DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
31 CFR Subtitle A, Chs. I and II
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 (Pub. L. 96-354, September 19, 1980) and
Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review,''
September 30, 1993), 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: On November 25, 2002, the President signed
the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (the Act), establishing the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The Act transferred the U.S.
Customs Service from the Department of the Treasury to the DHS, where
it is now known as the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.
Notwithstanding the transfer of the Customs Service to DHS, the Act
provides that the Secretary of the Treasury retains sole legal
authority over the customs revenue functions, and authorizes the
Secretary to delegate any of this retained authority to the Secretary
of Homeland Security. By Treasury Department Order No. 100-16, the
Secretary of the Treasury delegated to the Secretary of Homeland
Security authority to prescribe regulations pertaining to the customs
revenue functions. This Order further provided that the Secretary of
the Treasury retained the sole authority to approve any such
regulations concerning import quotas or trade bans; user fees; marking
and labeling; copyright and trademark enforcement; and the completion
of entry or substance of entry summary, including duty assessment and
collection, classification, valuation, application of the U.S.
Harmonized Schedules, eligibility or requirements for preferential
trade programs, and the establishment of recordkeeping requirements.
Accordingly, these regulations are now listed in the semiannual
regulatory agenda of the Departmental Offices of the Department of the
Treasury. Because of limitations in the computer software used to
prepare the agenda, the agency information under the heading ``For
Further Information Contact'' for these regulations incorrectly
indicates the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection contact person is
an employee of the Department of the Treasury rather than the
Department of Homeland Security.
The semiannual agenda and The Regulatory Plan of the
Department of the Treasury conform to the Unified Agenda format
developed by the Regulatory Information Service Center (RISC).
Dated: May 28, 2004.
Richard S. Carro,
Senior Advisor to the General Counsel for Regulatory Affairs.

amended to no longer require the merchandise to be labeled as seized
and detained for the principal to be required to obtain permission from
CBP prior to placing the merchandise on board a conveyance for export
or otherwise disposing of the merchandise. Instead of the condition
being applicable when CBP labels merchandise, the condition would be
applicable when CBP notifies the principal either in writing or
electronically that the merchandise has been seized or detained.

Abstract: Amendment to reflect CBP's planned centralization of the
continuous bond program at the National Finance Center (NFC). Pursuant
to this centralization, all continuous bonds would be filed at the NFC
via mail, fax, or in an electronic format. The NFC would assume most of
the bond functions previously performed at the port level, with the
noted exception that the authority to approve single transaction bonds
will remain with port directors. These changes would support CBP's bond
program by ensuring an efficient and uniform approach to the approval,
maintenance, and periodic review of continuous bonds.

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 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
nonreceipt 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. The
NPRM is on hold pending implementation of the Expanded Check Forgery
Insurance Fund Legislation (CFIF) and the Treasury Check Information
System (TCIS).

Abstract: This regulation governs collection and deposit regulations
requiring timely methods, principally Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT),
for the collection and deposit of funds as authorized by section 2652
of the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984. This regulation also incorporates
revisions authorized by the Cash Management Act of 1990 and the Cash
Management Improvement Act Amendments of 1992. 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 noncompliance to the Treasury's General Fund.

USC 1304
CFR Citation: 31 CFR 256
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This regulation governs the procedures for securing payment
for money judgments against the United States. The proposed revision
will update these procedures. This revision will benefit claimants and
others in understanding the judgment payment process. This regulation
currently describes a process that involves the General Accounting
Office (GAO) and the Treasury Department. The revision will remove 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. These revisions will make the regulation
consistent with current procedures for securing payment of money
judgments against the United States.
