating
impacts
on
Russian-related
stocks
and
debt
and
greater
volatility
in
global
markets.
These
are
recent
examples
of
global
events
which
may
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
values
of
certain
portfolio
holdings
or
the
fund’s
overall
performance.
Management
is
actively
monitoring
the
risks
and
financial
impacts
arising
from
these
events.

LIQUIDITY
RISK
MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM
In
accordance
with
Rule
22e-4
(Liquidity
Rule)
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended,
the
fund
has
established
a
liquidity
risk
management
program
(Liquidity
Program)
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
the
fund’s
liquidity
risk,
which
generally
represents
the
risk
that
the
fund
would
not
be
able
to
meet
redemption
requests
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
fund.
The
fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(Board)
has
appointed
the
fund’s
investment
adviser,
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Adviser),
as
the
administrator
of
the
Liquidity
Program.
As
administrator,
the
Adviser
is
responsible
for
overseeing
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
Liquidity
Program
and,
among
other
things,
is
responsible
for
assessing,
managing,
and
reviewing
with
the
Board
at
least
annually
the
liquidity
risk
of
each
T.
Rowe
Price
fund.
The
Adviser
has
delegated
oversight
of
the
Liquidity
Program
to
a
Liquidity
Risk
Committee
(LRC),
which
is
a
cross-functional
committee
composed
of
personnel
from
multiple
departments
within
the
Adviser.
The
Liquidity
Program’s
principal
objectives
include
supporting
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds’
compliance
with
limits
on
investments
in
illiquid
assets
and
mitigating
the
risk
that
the
fund
will
be
unable
to
timely
meet
its
redemption
obligations.
The
Liquidity
Program
also
includes
a
number
of
elements
that
support
the
management
and
assessment
of
liquidity
risk,
including
an
annual
assessment
of
factors
that
influence
the
fund’s
liquidity
and
the
periodic
classification
and
reclassification
of
a
fund’s
investments
into
categories
that
reflect
the
LRC’s
assessment
of
their
relative
liquidity
under
current
market
conditions.
Under
the
Liquidity
Program,
every
investment
held
by
the
fund
is
classified
at
least
monthly
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories
based
on
estimations
of
the
investment’s
ability
to
be
sold
during
designated
time
frames
in
current
market
conditions
without
significantly
changing
the
investment’s
market
value.
As
required
by
the
Liquidity
Rule,
at
a
meeting
held
on
July
25,
2022,
the
Board
was
presented
with
an
annual
assessment
prepared
by
the
LRC,
on
behalf
of
the
Adviser,
that
addressed
the
operation
of
the
Liquidity
Program
and
assessed
its
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
implementation,
including
any
material
changes
to
the
Liquidity
Program
and
the
determination
of
each
fund’s
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
(HLIM).
The
annual
assessment
included
consideration
of
the
following
factors,
as
applicable:
the
fund’s
investment
strategy
and
liquidity
of
portfolio
investments
during
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions,
including
whether
the
investment
strategy
is
appropriate
for
an
open-end
fund,
the
extent
to
which
the
strategy
involves
a
relatively
concentrated
portfolio
or
large
positions
in
particular
issuers,
and
the
use
of
borrowings
for
investment
purposes
and
derivatives;
short-term
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections
covering
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions;
and
holdings
of
cash
and
cash
equivalents,
as
well
as
available
borrowing
arrangements.

ROWE
PRICE
U.S.

Fund
For
the
fund
and
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
the
annual
assessment
incorporated
a
report
related
to
a
fund’s
holdings,
shareholder
and
portfolio
concentration,
any
borrowings
during
the
period,
cash
flow
projections,
and
other
relevant
data
for
the
period
of
April
1,
2021,
through
March
31,
2022.
The
report
described
the
methodology
for
classifying
a
fund’s
investments
(including
any
derivative
transactions)
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories,
as
well
as
the
percentage
of
a
fund’s
investments
assigned
to
each
category.
It
also
explained
the
methodology
for
establishing
a
fund’s
HLIM
and
noted
that
the
LRC
reviews
the
HLIM
assigned
to
each
fund
no
less
frequently
than
annually.
During
the
period
covered
by
the
annual
assessment,
the
LRC
has
concluded,
and
reported
to
the
Board,
that
the
Liquidity
Program
continues
to
operate
adequately
and
effectively
and
is
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
the
fund’s
liquidity
risk.
