Redemption of Federal Agency Securities at A ll Federal Reserve Banks

To A ll Banking Institutions, and O thers Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve D istrict:

The Federal Reserve Banks, in cooperation with the U nited States T reasury D epartm ent
and the several Federal Agencies that are the m ajor issuers of Federal Agency securities
in the market, have developed a program to perm it the redemption of virtually all types of
such securities and m atured interest coupons at all Federal Reserve Banks and Branches
throughout the country. The program has now been completed, and new procedures to imple­
ment the program are being put into effect at all Federal Reserve Banks. U nder the new
program , all Reserve Banks are authorized to redeem those Agency securities and coupons
that are set forth on the following pages of this circular. In addition to such securities,
the Federal Reserve Bank of New Y ork will continue to make payment at m aturity on
other types of Agency obligations, including Federal N ational M ortgage Association Discount
Notes, securities of the Small Business A dm inistration and the F arm ers Home A dm inistra­
tion, and obligations of the various international organizations.
W hile some issues of Agency securities have been redeemable at all Federal Reserve
Banks, until the new program was developed the redemption of many other Agency issues
was restricted either to the Federal Reserve Bank of New Y ork alone, or to the Federal
Reserve Banks of New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. The new program is designed to
provide uniform treatm ent for as many classes of Agency securities as is practicable, and at
the same time to provide facilities at all Federal Reserve Banks and Branches for the redemp­
tion of such securities and the payment of the coupons thereon. Furtherm ore, by establishing
a nationwide payment network for Federal Agency securities, the new procedures constitute
another step tow ard the implementation of the program to make such securities available in
book-entry form. Such program was referred to in our Circular No. 6976, dated July 21, 1972.
The officers of our Government Bond and Safekeeping D epartm ent would be pleased to
discuss any questions you may have concerning the redemption of Agency securities under
the new procedures.

President.
