Abstract: This final rule revises Treasury's regulations governing

maintained in electronic format and for making certain records and
information available on the Internet. The final rule addresses
requests for expedited processing, unusual circumstances, and multi-
track processing. Numerous editorial changes have been made to provide
clarity, eliminate redundancy, and reflect organizational and
procedural changes.

SECOND FIFTY LARGEST INSURED NATIONAL BANKS
Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 31 USC 321; PL 106-102, sec 121, Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act
CFR Citation: 12 CFR 1501
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This interim final rule implements section 121 of the Gramm-
Leach-Bliley Act, Public Law 106-102, which authorizes national banks
to conduct expanded financial activities through financial subsidiaries
if they satisfy requirements specified in the GLBA. The rule sets forth
a comparable criterion for national banks among the second 50 largest
insured banks that is the equivalent of the GLBA rating criterion
applicable to national banks among the top 50 largest insured banks.
The comparable criterion is the ``long-term issuer credit rating,''
which provides a rating for a bank's long-term overall capacity to meet
its financial obligations. National banks can meet this criterion by
having a long-term issuer credit rating in the top three investment
grade ratings categories from at least one independent rating agency.

merchant and investment banking activities by describing the types of
investments permissible, the means by which investments may be made
(i.e., directly or through a private equity fund), the limitations on
such investments, and reporting and record-keeping requirements.
(Reporting and record-keeping are required by the Board, which
supervises financial holding companies.)

Government effort. It will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or
duplication, or streamline requirements.
Legal Authority: 12 USC 1441b; PL 105-216, sec 14(d)
CFR Citation: 12 CFR 1510
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This interim final rule revises the regulation governing the
operations of the Resolution Funding Corporation (Funding Corporation).
The Funding Corporation is a mixed-ownership government corporation
which, among other things, pays interest on certain debt obligations
that it issued to finance resolution of the savings and loan crisis in
the late 1980's. Congress recently transferred oversight of the Funding
Corporation to the Secretary of the Treasury and made changes affecting
how the Funding Corporation funds interest payments. The revisions in
the interim final rule implement these changes and generally streamline
the regulation by eliminating provisions that are no longer necessary.

financial in nature or incidental to activities financial in nature,
and therefore permissible activities for financial subsidiaries of

determine whether an activity is financial in nature or incidental to a
financial activity.

Abstract: 31 CFR part 245 governs the issuance of replacement checks
for checks drawn on the United States Treasury when (1) the original
check has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated or defaced to such
an extent that it is rendered non-negotiable; (2) the original check
has been negotiated and paid on a forged or unauthorized indorsement;
and (3) the original check has been cancelled pursuant to 31 CFR part
240. The regulation is being revised to update the regulation's
definitions to make them consistent with the language of the proposed
revisions to the definitions in 31 CFR part 240. Other revisions will
govern the use of the Check Forgery Insurance Fund (Fund). The Fund is
a revolving fund established to settle payee claims of non-receipt
where the original check has been fraudulently negotiated. The Fund
ensures that innocent payees, whose Treasury checks have been
fraudulently cashed, receive replacement checks in a timely manner.

Abstract: The first notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM I) is a
reissuance of the NPRM published on 9/21/95. The 9/21/95 notice
proposed to fix the time by which Treasury can decline payment on
Treasury checks, provide financial institutions with a date certain for
final payments, and provide greater clarity by defining previously
undefined terms. Finally, that notice proposed that the Department of
the Treasury may instruct Federal Reserve Banks to intercept benefit
payment checks to deceased payees and to return, unpaid, those checks.
NPRM I will announce the Department of the Treasury's intent that this
regulation supersede Federal common law regarding the risk of loss on
checks containing forged disbursing officer signatures, such as
counterfeits. The second notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM II) will
further amend this regulation to implement provisions of the Debt
Collection Improvement Act of 1996 authorizing the collection of debts
owed by presenting banks through Treasury Check Offset. Among other
things, NPRM II will broaden the use of powers of attorney for purposes
of negotiating Treasury checks.

Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This regulation governs the procedure for securing payment
for money judgments against the United States. The proposed revision
will update the procedure for making claims. This will benefit
claimants and others in understanding the claims process. This
regulation currently describes a process that involves the General
Accounting Office (GAO) and the Treasury Department. The change would
eliminate the GAO from this description to reflect legislative
[[Page 23305]]
amendments that effect this change. Also, the regulation currently
identifies monetary thresholds that no longer exist. The change would
reflect the removal of these monetary limitations and the resulting
submission requirements. These changes in the regulation would make it
consistent with current practices for claimants securing money
judgments against the United States.

CFR Citation: 31 CFR 900 to 904

Abstract: The Federal Claims Collection Standards prescribe basic
standards for Federal agencies for collection of non-tax claims. The
current standards originally were published in 1984 jointly by the
Department of Justice and the General Accounting Office at 4 CFR parts
101-105. The Department of the Treasury has been added as a co-signor
by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (Act) and the General
Accounting Office was removed as a co-signor by the General Accounting
Office Act of 1996. This revision, which will move the standards to 31
CFR parts 900-904, is being made to simplify the language of the
current standards and to incorporate changes made by the Act concerning
such topics as disbursing official offset, cross-servicing of debts,
interest and penalties on claims, and contracts for collection
services.

Abstract: This rule proposes to change the Treasury Tax and Loan (TT&L)
interest rate from the Federal funds rate, less 25 basis points, to the
overnight repurchase agreement rate. The prevailing overnight rate in
the repurchase market has closely tracked the Federal funds rate on
average during the last two years. Based on these statistics, using the
overnight repurchase agreement rate would compensate the Treasury
adequately for the use of the TT&L note balances on a basis which is
similar to the market interest rate for collateralized lending.

Abstract: ATF proposes changes to the distilled spirits plant
regulations to implement the Administration's Reinventing Government
effort to reduce the regulatory burden and streamline requirements. ATF
believes these proposed changes will benefit distilled spirits plant
proprietors and other industry members by enabling them to operate more
easily and with less regulatory oversight from the Government. ATF is
also requesting comments on the possibility of revising the distilled
spirits plant recordkeeping requirements to accomplish the Government's
goals through a system that would be based, as much as possible, on
proprietors' own recordkeeping methods.

provide proof of residency through the use of substantiating
documentation, such as utility bills or a lease agreement. In addition,
the regulations are being amended to require that licensees examine a
photo identification document from aliens purchasing firearms. These

firearms initiatives intended to protect the American public from gun
violence.
