To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

Following is the text of a notice issued by the Treasury Department:
The Department o f the Treasury, by this public notice, invites tenders
for approximately $9,250 million o f 364-day Treasury bills to be dated
April 17, 1986, and to mature April 16, 1987 (CUSIP No. 912794 M F8).
This issue will provide about $900 million of new cash for the Treasury,
as the maturing 52-week bill is outstanding in the amount o f $8,362
million. Tenders will be received at the Federal Reserve Banks and
Branches and at the Bureau o f the Public Debt, Washington, D .C. 20239,
prior to 1:00 p .m ., Eastern Standard time, Thursday, April 10, 1986.
The bills will be issued on a discount basis under competitive and non­
competitive bidding, and at maturity their par amount will be payable
without interest. This series of bills will be issued entirely in book-entry
form in a minimum amount o f $10,000 and in any higher $5,000 multiple,
on the records either of the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, or of
the Department of the Treasury.
The bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills
maturing April 17, 1986. In addition to the maturing 52-week bills, there
are $14,550 million o f maturing bills which were originally issued as
13-week and 26-week bills. The disposition of this latter amount will be
announced next week. Federal Reserve Banks currently hold $1,687
million as agents for foreign and international monetary authorities, and
$5,360 million for their own account. These amounts represent the com ­
bined holdings o f such accounts for the three issues o f maturing bills.
Tenders from Federal Reserve Banks for their own account and as agents
for foreign and international monetary authorities will be accepted at the
weighted average bank discount rate of accepted competitive tenders. Ad­
ditional amounts of the bills may be issued to Federal Reserve Banks, as
agents for foreign and international monetary authorities, to the extent
that the aggregate amount of tenders for such accounts exceeds the ag­
gregate amount o f maturing bills held by them. For purposes o f determin­
ing such additional amounts, foreign and international monetary
authorities are considered to hold $125 million of the original 52-week
issue. Tenders for bills to be maintained on the book-entry records of the
Department o f the Treasury should be submitted on Form PD 4632-1.
Each tender must state the par amount of bills bid for, which must be a
minimum o f $10,000. Tenders over $10,000 must be in multiples of $5,000.
Competitive tenders must also show the yield desired, expressed on a bank
discount rate basis with two decimals, e.g., 7.15% . Fractions may not be
used. A single bidder, as defined in Treasury’s single bidder guidelines, shall
not submit noncompetitive tenders totaling more than $1,000,000.
Banking institutions and dealers who make primary markets in Govern­
ment securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
their positions in and borrowings on such securities may submit tenders for
account of customers, if the names o f the customers and the amount for
each customer are furnished. Others are only permitted to submit tenders
for their own account. Each tender must state the amount of any net long
position in the bills being offered if such position is in excess of $200
million. This information should reflect positions held as of 12:30 p.m .,
Eastern time, on the day of the auction. Such positions would include bills
acquired through “ when issued” trading, and futures and forward transac­
tions as well as holdings of outstanding bills with the same maturity date as
the new offering, e.g., bills with three months to maturity previously
offered as six-month bills. Dealers, who make primary markets in Govern­
ment securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
their positions in and borrowings on such securities, when submitting

tenders for customers, must submit a separate tender for each customer
whose net long position in the bill being offered exceeds $200 million.
A noncompetitive bidder may not have entered into an agreement, nor
make an agreement to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose o f any non­
competitive awards o f this issue being auctioned prior to the designated
closing time for receipt o f tenders.
Payment for the full par amount of the bills applied for must accom­
pany all tenders submitted for bills to be maintained on the book-entry
records of the Department of the Treasury. A cash adjustment will be
made on all accepted tenders for the difference between the par payment
submitted and the actual issue price as determined in the auction.
No deposit need accompany tenders from incorporated banks and
trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in invest­
ment securities for bills to be maintained on the book-entry records of
Federal Reserve Banks and Branches. A deposit o f 2 percent o f the par
amount o f the bills applied for must accompany tenders for such bills
from others, unless an express guaranty o f payment by an incorporated
bank or trust company accompanies the tenders.
Public announcement will be made by the Department of the Treasury
of the amount and yield range o f accepted bids. Competitive bidders will
be advised o f the acceptance or rejection o f their tenders. The Secretary
o f the Treasury expressly reserves the right to accept or reject any or all
tenders, in whole or in part, and the Secretary’s action shall be final. Sub­
ject to these reservations, noncompetitive tenders for each issue for
$1,000,000 or less without stated yield from any one bidder will be ac­
cepted in full at the weighted average bank discount rate (in two decimals)
of accepted competitive bids for the respective issues. The calculation of
purchase prices for accepted bids will be carried to three decimal places on
the basis o f price per hundred, e.g ., 99.923, and the determinations o f the
Secretary of the Treasury shall be final.
Settlement for accepted tenders for bills to be maintained on the bookentry records of Federal Reserve Banks and Branches must be made or
completed at the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch on the issue date, in
cash or other immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills maturing
on that date. Cash adjustments will be made for differences between the
par value of the maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of
the new bills. In addition, Treasury Tax and Loan Note Option
Depositaries may make payment for allotments of bills for their own
accounts and for account of customers by credit to their Treasury Tax
and Loan Note Accounts on the settlement date.
In general, if a bill is purchased at issue after July 18, 1984, and held
to maturity, the amount o f discount is reportable as ordinary income in
the Federal income tax return o f the owner at the time of redemption.
Accrual-basis taxpayers, banks, and other persons designated in section
1281 of the Internal Revenue Code must include in income the portion of
the discount for the period during the taxable year such holder held the
bill. If the bill is sold or otherwise disposed of before maturity, the por­
tion of the gain equal to the accrued discount will be treated as ordinary
income. Any excess may be treated as capital gain.

and 27-76, Treasury’s single bidder guidelines, and this notice prescribe the
terms of these Treasury bills and govern the conditions of their issue.

ment of this Bank’s Head Office, at our Buffalo Branch, or at the Bureau of the Public Debt. A tender form is enclosed.
Please be sure to use that form to submit the tender and return it in the enclosed envelope. Forms for submitting tenders

may be submitted by telegraph, subject to written confirmation; no tenders may be submitted by telephone. Settlement
must be made in cash or other immediately available funds or in Treasury securities maturing on or before the issue date.
Treasury Tax and Loan Note Option Depositaries may make payment for Treasury bills by credit to their Treasury Tax and
Loan Note Accounts.
