The Treasury Department was created by act of September 2, 1789 (31 U.S.C. 301 and 301 note). Many subsequent acts have figured in the development of the Department, delegating new duties to its charge and establishing the numerous bureaus and divisions that now comprise the Treasury.

The Secretary also oversees the activities of the Department in carrying out its major law enforcement responsibility; in serving as the financial agent for the U.S. Government; and in manufacturing coins, currency, and other products for customer agencies. The Secretary also serves as the Government's chief financial officer. Activities Economic Policy The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy assists policymakers in the determination of economic policies. The Office: --reviews and analyzes domestic and international economic issues and developments in the financial markets; --assists in the development of official economic projections; and --works closely with Federal Government agencies to develop economic forecasts underlying the yearly budget process. Enforcement The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement coordinates Treasury law enforcement matters, including the formulation of policies for Treasury enforcement activities, and cooperates on law enforcement matters with other Federal agencies.

Fiscal Affairs The Office of the Fiscal Assistant Secretary supervises the administration of the Government's fiscal affairs. It manages the cash position of [[Page 337]] [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] T189864.041 [[Page 338]] the Treasury and projects and monitors ``debt subject-to-limit;'' directs the performance of the fiscal agency functions of the Federal Reserve Banks; conducts governmentwide accounting and cash management activities; exercises supervision over depositories of the United States; and provides management overview of investment practices for Government trust and other accounts. International Affairs The Office of the Assistant Secretary for International Affairs advises and assists policymakers in the formulation and execution of policies dealing with international financial, economic, monetary, trade, investment, environmental, and energy policies and programs. The work of the Office is organized into groups responsible for monetary and financial policy; international development, debt, and environmental policy; trade and investment policy; economic and financial technical assistance; and geographical areas (Asia, the Americas, Africa, Eurasia, and the Middle East).

Treasurer of the United States The Office of the Treasurer of the United States was established on September 6, 1777. The Treasurer was originally charged with the receipt and custody of Government funds, but many of these functions have been assumed by different bureaus of the Department of the Treasury. In 1981, the Treasurer was assigned responsibility for oversight of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the United States Mint. The Treasurer reports to the Secretary through the Assistant Secretary for Management/Chief Financial Officer. Treasury Inspector General The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) was established in January 1999, in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, to provide independent oversight of the Internal Revenue Service programs and activities. TIGTA is charged with monitoring the Nation's taxlaws to ensure the IRS acts with efficiency, economy, and effectiveness toward program accomplishment; ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations, preventing, detecting, and deterring [[Page 339]] fraud,waste, and abuse; investigating activities or allegations related to fraud, waste, and abuse by IRS personnel; and protecting the IRS against attempts to corrupt or threaten its employees.

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms The mission of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) is to reduce violent crime, collect revenue, and protect the public through criminal law enforcement, regulatory enforcement, and tax collection. The Bureau was established by Department of Treasury Order No. 221, effective July 1, 1972, which transferred the functions, powers, and duties arising under laws relating to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives from the Internal Revenue Service to the Bureau. Responsibilities regarding enforcement of interstate trafficking laws in contraband cigarettes, combating commercial arson, and enforcement of laws pertaining to the transfer of handguns have also been assigned to ATF. The Bureau is responsible for enforcing and administering firearms and explosives laws, as well as those covering the production, taxation, and distribution of alcohol and tobacco products. The Bureau's objectives are to maximize compliance with and investigate violations of these laws. In collaborative partnerships with government agencies, industry, academia, and others, ATF works to reduce crime and violence by safeguarding the public from arson and explosives incidents, denying criminals access to firearms, removing violent offenders from communities, and preventing violence through community outreach; and to maintain a sound revenue management and regulatory system which reduces the burden on industry, collects revenues which are rightfully due, and uses electronic commerce. ATF also works to protect the public and prevent consumer deception by assuring the integrity of the products, people, and companies in the marketplace; ensuring compliance with laws and regulations through education, inspection, and investigations; and informing the public about ATF regulations and product safety using various media.

It supports other Federal agencies by serving as the Government's primary disbursing agent; collections agent; accountant and reporter of financial information; and collector of delinquent Federal debt. Accounting The Service gathers and publishes Governmentwide financial information that is used by the public and private sectors to monitor the Government's financial status and [[Page 343]] establish fiscal and monetary policies. These publications include the Daily Treasury Statement, the Monthly Treasury Statement, the Treasury Bulletin, the U.S. Government Annual Report, and the Financial Report of the U.S. Government, which is the Federal Government's first set of audited financial statements, a requirement of the Government Management and Reform Act of 1994. Collections FMS administers the world's largest collection system, gathering more than $2 trillion annually through a network of more than 10,000 financial institutions. It also manages the collection of Federal revenues such as individual and corporate income tax deposits, customs duties, loan repayments, fines, and proceeds from leases. In September 2001, FMS and IRS launched the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System(www.eftps.gov), which allows individuals and businesses to pay Federal taxes via the Internet. EFTPS-OnLine also provides such features as an instant, printable acknowledgement for documenting each transaction, the ability to schedule advance payments, and access to payment history. The Treasury Offset Program is one of the methods used to collect delinquent debt. FMS uses the program to withhold Federal payments, such as Federal income tax refunds, Federal salary payments, and Social Security benefits, to recipients with delinquent debts, including past- due child support obligations and Federal income tax debt. Electronic Commerce Through its electronic money program, FMS tests new payments and collection technologies using the Internet and card technology, as well as related technologies such as digital signatures and biometrics. FMS has initiated electronic money pilot programs to help Federal agencies modernize their payments and collection activities. Examples of these programs include stored-value cards used on military bases and in Government hospitals, electronic checks, point- of-sale check truncations, and the Internet credit card collection program. Payments Each year, FMS issues nearly 950 million non-defense payments, with a dollar value of more than $1.2 trillion, to a wide variety of recipients, such as those who receive Social Security, IRS tax refunds, and veterans' benefits. For FY 2001, 72 percent of these transactions were issued by electronic funds transfer. The remainder of FMS payments are disbursed by check.
