    (a) By the Treasury. The Secretary of the Treasury, or a designee, 
may authorize a Federal Reserve Bank referred to in Sec. 321.25 to 
terminate the qualification of any paying agent at any time, following 
prior written notice of such action to the agent.
    (b) At request of paying agent. A Federal Reserve Bank referred to 
in Sec. 321.25 will terminate the qualification of a paying agent upon 
its written request, provided the agent renders a final accounting for 
all redeemed securities and is found to have fully complied with the 
terms of its agreement and the applicable regulations and instructions.
    (c) Reservation. Termination of the qualification as paying agent of 
any institution shall not prejudice the right of the Treasury to recover 
the amounts of any erroneous payment(s) made by the institution.
