This notice corrects errors contained 

in the Compliance Date section of FR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 101(a) of EESA requires the 

Secretary of the Treasury to establish a 

Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) 

to ‘‘purchase, and to make and fund 

commitments to purchase, troubled 

assets from any financial institution, on 

such terms and conditions as are 

determined by the Secretary, and in 

accordance with this Act and policies 

and procedures developed and 

published by the Secretary.’’ Section 

120 of EESA provides that the TARP 

authorities generally terminate on 

December 31, 2009, unless extended 

upon certification by the Secretary of 

the Treasury to Congress, but no later 

than two years from the date of 

enactment (October 3, 2008). 

Section 108 of EESA authorizes the 

Secretary to issue regulations or 

guidelines necessary to address and 

manage or to prohibit conflicts of 

interest that may arise in connection 

with the administration and execution 

of the EESA authorities. On October 6, 

2008, Treasury issued interim 

guidelines for potential conflicts of 

interest related to the authorities 

granted under EESA. This interim rule 

implements the guidelines by 

addressing conflicts that may arise 

during the selection of individuals or 

entities seeking a contract or financial 

agency agreement with the Treasury 

(retained entities), particularly those 

involved in the acquisition, valuation, 

management, and disposition of 

troubled assets. The interim rule also 

addresses conflicts and other matters 

that may arise in the course of those 

services. The interim rule does not 

address post-employment restrictions 

on Treasury employees, which we 

believe are already adequately covered 

by existing law. 

II. This Interim Rule 

The Department is promulgating this 

interim rule in order to implement the 

interim guidance released on October 6, 

2008. The procedures in this rule 

outline the process for reviewing and 

addressing actual or potential conflicts 

of interest among retained entities 

performing services in conjunction with 

EESA. The procedures set forth in this 

interim rule are effective immediately. 

Upon careful consideration of public 

comments, a final rule will be issued. 

Conflicts of interest may arise under 

EESA in a variety of situations, such as 

when retained entities perform similar 

work for Treasury and private clients. In 

these situations, retained entities may 

find that their duty to private clients 

impairs their objectivity when advising 

Treasury, or their judgment about the 

proper use of nonpublic information. 

Conflicts may also arise from the 

personal interests of individuals 

employed by retained entities. To 

address the potential for organizational 

and personal conflicts of interest, it may 

be necessary to restrict the activities of 

retained entities and key employees, to 

limit the dissemination of information, 

and to impose monitoring and reporting 

requirements. Treasury imposes these 

measures through its contracts and 

financial agent agreements, as well as 

through this interim rule. This interim 

rule does not substitute any provisions 

of the Federal Acquisition Regulation 

and, to the extent the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation applies to any 

contracts Treasury has with a retained
