Sec. 17.108  Superseding bonds.

    (a) The principal on any bond filed pursuant to this part may at any 
time replace it with a superseding bond.
    (b) Executors, administrators, assignees, receivers, trustees, or 
other persons acting in a fiduciary capacity continuing or liquidating 
the business of the principal, shall execute and file a superseding bond 
or obtain the consent of the surety or sureties on the existing bond or 
bonds.
    (c) When, in the opinion of the appropriate ATF officer, the 
interests of the Government demand it, or in any case where the security 
of the bond becomes impaired in whole or in part for any reason 
whatever, the principal shall file a superseding bond. A superseding 
bond shall be filed immediately in case of the insolvency of the surety. 
If a bond is found to be not acceptable or for any reason becomes 
invalid or of no effect, the principal shall immediately file a 
satisfactory superseding bond.
    (d) A bond filed under this section to supersede an existing bond 
shall be marked by the obligors at the time of execution, ``Superseding 
Bond.'' When such a bond is approved, the superseded bond shall be 
released as to transactions occurring wholly subsequent to the effective 
date of the superseding bond, and notice of termination of the 
superseded bond shall be issued, as provided in Sec. 17.111.
