The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations or other guidance as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this subsection, including rules to— protect the privacy of the owners of applicable savings bonds; ensure that any information provided to a State under this subsection shall be used solely to locate such owners and assist them in redeeming such bonds with the United States Treasury; and ensure that owners of applicable savings bonds seeking to redeem such bonds with the United States Treasury are able to do so in an expeditious manner.
