They will be issued in registered and bearer form in denominations of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $100,000, and $1,000,000, and they will be available for issue in book-entry form. Payment for the notes must be made on March 17, 1976. Payment may not be made through tax and loan accounts. Tenders will be received up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Standard time, Friday, March 5, 1976, at any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch and at the Bureau of the Public Dept, Washington, D.C. 20226; provided, however, that noncompetitive tenders will be considered timely received if they are mailed to any such agency under a postmark no later than Thursday, March 4. Each tender must be in the amount of $1,000 or a multiple thereof, and all tenders must state the yield desired, if a competitive tender, or the term "non competitive", if a noncompetitive tender. Fractions may not be used in tenders. The notation "TENDER FDR TREASURY NOTES" should be printed at the bottom of envelopes in which tenders are submitted. Competitive tenders must be expressed in terms of annual yield in two decimal places, e.g., 7.11, and not in terms of a price. Tenders at the lowest yields, and noncompetitive tenders, will be accepted to the extent 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 % of 1 percent necessary to make the average accepted price 100.000 or less. That will be the rate of interest that will be paid on all of the notes. Based on such interest rate, the price on each competitive tender allotted will be determined and each successful com petitive bidder will pay the price corresponding to the yield bid. Price calculations will be carried to three decimal places on the basis of price per hundred, e.g., 99.923, and the determinations of the Secretary of the Treasury shall be final. Tenders at a yield that will produce a price less than 99.001 will not be accepted. The Secretary of 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, non competitive tenders for $500,000 or less will be accepted in full at the average price of accepted competitive tenders, which price will be 100.000 or less. 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 of New York their positions with respect to Government securities and borrowings thereon, may submit tenders for the account of customers, provided the names of the customers are set forth in such tenders. Others will not be permitted to submit tenders except for their own account. Tenders will be received without deposit from commercial and other banks for their own account, Federally-insured savings and loan associations, States, political subdivisions or instrumentalities thereof, public pension and retirement and other public funds, international organizations in which the United States holds membership, foreign central banks and foreign States, dealers who make primary markets in Government securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York their positions with respect 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 the Treasury may End it necessary to submit full payment for the notes with their tenders in order to meet the time limits pertaining to checks as hereinafter set forth. Allotment notices will not be sent to bidders who submit noncompetitive tenders. Payment for accepted tenders must be completed on or before Wednesday, March 17, 1976, at the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch or at the Bureau of the Public D ebt in cash, in other funds immediately available to the Treasury by March 17, or by check drawn to the order of the Federal Reserve Bank to which the tender is submitted, or the United States Treasury if the tender is submitted to it, which must be received at such Bank or at the Treasury no later than: (1) Thursday, March 11, 1976, if the check is drawn on a bank in the Federal Reserve District of the Bank to which the check is submitted, or the Fifth Federal Reserve District in the case of the Treasury, or (2) Tuesday, March 9, 1976, if the check is drawn on a bank in another district.
