Each tender must be for an even multiple o f $1,000, and in the case of competitive tenders the price offered must be expressed on the basis o f 100, with not more than three decimals, e.g., 99.925. Fractions may not be used. It is urged that tenders be made on the printed forms and forwarded in the special envelopes which will be supplied by Federal Reserve Banks or Branches on application therefor. Banking institutions generally may submit tenders for ac count of customers, provided the names o f the customers are set forth in such tenders. Others than banking institutions will not be permitted 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 investment securities. Tenders from others must be accompanied by payment of 2 percent o f the face amount of Treasury bills applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied by an express guaranty of payment by an incorporated bank or trust company. Immediately after the closing hour, tenders w ill be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, follow ing which public announcement will be made by the Treasury Department o f the amount and price range of accepted bids. Those sub mitting tenders will be advised o f the acceptance or rejection thereof. The Secretary o f the Treasury 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 $200,000 or less for the additional bills dated October 11, 1962 (91 days remain ing until maturity date on April 11, 1963) and noncompetitive tenders for $100,000 or less for the 182-day bills without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted in full at the average price (in three decimals) o f accepted competitive bids for the respective issues. Settlement for accepted tenders in accordance with the bids must be made or completed at the Federal Reserve Bank on January 10, 1963, in cash or other imme diately available funds or in a like face amount o f Treasury bills maturing January 10, 1963. Cash and exchange tenders will receive equal treatment. Cash adjustments w ill be made for differences between the par value of maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price o f the new bills. The income derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition o f the bills, does not have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition of Treasury bills does not have any special treat ment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954. The bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exempt from all taxa tion now or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any o f the possessions o f the United States, or by any local taxing authority. For purposes o f taxa tion the amount of discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United States is considered to be interest. Under Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 the amount o f discount at which bills issued hereunder are sold is not considered to accrue until such bills are sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of Treasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need include in his income tax return only the difference between the price paid for such bills, whether on original issue or on subsequent purchase, and the amount actually received either upon sale or redemption at maturity during the taxable year for which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss. Treasury Department Circular No. 418 (current revision) and this notice prescribe the terms o f the Treasury bills and govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.
