3.5 Immediately after the closing hour, tenders
will be opened, following which public announcement
will be made of the amount and yield range of accepted
bids. Subject to the reservations expressed in Section 4,
noncompetitive tenders will be accepted in full at the
average price (in three decimals) of accepted competitive
tenders, and competitive tenders with the lowest yields
will be accepted to the extent required to attain the
amount offered. Tenders at the highest accepted yield
will be prorated if necessary. After the determination is
made as to which tenders are accepted, a coupon rate will
be determined at a 1/8 of one percent increment that
translates into an average accepted price close to 100.000
and a lowest accepted price above the original issue
discount limit of 99.500. That rate of interest will be paid
on all of the securities. Based on such interest rate, the
price on each competitive tender allotted will be deter­
mined and each successful competitive bidder will be
required to 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. If the amount of noncompetitive tenders received
would absorb all or most of the offering, competitive
tenders will be accepted in an amount sufficient to pro­
vide a fair determination of yield. Additional tenders
received from Government accounts and Federal Reserve
Banks will be accepted at the average price of accepted
competitive tenders.
3.6 Those submitting competitive tenders will be
advised of the acceptance or rejection thereof. Those
submitting noncompetitive tenders will not be notified
except when the tender is not accepted in full or when the
price is over par.
