Departmental Offices, Treasury.
Pursuant to an Executive order, the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is conducting a review of existing regulations, with the goal of reducing regulatory burden by revoking or revising existing regulations that meet the criteria set forth in the Executive order. In support of that objective, this direct final rule streamlines titles 12 and 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) by removing regulations that are no longer necessary or no longer have any current or future applicability.
This rule is effective June 16, 2025 without further action, unless significant adverse comment is received by May 15, 2025. If Treasury receives significant adverse comments, it will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this rule or a portion thereof will not take effect.
Submit comments electronically through the Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov, or by mail to: Department of the Treasury, Attn: E.O. 14219 Comments, 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20220. Because paper mail in the Washington, DC area may be subject to delay, it is recommended that comments be submitted electronically. Comments will be available for public inspection on www.regulations.gov. In general, comments received, including attachments and other supporting materials, are part of the public record and are available to the public. Do not submit any information in your comment or supporting materials that you consider confidential or inappropriate for public disclosure.
