 ACTION: Notice.
 SUMMARY: The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is announcing a new fee schedule applicable to transfers of U.S. Treasury book-entry securities maintained on the National Book-Entry System (NBES) that occur on or after January 3, 2011.
 DATES: *Effective Date:*
                         January 3, 2011.
 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Hawkins or Kristina Yeh, Bureau of the Public Debt, Department of the Treasury at (202) 504-3550.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Treasury has established a fee structure for the transfer of Treasury book-entry securities maintained on NBES. Treasury reassesses this fee structure periodically, based on our review of the latest book-entry costs and volumes. For each Treasury securities transfer or reversal sent or received on or after January 3, 2011, the basic fee will increase from $0.31 to $0.38. The Federal Reserve will also increase its fee for Federal Reserve funds movement from $0.06 to $0.07. This will result in a combined fee of $0.45 for each transfer of Treasury book-entry securities. The surcharge for an off-line Treasury book-entry securities transfer will remain $33.00. The basic transfer fee assessed to both sends and receives is reflective of costs associated with the processing of securities transfers. The off-line surcharge reflects the additional processing costs associated with the manual processing of off-line securities transfers. 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. Treasury currently absorbs these costs. The fees described in this notice apply only to the transfer of Treasury book-entry securities held on NBES. Information concerning fees for book-entry transfers of Government Agency securities, which are priced by the Federal Reserve System, is set out in a separate

                         Treasury does not charge a fee for account maintenance, the stripping and reconstituting of Treasury securities, the wires associated with original issues, or interest and redemption payments. Treasury currently absorbs these costs.2
                         The funds movement fee is not a Treasury fee, but is charged by the Federal Reserve for the cost of moving funds associated with the transfer of a Treasury book-entry security.
