SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 24, 2000, the Board published modifications to the procedures for measuring daylight overdrafts for Treasury Investment Program (TIP) and Paper Tax System (PATAX) transactions (65 FR 33734). The TIP and PATAX applications were scheduled to replace the Treasury Tax and Loan (TT&L) system on July 10, 2000. On July 5, 2000, the Department of the Treasury announced the implementation delay of the TIP and PATAX applications (65 FR 41522). The Board will announce the revised effective dates of the modifications to the procedures for measuring daylight overdrafts once a new implementation date is established.
To allow sufficient time for depository institutions to adjust to the various operational changes associated with TIP, the Board approved a transition period in which most TIP transactions resulting in debits to depository institutions' accounts would post after the close of Fedwire. After this transition period, the Federal Reserve will post all TIP transactions resulting in debits to depository institutions' accounts on a flow basis as TIP processes them.
Need for Correction
As published, the posting time for same-day Treasury withdrawals announced by 11:30 a.m. ET is incorrect and the posting times for Main Account Administrative Withdrawals and SDI (Special Direct Investment) Withdrawals were omitted.
Correction of Publication
Accordingly, the amendments published on May 24, 2000, at 65 FR 33735, which was subject of FR Doc. 00-13016, are corrected as follows:
