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 in and borrowings on such
securities, may submit tenders for account of customers if the
names of the customers and the amount for each customer are
furnished.

Others are only permitted to submit tenders for their

own account.

own account from commercial banks and other banking institutions;
primary dealers, as defined above; Federally-insured savings and
loan associations; States, and their political subdivisions or
instrumentalities; 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 at the highest accepted yield will

be prorated if necessary.

After the determination is made as to

weighted average price of accepted competitive tenders.

or rejection of their tenders.
