SUMMARY: The Department of the Treasury is notifying the public of its 
delay in implementing its 2000 price changes for the transfer of book-
entry securities maintained on the National Book-Entry System (NBES) 
until April 1, 2000. The delay is to minimize changes during the period 
surrounding the century rollover.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The new fees will go into effect April 1, 2000. The 
effective date was changed from January 1, 2000, in order to minimize 
changes during the period surrounding the century rollover.

& Secondary Market Fixed Income Securities (Financing), Bureau of the 
Public Debt, Suite 3014, 26 Federal Plaza, New York, NY 10278,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Treasury's current basic fee of $.75 for

announced shortly, will take effect on April 1, 2000.
    The fees described in this notice apply only to the transfer of 
Treasury book-entry securities held on NBES. The Federal Reserve System

as the costs of providing book-entry services for Government agencies 
on NBES.

effect until April 1, 2000.
