NOTE 9. DEBT
Loans Payable and Commercial Paper
Loans payable, commercial paper and the related weighted-average interest rates were as follows:
In millions March 31,
2024		 December 31,
2023
Loans payable (1)
$ 342  $ 280 
Commercial paper (2)

(1) Loans payable consist primarily of notes payable to various domestic and international financial institutions. It is not practicable to aggregate these notes and calculate a quarterly weighted-average interest rate.
(2) The weighted-average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was 5.23 percent and 5.43 percent at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
We can issue up to $4.0 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board of Directors authorized commercial paper programs. These programs facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third-party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes.
Revolving Credit Facilities
Our committed credit facilities provide access up to $4.0 billion, including our $2.0 billion 364-day facility that expires June 3, 2024, and our $2.0 billion five-year facility that expires on August 18, 2026. We intend to maintain credit facilities at the current or higher aggregate amounts by renewing or replacing these facilities at or before expiration. These revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, the $609 million of outstanding commercial paper effectively reduced the $4.0 billion of revolving credit capacity to $3.4 billion.
At March 31, 2024, we also had an additional $396 million available for borrowings under our international and other domestic credit facilities.
