{"abstract":"The Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Treasury) administers the Federal corporate surety program. Treasury issues certificates of authority to qualified sureties to underwrite and reinsure Federal bond obligations. Bonds underwritten by Treasury- certified sureties satisfy bonding requirements, provided such bonds are accepted by the agency bond-approving official. Treasury is amending its regulation to expressly provide that an agency may decline to accept a bond underwritten by a Treasury-certified surety for cause, provided the agency satisfies the requirements specified in the final rule. Treasury is also revising the procedures it uses to adjudicate any complaint received from an agency requesting that a surety's certificate of authority be revoked.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY","name":"Treasury Department","id":497,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/treasury-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/497","parent_id":null,"slug":"treasury-department"},{"raw_name":"Fiscal Service","name":"Fiscal Service","id":585,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/fiscal-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/585","parent_id":497,"slug":"fiscal-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2014/10/16/2014-24460.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":223,"title":31}],"citation":"79 FR 61992","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This rule is effective December 15, 2014.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2014-24460","effective_on":"2014-12-15","end_page":62003,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2014/10/16/2014-24460.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/10/16/2014-24460/surety-companies-doing-business-with-the-united-states","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2014-24460?publication_date=2014-10-16","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2014-10-16/2014-24460/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":12,"page_views":{"count":694,"last_updated":"2026-09-21 14:15:06 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-10-16/pdf/2014-24460.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2014-24460.pdf?1413377384","publication_date":"2014-10-16","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2014/10/16/2014-24460.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1510-AB27":{"issue":"201404","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1510-AB27/surety-companies-doing-business-with-the-united-states","title":"Surety Companies Doing Business With the United States","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201404&RIN=1510-AB27&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["1510-AB27"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FISCAL_FRDOC_0001","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"FISCAL_FRDOC_0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Recently Posted FISCAL Rules and Notices.","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2015-01-12T19:45:09Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":61992,"subtype":null,"title":"Surety Companies Doing Business With the United States","toc_doc":"Surety Companies Doing Business With the United States","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Surety bonds"],"type":"Rule","volume":79}
