Banking institutions generally may submit tenders for account
of customers, provided the names of the customers are set forth
in such tenders. O thers than banking institutions will not be per­
mitted to submit tenders except for their own account. Tenders
will be received without deposit from incorporated banks and trust

companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in invest­
ment securities. Tenders from others must be accompanied by
payment of 2 percent of the face amount of T reasury bills applied
for, unless the tenders are accompanied by an express guaranty of
payment by an incorporated bank or tru st company.
Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at
the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, following which public
announcement will be made by the T reasury D epartm ent of the
amount and price range of accepted bids. Only those submitting
competitive tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection
thereof. The Secretary of the T reasury expressly reserves the
right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in whole or in part,
and his action in any such respect shall be final. Subject to these
reservations, noncompetitive tenders for each issue for $
or
less without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted in
full at the average price (in three decimals) of accepted competi­
tive bids for the respective issues. Settlem ent for accepted tenders
in accordance with the bids must be made or completed at the
Federal Reserve Bank on July 27, 1972, in cash or other im­
mediately available funds or in a like face amount of T reasury
bills m aturing July 27, 1972. Cash and exchange tenders will
receive equal treatm ent. Cash adjustm ents will be made for dif­
ferences between the par value of m aturing bills accepted in ex­
change and the issue price of the new bills.
U nder Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954, the amount of discount at which bills issued here­
under are sold is considered to accrue when the bills are sold, re­
deemed or otherwise disposed of, and the bills are excluded from
consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of T reasury
bills (other than life insurance companies) issued hereunder must
include in his income tax return, as ordinary gain or loss, the dif­
ference between the price paid for the bills, w hether on original
issue or on subsequent purchase, and the am ount actually received
either upon sale or redemption at m aturity during the taxable year
for which the return is made.
T reasury D epartm ent C ircular No. 418 (current revision) and
this notice prescribe the terms of the T reasury bills and govern
the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular may be ob­
tained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.
