                  TITLE 31--MONEY AND FINANCE: TREASURY
 
         CHAPTER II--FISCAL SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 306--GENERAL REGULATIONS GOVERNING U.S. SECURITIES--Table of Contents
 
        Subpart F--Assignments of Registered Securities--General
 
Sec. 306.44  Discrepancies in names.

    The Department will ordinarily require an explanation of 
discrepancies in the names which appear in inscriptions, assignments, 
supporting evidence or in the signatures to any assignments. (Form PD 
385 may be used for this purpose.) However, where the variations in the 
name of the registered owner, as inscribed on securities of the same or 
different issues, are such that both may properly represent the same 
person, for example, ``J. T. Smith'' and ``John T. Smith,'' no proof of 
identity will be required if the assignments are signed exactly as the 
securities are inscribed and are duly certified by the same certifying 
officer.
