Ok, this is my own question. This is what I came up with. can anyone confirm or correct?
Maturity r = RR + IP
1-YEAR 2.25% = 1.5% + X
2.25% - 1.5% = .75%

What are the determinants of market interest rates?
rd - Quoted or nominal rate of interest on a given security. there are many different securities, hence many different quoted interest rates.r* - real risk-free rate of interest, which represents the rate that would exist on a riskless security if zero inflation were expected.IP - Inflation premium is equal to the average expected inflation rate over the life of the security. The expected future inflation rate is not necessarily equal to the current inflation rate, so IP is not necessarily equal to current inflation.rRF - r* + IP and it is the quoted risk-free rate of interest on a security such as U.S. Treasury bill, which is very liquid and also free of most risks.DRP - default risk premium reflects the possibility that the issuer will not pay interest or principal at the stated time and in the stated amount. DRP rises as the riskiness of issuers increases.LP - Liquidity premium that is charged by lenders to reflect the fact that some securities can't be converted to cash on short notice at "reasonable" price. LP is very low for Treasury securities and for securities issued by large strong firms, but it is relatively high on securities issued by small firms.MRP - Maturity risk premium is charged by lenders to reflect the risk of price declines.
Other things remain constant if the expected inflation rate decreases and investors also become more risk averse the security market line would shift?

What government security pays a fixed rate of interest every six months until they mature in two to ten years?
Treasury notes
What has the US Treasury department done to make their notes more attractive to buyers?
The Treasury Department recently introduced Floating Rate Notes (FRN) that have a two year maturity. The interest on the FRN is adjusted weekly based on the rate of newly issued 13 week Treasury bills which are auctioned each week. The FRNs pay interest every three months but the rate is currently very low since the short end of the treasury yield curve is close to zero percent. Individual investors can purchase FRNs directly from the government by setting up an account with the Treasury Department. The FRN would appeal to investors expecting a big increase in interest rates over the short term. In addition to being considered risk free, the interest paid on U.S. Government debt obligations is exempt from state and local taxes. Things move slowly at the U.S. Treasury and the FRN is the first new debt security offering from the Treasury since 1997 when Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) were introduced.
