                  TITLE 31--MONEY AND FINANCE: TREASURY
 
         CHAPTER II--FISCAL SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 215--WITHHOLDING OF DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, STATE, CITY AND COUNTY INCOME OR EMPLOYMENT TAXES BY FEDERAL AGENCIES--Table of Contents
 
                          Subpart B--Procedures
 
Sec. 215.3  Relationship of Standard Agreement to existing agreements.


    (a) Subpart C of this part is the Standard Agreement which the 
Secretary will enter into with a State, city or county. This Standard 
Agreement replaces all prior agreements between the Secretary and the 
State or

city covering the withholding of income or employment taxes from the 
compensation of Federal employees. The Standard Agreement is essentially 
the same as the prior agreements. A State of city which currently is a 
party to an agreement with the Secretary covering the withholding of 
income or employment taxes from the compensation of Federal employees 
does not need to apply for a new agreement under this part. A State or 
city currently a party to an agreement will be presumed to have 
consented to be bound by the terms of the Standard Agreement (subpart 
C). If a State or city, which is currently a party, does not want to be 
bound by the Standard Agreement, it shall notify the Fiscal Assistant 
Secretary, Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC 20220, in writing 
over the signature of an officer authorized to bind contractually the 
State or city within 90 days of the effective date of this part. The 
procedures of Sec. 215.5 shall be followed by a State or city which 
proposes to be bound by an agreement other than the Standard Agreement.
    (b) The effective date for the replacement of existing State or city 
Standard Agreements by the Standard Agreement appearing as subpart C of 
this part is the effective date of this part. For current other-than-
Standard-Agreements, it is 120 days after the effective date of this 
part unless an earlier effective date is specifically agreed to or a new 
agreement which is other than the Standard Agreement of subpart C, is 
entered into as provided in this subpart.
