Semiannual Agenda

AGENCY: Department of the Treasury.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is given pursuant to the requirements of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act and Executive Order 12866 (``Regulatory 
Planning and Review''), which require the publication by the Department 
of a semiannual agenda of regulations.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Agency contact identified in the 
item relating to that regulation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The semiannual regulatory agenda includes 
regulations that the Department has issued or expects to issue and 
rules currently in effect that are under departmental or bureau review.
    Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, the internet has been the 
primary medium for disseminating the Unified Agenda. The complete 
Unified Agenda will be available online at www.reginfo.gov and 
www.regulations.gov, in a format that offers users an enhanced ability 
to obtain information from the Agenda database. Because publication in 
the Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agenda 
required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), Treasury's 
printed agenda entries include only:
    (1) Rules that are in the regulatory flexibility agenda, in 
accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they are likely 
to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities; and
    (2) Rules that have been identified for periodic review under 
section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain 
information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's Agenda 
requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in 
the Unified Agenda available on the internet.
    The semiannual agenda of the Department of the Treasury conforms to 
the Unified Agenda format developed by the Regulatory Information 
Service Center (RISC).

 Michael Briskin,
Deputy Assistant General Counsel for General Law and Regulation.
