Secretary to collect an annual fee of not less than $25 for each Legacy 
Treasury Direct investor account, referred to in the regulations as a 
``securities account,'' with security holdings in excess of $100,000 in 
par value, to recover the costs of providing account services to Legacy 
Treasury Direct investors. The fee was set at that time at $25, and has 
not been increased since. This Notice increases the amount of the fee 
to $100. The $100 fee will more nearly offset the Bureau of the Public 
Debt's cost for maintaining Legacy Treasury Direct accounts.

Schedule of Fees for Legacy Treasury Direct Accounts

    The fee schedule for Legacy Treasury Direct securities accounts is 
as follows: beginning in 2008 and until further notice, the investor 
account maintenance fee for each Legacy Treasury Direct investor 
account holding Treasury securities that exceed $100,000 in par amount 
is $100.

    Dated: March 14, 2008.

Acting Fiscal Assistant Secretary.
