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, and all tenders from Government accounts and the Federal Reserve Banks for themselves and as agents o f foreign and international monetary authorities, will be accepted in full at the average price o f accepted competitive tenders.

However, bidders who submit checks in payment on tenders submitted directly to a Federal Reserve Bank or the Treasury may find it necessary to submit full payment with their tenders in order to meet the time limits pertaining to checks as hereinafter set forth.
