Bureau Fiscal Service Raises Surety Company Fees

Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Department of the Treasury

Bureau of the Fiscal Service

AGENCY:

Bureau of the Fiscal Service, Treasury.

ACTION:

Notice of fees imposed on surety companies and reinsuring companies.

SUMMARY:

The Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service, is increasing the fees it imposes on and collects from surety companies and reinsuring companies, effective January 1, 2026.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Melvin Saunders, at (304) 480-5108 or melvin.saunders@fiscal.treasury.gov; or Bobbi McDonald, at (304) 480-7098 or bobbi.mcdonald@fiscal.treasury.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Independent Offices Appropriations Act of 1952 (IOAA), codified at 31 U.S.C. 9701, authorizes Federal agencies to establish fees for a service or thing of value provided by the agency to members of the public. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-25 allows agencies to impose user fees for services that confer a special benefit to identifiable recipients beyond those accruing to the general public. Pursuant to 31 CFR 223.22, Treasury imposes fees on surety companies and reinsuring companies seeking to obtain or renew certification or recognition from Treasury. The fees imposed and collected cover the costs incurred by the Government for services performed for reviewing, analyzing, and evaluating the companies' applications, financial statements, and other information. Treasury determines the amount of fees in accordance with the IOAA and the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-25, as amended. The change in fees is the result of a thorough analysis of costs associated with the corporate federal surety bond program.

The new fee rate schedule is as follows:

(1) Examination of a company's application for a Certificate of Authority as an acceptable surety or as an acceptable reinsuring company on Federal bonds: $14,300.

(2) Determination of a company's continued qualification for annual renewal of its Certificate of Authority: $9,300.

(3) Examination of a company's application for recognition as an Admitted Reinsurer: $5,300.

(4) Determination of a company's continued qualification for annual renewal of its authority as an Admitted Reinsurer: $3,700.

(5) Determination of a company's continued qualification for annual renewal of its authority as an Admitted Reinsurer—Reinsurance Market: $18,500.

(6) Examination of a company's application for recognition as an Alien Reinsurer: $5,300.

(7) Determination of a company's continued qualification for annual renewal of its authority as an Alien Reinsurer: $3,700.

(8) Examination of a company's application for recognition as a Complementary Reinsurer: $5,300.

(9) Determination of a company's continued qualification for annual renewal of its authority as a Complementary Reinsurer: $3,700.

Questions concerning this notice should be directed to the Surety Bond Branch, Special Assets and Liabilities Division, Bureau of the Fiscal Service, Surety Bonds (A-1G), 257 Bosley Industrial Drive, Parkersburg, WV 26106, Telephone (304) 480-6635.

Commissioner, Bureau of the Fiscal Service.
