SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. On 

October 1, 1985, the Department of the 

Treasury established a fee structure for 

the transfer of Treasury book-entry 

securities maintained on NBES. 

Effective January 3, 2005, the basic fee 

will be $.21 for each Treasury securities 

transfer and reversal sent and received, 

unchanged from fees in effect since July 

1, 2003. The surcharge for an off-line 

Treasury book-entry transfer will 

increase from $28.00 to $33.00. 

The basic transfer fee assessed to both 

sends and receives is reflective of costs 

associated with the processing of a 

security transfer. The off-line surcharge 

reflects the additional processing costs 

associated with the manual processing 

of off-line securities transfers. 

The Treasury does not charge a fee for 

account maintenance, the stripping and 

reconstitution of Treasury securities, or 

the wires associated with original 

issues, or interest and redemption 

payments. The Treasury currently 

absorbs these costs and will continue to 

do so.

The fees described in this notice 

apply only to the transfer of Treasury 

book-entry securities held on NBES. 

Information concerning book-entry 

transfers of government Agency 

securities, which are priced by the 

Federal Reserve System, is set out in a 

separate Federal Register notice 

published by the Board of Governors of 

the Federal Reserve System on 

November 9, 2004, docket number OP–

1216.

schedule that will take effect on January 

3, 2005, for the book-entry transfers on
