The securities will be sold at auction with bidding on the basis of yield. Payment will be required at the price equivalent of the bid yield of each accepted tender. The interest rate on the securities and the price equivalent of each accepted bid will be determined as set forth below. Additional amounts of these securities may be issued in exchange for maturing Treasury securities, to Government accounts and Federal Reserve Banks for their own account and, for cash, to Federal Reserve Banks as agents of foreign and international monetary authorities. 2. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES 2.1 The securities will be dated February 28, 1977, and will bear interest from that date, payable on a semiannual basis on August 31,1977, and each 6 months thereafter on February 28 and August 31 until the principal becomes payable. They will mature February 28, 1979, and will not be subject to call for redemption prior to maturity. 2.2 The income derived from the securities is subject to all taxes imposed under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. The securities are subject to estate, in heritance, gift or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exempt from all taxation now or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any of the possessions of the United States, or by any local taxing authority. 2.3 The securities will be acceptable to secure deposits of public moneys. They will not be acceptable in payment of taxes. 2.4 Bearer securities with interest coupons attached, and securities registered as to principal and interest, will be issued in denominations of $5,000, $10,000, $100,000 and $1,000,000. Book-entry securities will be available to eligible bidders in multiples of those amounts. Interchanges of securities of different denom inations and of coupon, registered and book-entry securities, and the transfer of registered securities will be permitted. 2.5 The securities will be subject to the general reg ulations of the Department of the Treasury governing United States securities, now or hereafter prescribed. 3. SALE PROCEDURES , 3.1 Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and Branches and at the Bureau of the Public Debt, Washington, D.C. 20226, up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Standard time, Thursday, February 17, 1977. Non competitive tenders, as defined below, will be considered timely if postmarked no later than Wednesday, February 16, 1977. 3.2 Each tender must state the face amount of securities bid for, which must be $5,000 or a multiple thereof. Competitive tenders must also show the yield de sired, expressed in terms of an annual yield with two decimals, e.g., 7.11%. Common fractions may not be used. Noncompetitive tenders must show the term “non competitive” on the tender form in lieu of a specified yield. No bidder may submit more than one noncom petitive tender, and the amount may not exceed $ 1, 000 , 000 . 3.3 Commercial banks, which for this purpose are defined as banks accepting demand deposits, and primary dealers, which for this purpose are defined as 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 account of customers, provided the names of the customers and the amount for each customer are furnished. Others will not be permitted to submit tenders except for their own account. 3.4 Tenders will be received without deposit for their own account from commercial banks and other banking institutions; primary dealers, as defined above; Federally-insured savings and loan associations; States and 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; Federal Reserve Banks; and Government accounts. Tenders from others must be accompanied by a deposit of 5% of the face amount of securities applied for (in the form of cash, maturing Treasury securities or readily collectible checks), or by a guarantee of such de posit by a commercial bank or a primary dealer. 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 [Ref. Cir. No. 8 0 5 1 ] (Over) 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 equivalent 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. 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. 4. RESERVATIONS 4.1 The Secretary of the Treasury expressly re serves the right to accept or reject any or all tenders in whole or in part, to allot more or less than the amount of securities specified in Section 1, and to make different percentage allotments to various classes of applicants when he deems it to be in the public interest, and the Secretary’s action in any such respect shall be final. 5.
