Designation of 4 Individuals and 2
Entities Pursuant to Executive Order
13224 of September 23, 2001,
‘‘Blocking Property and Prohibiting
Transactions With Persons Who
Commit, Threaten To Commit, or
Support Terrorism’’
ADDRESSES:
D. Michael Linder, Director, Division of
Program Administration, Office of

Debt, at (304) 480–6319 or

the Public Debt, at (304) 480–8692 or
.
Beginning
October 1, 1988, Treasury permitted
paying agents to transmit and receive
settlement for redeemed definitive
savings bonds and savings notes
through the EZ CLEAR system. The EZ
CLEAR system required paying agents to
manually sort and mail definitive
savings bonds and savings notes to the
appropriate Federal Reserve Bank or
Branch. Treasury paid paying agents a
30-cent fee for each redeemed definitive
savings bond or savings note presented
through the EZ CLEAR system.
Effective April 11, 2012, paying
agents will begin to transition the
submission of redeemed definitive
savings bonds and savings notes from
the EZ CLEAR process to an existing
image-based process through the
Federal Reserve. This simple and
modern process allows paying agents to
electronically transmit images of
redeemed definitive savings bonds and
savings notes to a Federal Reserve
Processing Site for payment. Because
the new process removes the manual
sorting and mailing required by the
former process, Treasury is eliminating
the fee that it paid to paying agents for
submitting redeemed definitive savings
bonds and notes. The elimination of
paying agent fees will result in
significant program savings.
This fee change is consistent with 31
CFR 321.23, which makes discretionary
Treasury’s payment of fees to paying
agents for the processing of redeemed
definitive savings bonds and savings
notes. Therefore, notice is hereby given
that, effective April 11, 2012, Treasury
will no longer pay fees to paying agents
for the redemption of definitive savings
bonds and savings notes.
