Depositaries and Financial Agents of the Government

摘要

The Financial Management Service (FMS) is issuing this final rule which governs the designation of Depositaries and Financial Agents of the Federal Government; their authorization to accept deposits of public money and to perform other specific services; and the securing of public money. This revision removes current references to collateral acceptability and valuation and replaces them with references to the new rule of the 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 under 31 CFR part 202 was recently transferred from FMS to BPD.
