Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 8, 2011, U.S. Bancorp (the "Company") completed the previously announced redemption of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% trust preferred securities of USB Capital VII (the "Trust Preferred Securities"). This redemption resulted in the redesignation of the series of covered debt benefiting from certain of the Company’s replacement capital covenants, as may be amended from time to time (together, the "Replacement Capital Covenants"), executed (i) December 29, 2005, relating to and in connection with USB Capital VIII’s issuance of 6.35% Trust Preferred Securities, (ii) March 17, 2006, relating to and in connection with USB Capital IX’s issuance of 6.189% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Normal Income Trust Securities, (iii) March 27, 2006, relating to and in connection with the Company’s issuance of depositary shares representing a 1/1,000th interest in a share of Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, (iv) April 12, 2006, relating to and in connection with USB Capital X’s issuance of 6.50% Trust Preferred Securities, (v) August 30, 2006, relating to and in connection with USB Capital XI’s issuance of 6.60% Trust Preferred Securities, (vi) February 1, 2007, relating to and in connection with USB Capital XII’s issuance of 6.30% Trust Preferred Securities, (vii) March 17, 2008, relating to and in connection with the Company’s issuance of depositary shares representing a 1/1,000th interest in a share of Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, and (viii) June 10, 2010, relating to and in connection with the Company’s issuance of depositary shares, each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. Additional information with respect to the terms of the Replacement Capital Covenants is summarized in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 28, 2011, and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8 K, filed with the SEC on June 3, 2011.

The Company’s 5.875% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2035 underlying the Trust Preferred Securities (the "5.875% Debentures") are currently designated as the covered debt under each of the Replacement Capital Covenants. As a result of the Company’s redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities and the underlying 5.875% Debentures, the 5.875% Debentures ceased being the covered debt under each Replacement Capital Covenant, effective as of September 8, 2011.

Effective as of September 8, 2011, (i) the Company’s 6.625% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2039, underlying the 6.625% Trust Preferred Securities of USB Capital XIII (CUSIP No. 90344NAA3) became the covered debt with respect to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Replacement Capital Covenants for USB Capital VIII, USB Capital IX, USB Capital X and the Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, and (ii) the Company’s 1.125% Medium-Term Notes, Series R, due 2013 (CUSIP No. 91159HGZ7) became the covered debt with respect to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Replacement Capital Covenants for USB Capital XI, USB Capital XII, the Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and the Series D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock.

Certain of the Replacement Capital Covenants and related amendments are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
