ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The Department of the
Treasury is amending regulations that
govern the acceptability and valuation
of collateral pledged to secure deposits
of public monies and other financial
interests of the government under
Treasury’s three Fiscal Service collateral
programs. This final rule is a
nonsubstantive, technical amendment
that updates a Web site and a postal
mailing address referenced in those
regulations.
DATES: Effective date: December 12,
2008.

final rule from the Bureau of the Public
Debt’s Web site at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of the Treasury
(‘‘Treasury’’) is amending 31 CFR part
380, which governs the acceptable types
of collateral and their assigned values
that may be pledged to secure deposits
of public monies and other financial
interests of the government under
Treasury’s Fiscal Service collateral
programs.
E:\FR\FM\12DER1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 240 / Friday, December 12, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
Treasury’s Fiscal Service administers
several financial programs that involve
the pledging of specific collateral. These
programs are described in, and governed
by, the regulations at 31 CFR part 202
(Depositaries and Financial Agents of
the Government), 31 CFR part 203
(Payment of Federal Taxes and the
Treasury Tax and Loan Program), and
31 CFR part 225 (Acceptance of Bonds
Secured by Government Obligations in
Lieu of Bonds with Sureties). The
Financial Management Service (‘‘FMS’’),
a bureau within Treasury’s Fiscal
Service, administers these programs,
which are handled operationally by the
Federal Reserve System, acting as fiscal
agent for Treasury. The Bureau of the
Public Debt (‘‘Public Debt’’), another
bureau within Treasury’s Fiscal Service,
administers 31 CFR part 380, which
governs the acceptability and valuation
of the collateral in these programs. The
Government Securities Regulations Staff
at Public Debt is responsible for
guidance and interpretations of those
regulations.
All information about the
acceptability and valuation of collateral
for these programs can be found on
Public Debt’s Web site. The Web site has
changed and it can now be accessed at
https://www.treasurydirect.gov instead of
its previous address, https://
www.publicdebt.treas.gov. Also, this
amendment updates Public Debt’s
postal mailing address.
II. Procedural Requirements
Executive Order 12866
This final rule is not subject to
Executive Order 12866 because it relates
only to Treasury’s organization,
specifically, the mailing address and
Web site URL for one of its bureaus.
mstockstill on PROD1PC62 with RULES
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
551 et seq.
The procedures for public notice and
comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), and the
delayed effective date requirement of 5
U.S.C. 553(d), do not apply when an
agency for good cause finds that the
procedures are unnecessary. This rule
does not promulgate any substantive
changes to the regulations being
amended. Rather, this rule merely
makes minor, technical changes,
specifically, updating the mailing
address and Web site address listed in
the regulations, that do not involve the
exercise of agency discretion and which
are unlikely to generate public
comment. Accordingly, Treasury finds
that good cause exists to dispense with
notice and comment procedures for this
rule, and to have the rule take

immediate effect, under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3).
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.
Because a notice of proposed
rulemaking is not required under 5
U.S.C. 553 for this rule, the Regulatory
Flexibility Act does not apply to this
rule.

32 CFR Part 706
Certifications and Exemptions Under
the International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972
Department of the Navy, DoD.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy
is amending its certifications and
exemptions under the International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at
Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), to reflect that
the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (Admiralty and Maritime Law)
of the Navy has determined that USS
SAN FRANCISCO (SSN 711) is a vessel
of the Navy which, due to its special
construction and purpose, cannot
comply fully with certain provisions of
the 72 COLREGS without interfering
with its special function as a naval ship.
The intended effect of this rule is to
warn mariners in waters where 72
COLREGS apply.
DATES: This rule is effective December
12, 2008 and is applicable beginning 20
November 2008.

Yard, DC 20374–5066, telephone
number: 202–685–5040.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C.
1605, the Department of the Navy
amends 32 CFR Part 706.
This amendment provides notice that
the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (Admiralty and Maritime Law)
of the Navy, under authority delegated
by the Secretary of the Navy, has
certified that USS SAN FRANCISCO
(SSN 711) is a vessel of the Navy which,
due to its special construction and
purpose, cannot comply fully with the
following specific provisions of 72
COLREGS without interfering with its
special function as a naval ship: Rule
21(a) pertaining to the location of the
masthead lights over the fore and aft
centerline of the ship. The Deputy
Assistant Judge Advocate General
(Admiralty and Maritime Law) has also
certified that the lights involved are
located in closest possible compliance
with the applicable 72 COLREGS
requirements.
Moreover, it has been determined, in
accordance with 32 CFR parts 296 and
701, that publication of this amendment
for public comment prior to adoption is
impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to public interest since it is
based on technical findings that the
placement of lights on this vessel in a
manner differently from that prescribed
herein will adversely affect the vessel’s
ability to perform its military functions.
