CFR Citation: 31 CFR 245
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: Title 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. This 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.

of the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984. This regulation also incorporates
revisions authorized by the Cash Management
[[Page 33582]]

These revisions require executive agencies to use effective, efficient
disbursement mechanisms, principally EFT, in the delivery of payments.
An agency's failure to comply with this regulation may result in a
charge equal to the cost of such non-compliance to the Treasury's
General Fund.

Abstract: Notice of proposed rulemaking II (NPRM II) was a reissuance
of NPRM I published on 9/21/95, which 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. NPRM I also
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. In addition to the revisions
proposed in NPRM I, NPRM II announced 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 Interim Final Rule will 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. NPRM III is a reissuance of NPRM II and will
address, at a minimum, the issues in NPRMs I and II.

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 will
eliminate the GAO from this description to reflect legislative
amendments that effect this change. Also, the regulation currently
identifies monetary thresholds that no longer exist. The change will
reflect the removal of these monetary limitations and the resulting
submission requirements. These changes in the regulation will make it
consistent with current practices for claimants securing money
judgments against the United States.

Abstract: The temporary rule prescribes ATF regulations relating to a

rule prescribes the regulations that allow a manufacturer of tobacco
products or cigarette papers and tubes and an export warehouse
proprietor to send such articles to a class 9 customs bonded warehouse.
In addition, the temporary rule prescribes regulations that allow a
proprietor of a customs bonded manufacturing warehouse where cigars are
manufactured to send such cigars to a class 9 customs bonded warehouse.
This notice of proposed rulemaking invites comments on the temporary
rule.
