required to attain the amount offered. After a determination is made as to which tenders are accepted, a
coupon yield will be determined to the nearest

price on each competitive tender allotted will be determined and each successful competitive bidder will pay
the price corresponding to the yield bid. Price calculations will be carried to three decimal places on the basis

Tenders at a yield that will produce a price less than 99.751 will not be accepted.
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 $500,000 or less will be accepted in full at the average price o f accepted competitive tenders, which price
will be approximately 100.000.
Commercial banks, which for this purpose are defined as banks accepting demand deposits, and dealers
who make primary markets in Government securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve Bank o f New
York their positions with respect to Government securities and borrowings thereon, may submit tenders for the
account o f customers, provided the names o f the customers are set forth in such tenders. Others will not be
permitted to submit tenders except for their own account.

to Government securities and borrowings thereon, Federal Reserve Banks, and Government accounts.




Tenders from others must be accompanied by payment of 5 percent of the face amount of notes applied for.
However, bidders who submit checks in payment on tenders submitted directly to a Federal Reserve Bank or
