31 CFR Parts 357 and 363 Regulations Governing Book-EntryTreasury Bonds, Notes and Bills Held in Legacy TreasuryDirect; Regulations Governing Securities Held in TreasuryDirect Action: Final rule. Treasury’s retail electronic systems for holding Treasury marketable securities began with the goal of permitting investors to buy and hold marketable Treasury securities until maturity. As a cost-saving measure, Treasury is returning the Legacy TreasuryDirect and TreasuryDirect systems to this initial vision by eliminating the SellDirect program that permits investors to sell their Treasury marketable securities on the open market through a Federal Reserve Bank. Investors will now need to transfer a Treasury marketable security to a broker or financial institution in order to effect a sale of the security prior to maturity.
