The Secretary shall establish, and the USAccount Fund Board shall invest in, a retirement savings bond that earns interest at the same annual percentage rate as securities issued to the Government Securities Investment Fund in the Thrift Savings Plan for Federal employees as determined under section 8438(e)(2) of title 5, United States Code, and shall be compounded daily at 1/260 of the annual percentage rate. Under regulations which shall be prescribed by the Executive Director, and subject to the provisions of this Act, the following provisions shall apply with respect to the USAccount Fund and accounts maintained in such Fund in the same manner and to the same extent as such provisions relate to the Thrift Savings Fund and the accounts maintained in the Thrift Savings Fund:
Section 8438 of title 5, United States Code (relating to investment of the Thrift Savings Fund). Section 8439(b) of such title (relating to engagement of independent qualified public accountant). Section 8439(c) of such title (relating to periodic statements and summary descriptions of investment options). Section 8439(d) of such title (relating to assumption of risk). For purposes of paragraph (1), references in such sections 8438 and 8439 to an employee, Member, former employee, or former Member shall be deemed references to an account holder of a USAccount in the USAccount Fund.
Except as otherwise authorized by Federal law, the USAccount Fund Board, the Executive Director, and any employee of the USAccount Fund Board shall not disclose information with respect to the USAccount Fund or any account maintained in such Fund. The Executive Director may, subject to such requirements and conditions as he may prescribe by regulations, disclose such information with respect to the USAccount of the beneficiary to such person or persons as the beneficiary may designate in a request for or consent to such disclosure, or to any other person at the beneficiary’s request to the extent necessary to comply with a request for information or assistance made by the beneficiary to such other person.
