FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Sharer or Kristina Yeh, Bureau of the Public Debt, Department of the Treasury at (202) 504–3550. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Treasury has established a fee structure for the transfer of Treasury book-entry securities maintained on NBES. Treasury reassesses this fee structure periodically, based on our review of the latest book-entry costs and volumes. For each Treasury securities transfer or reversal sent or received on or after January 3, 2012, the basic fee will increase from $0.38 to $0.48. The Federal Reserve will also increase its fee for Federal Reserve funds movement from $0.07 to $0.09. This will result in a combined fee of $0.57 for each transfer of Treasury book-entry securities. The surcharge for an off-line Treasury bookentry securities transfer will increase from $33.00 to $40.00. Off-line refers to the sending and receiving of transfer messages to or from a Reserve Bank by means other than on-line access such as by written, facsimile, or telephone voice instruction. The basic transfer fee assessed to both sends and receives is reflective of costs associated with the processing of securities transfers. The off-line surcharge reflects the additional processing costs associated with the manual processing of off-line securities transfers. Treasury does not charge a fee for account maintenance, the stripping and reconstitution of Treasury securities, the wires associated with original issues, or interest and redemption payments. Treasury currently absorbs these costs. The fees described in this notice apply only to the transfer of Treasury book-entry securities held on NBES. Information concerning fees for bookentry transfers of Government Agency securities, which are priced by the Federal Reserve System, is set out in a separate Federal Register notice published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The following is the Treasury fee schedule that will take effect on January 3, 2012, for book-entry transfers on NBES: TREASURY-NBES FEE SCHEDULE 1—EFFECTIVE JANUARY 3, 2012 [In dollars] Transfer type On-line On-line On-line On-line Off-line Off-line Off-line Off-line Off-line Basic fee transfer originated ....................................................................................................... transfer received ......................................................................................................... reversal transfer originated ......................................................................................... reversal transfer received ........................................................................................... transfer originated ....................................................................................................... transfer received ......................................................................................................... account switch received .............................................................................................. reversal transfer originated ......................................................................................... reversal transfer received ........................................................................................... 0.48 0.48 0.48 0.48 0.48 0.48 0.48 0.48 0.48 Off-line surcharge Funds 2 movement fee N/A N/A N/A N/A 40.00 40.00 0.00 40.00 40.00 0.09 0.09 0.09 0.09 0.09 0.09 0.09 0.09 0.09 Total fee 0.57 0.57 0.57 0.57 40.57 40.57 0.57 40.57 40.57 1 Treasury does not charge a fee for account maintenance, the stripping and reconstituting of Treasury securities, the wires associated with original issues, or interest and redemption payments.
