It is urged that tenders be made on the printed form s 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 account of customers, provided the names of 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.

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 Treasury Department of the amount and price range o f accepted bids. Those submitting tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection thereof.

Cash adjustments will be made for differences between the par value o f 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 treatment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954. The bills are subject to estate, inheritance, g ift or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exempt from all taxation now or here after 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 taxation the amount o f dis count at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United States is considered to be interest. Under Sections 4 5 4 (b ) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, the amount of 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 o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance companies) 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.
