Payment of Federal Taxes and the Treasury Tax and Loan Program

概要

The Financial Management Service (FMS) is issuing this final rule which governs the processing of Federal tax payments by financial institutions and the Federal Reserve Banks using electronic payment or paper methods; the designation of Treasury Tax and Loan (TT&L) depositaries; and the operation of the investment program of the Department of the Treasury (Treasury). This revision removes current references to the acceptability and valuation of collateral pledged to secure deposits of tax payments through the Treasury Investment Program, and replaces them with references to the new rule published by Treasury's Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD), codified at 31 CFR part 380, governing collateral acceptability and valuation. The revision is necessary because the responsibility for determining the acceptability and valuation of collateral was recently transferred from FMS to BPD.
