traffic has been handled on the Line 

since prior to 2009; (3) no formal 

complaint filed by a user of rail service 

on the Line (or by a state or local 

government entity acting on behalf of 

such user) regarding cessation of service 

over the Line either is pending with the 

Surface Transportation Board (Board) or

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

Bureau of the 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 Fiscal Service, 

Fiscal Service, Treasury. 

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 2, 2018. 

DATES: Applicable January 2, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Brandon Taylor or Janeene Wilson, 

Bureau of the Fiscal Service, 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 2, 2018, the basic fee will 

increase from $0.93 to $0.97. The 

Federal Reserve System also charges a 

funds movement fee for each of these 

transactions for the funds settlement 

component of a Treasury securities 

transfer.1 The surcharge for an off-line 

Treasury book-entry securities transfer 

will remain at $70.00. Off-line refers to 

the sending and receiving of transfer 

messages to or from a Federal Reserve 

Bank by means other than on-line 

access, such as by written, facsimile, or 

telephone voice instruction. 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, which 

is in addition to the basic fee and the
