USC 3702; 31 USC 3712
CFR Citation: 31 CFR 245
Legal Deadline: None
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.

USC 3720B; 31 USC 3716
CFR Citation: 31 CFR 900 to 904
Legal Deadline: None
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.

address where national banks and the public may obtain the Form.
