distilled spirits, other than those used
for certain authorized industrial or
nonbeverage purposes, produced or

safeguard the revenue from this tax and

issue regulations relating to the location,
construction, and arrangement of
distilled spirits plants (DSPs), including
requirements for the identification of
their distilling apparatus, pipes, pumps,
tanks, and machinery. The IRC at 26

for-profits.

United States Mint
Extension of Suspension of Coin
Exchange by United States Mint
ACTION:
Notice.
Under the authority of 31
U.S.C. 5120, the United States Mint
established a program by which people
and businesses could exchange bent and
partial coins for reimbursement. Fused
or mixed coins cannot be redeemed by
the United States Mint.
On November 2, 2015, the United
States Mint suspended the exchange
program for a period of six months to
assess the security of the program and
develop additional safeguards, as
necessary, to ensure the integrity of
United States coinage. Since that time,
the United States Mint has made
significant progress in assessing the
current state of the program, evaluating
risks, and identifying potential remedial
measures. Additionally, the United
States Mint has engaged the services of
an independent contractor to assist us in
these efforts. However, due to recent
litigation involving the exchange
program and more time needed to
complete our work, the United States
Mint is extending the suspension of its
redemption of bent and partial coins for
an additional period of six months.
SUMMARY:
DATES:
Effective May 2, 2016.
