Department of Treasury June 14, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Office of Thrift Supervision is amending its regulations to eliminate restrictions on certain kinds of transfers from money market deposit accounts for savings associations. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the FRB) has already amended its regulations (``Regulation D'') to eliminate these restrictions for member banks. Because this change is ministerial, the OTS has determined for good cause that public notice and comment is unnecessary under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and is implementing this change by means of a final rule without notice and comment.

The Department of the Treasury, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). Currently, the IRS is soliciting comments concerning an existing final regulation, REG-106917-99 (TD 8996), Changes in Accounting Periods (Sec. 1.441-2, 1.442-1, and 1.1378-1).
