The U.S. Treasury Department ("Treasury") final rule amending the Large Position Reporting rules ("LPR Rules") was published in the Federal Register.

The technical amendments to the LPR Rules provide the Treasury with the flexibility to specify where and how large position reports in Treasury securities are to be filed. Under the LPR Rules, the Treasury may issue a public announcement (which is subsequently published in the Federal Register) requiring a person who controls a 10 percent or more interest in a particular Treasury security to file a large position report with the Treasury. Under the new rule, the Treasury may specify in the public announcement where and how the large position report is to be filed.

The technical amendments to the LPR Rules will become effective on November 17, 2018.
