DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Fiscal Service 

Fee Schedule for the Transfer of U.S. 

Treasury Book-Entry Securities Held 

on the National Book-Entry System

AGENCY: Bureau of the Public Debt, 

Fiscal Service, Department of the 

Treasury.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Treasury is announcing a new fee 

schedule for the transfer of book-entry 

securities maintained on the National 

Book-Entry System (NBES). This fee 

schedule will take effect on January 3, 

2006. The basic fee for the transfer of a 

Treasury book-entry security will 

increase from $.21 to $.22. The Federal 

Reserve funds movement fee will be 

$.04, unchanged from the funds 

movement fee in effect since January 2, 

2004, resulting in a combined fee of $.26 

for each Treasury securities transfer. 

In addition to the basic fee, off-line 

transfers have a surcharge. The 

surcharge for an off-line Treasury bookentry transfer in CY 2006 will be $33.00, 

unchanged from CY 2005.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 3, 2006.

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. 

Based on the latest review of bookentry costs and volumes Treasury will 

increase its basic fee from the levels 

currently in effect. Effective January 3, 

2006, the basic fee will increase from 

$.21 to $.22 for each Treasury securities 

transfer and reversal sent and received, 

changed from fees in effect since CY 

2005. The surcharge for an off-line 

Treasury book-entry transfer in CY 2006 

will be $33.00, unchanged from CY 

2005. 

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, 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 elsewhere 

in this issue (Docket No. DP–1241). 

The following is the Treasury fee 

schedule that will take effect on January 

3, 2006, for the book-entry transfers on 

NBES:
