ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This rule increases the amount of book-entry Series EE and Series I savings bonds a person may acquire each year. DATES: Effective January 4, 2012. ADDRESSES: You can download this final rule at the following Internet addresses: *http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov, http://www.gpo.gov,* or *http://www.regulations.gov.* FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: D. Michael Linder, Director, Division of Program Administration, Office of Retail Securities, Bureau of the Public Debt, at

(304)480-6319 or *mike.linder@bpd.treas.gov.* Ann Fowler, Attorney-Adviser, David Copenhaver, Senior Attorney, Edward Gronseth, Deputy Chief Counsel, Office of the Chief Counsel, Bureau of the Public Debt, at

(304)480-8692 or *ann.fowler@bpd.treas.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule increases the amount of book-entry Series EE and Series I savings bonds a person may acquire each year. Prior to this change, an investor could purchase up to $5,000 each of definitive and book-entry Series EE savings bonds ($10,000 total), and $5,000 each of definitive and book-entry Series I savings bonds ($10,000 total) per person, per calendar year. However, Treasury discontinued the issuance of definitive savings bonds, effective January 1, 2012. (See 76 FR 66,855 (Oct. 28, 2011)). In order to allow investors to maintain the same level of savings that existed prior to the elimination of definitive savings bonds, this rule will permit investors to acquire a principal amount of $10,000 of book-entry Series EE savings bonds and $10,000 of book-entry Series I savings bonds per person, per calendar year. Book-entry savings bonds are offered to individuals through TreasuryDirect ®, which is an Internet-accessed, book-entry system for purchasing, holding, and conducting transactions in Treasury securities. Procedural Requirements *Executive Order 12866.* This rule is not a significant regulatory action pursuant to Executive Order 12866. *Administrative Procedure Act (APA).* Because this rule relates to United States securities, which are contracts between Treasury and the owner of the security, this rule falls within the contract exception to the APA, 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2). As a result, the notice, public comment, and delayed effective date provisions of the APA are inapplicable to this rule. *Regulatory Flexibility Act.* The provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 *et seq.,* do not apply to this rule because, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2), it is not required to be issued with notice and opportunity for public comment. *Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).* We ask for no collections of information in this final rule. Therefore, the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ) does not apply. *Congressional Review Act (CRA).* This rule is not a major rule pursuant to the CRA, 5 U.S.C. 801 *et seq.,* because it is a minor amendment that is not expected to lead to any of the results listed in 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This rule will take effect upon publication in the **Federal Register** , after we submit a copy of it to Congress and the Comptroller General.
