SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal law requires that interest payments 
on cash deposited to secure immigration bonds shall be ``at a rate 
determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, except that in no case 
shall the interest rate exceed 3 per centum per annum.'' 8 U.S.C. 
1363(a). Related Federal regulations state that ``Interest on cash 
deposited to secure immigration bonds will be at the rate as determined 
by the Secretary of the Treasury, but in no case will exceed 3 per 
centum per annum or be less than zero.'' 8 CFR 293.2. Treasury has 
determined that interest on the bonds will vary quarterly and will 
accrue during each calendar quarter at a rate equal to the lesser of 
the average of the bond equivalent rates on 91-day Treasury bills 
auctioned during the preceding calendar quarter, or 3 per centum per 
annum, but in no case less than zero. [FR Doc. 2015-18545] In addition 
to this Notice, Treasury posts the current quarterly rate in Table 2b--
Interest Rates for Specific Legislation on the TreasuryDirect website.
