This offering will not provide new cash for the Treasury as the maturing bills are outstanding in the amount of $5,410 million. The two series offered are as follows: Payment for the full par amount of the bills applied for must accompany all tenders submitted for bills to be maintained on the book-entry records of the Department of the Treasury. A cash adjustment will be made on all accepted tenders for the difference between the par payment submitted and the actual issue price as determined in the auction. 91-day bills (to maturity date) for approximately $2,200 million, representing an additional amount of bills dated June 9, 1977, and to mature December 8, 1977 (CUSIP No. 912793 L61), originally issued in the amount of $3,002 million, the additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable. 182-day bills for approximately $3,200 million to be dated September 8, 1977, and to mature March 9, 1978 (CUSIP No. 912793 P26). No deposit need accompany tenders from incorporated banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in investment securities for bills to be maintained on the book-entry records of Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, or for bills issued in bearer form, where authorized. A deposit of 2 percent of the par amount of the bills applied for must accompany tenders for such bills from others, unless an express guaranty of payment by an incorporated bank or trust company accompanies the tenders. Both series of bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills maturing September 8, 1977. Federal Reserve Banks, for themselves and as agents of foreign and international monetary authorities, presently hold $2,526 million of the maturing bills. These accounts may exchange bills they hold for the bills now being offered at the weighted average prices of accepted competi tive tenders. Public announcement will be made by the Department of the Treasury of the amount and price range of accepted bids. Competi tive bidders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection of their tenders. The Secretary of the Treasury expressly reserves the right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in whole or in part, and the Secretary’s action shall be final. Subject to these reservations, noncompetitive tenders for each issue for $500,000 or less without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted in full at the weighted average price (in three decimals) of accepted competitive bids for the respective issues. The bills will be issued on a discount basis under competitive and noncompetitive bidding, and at maturity their par amount will be payable without interest. Except for definitive bills in the $100,000 denomination, which will be available only to investors who are able to show that they are required by law or regulation to hold securities in physical form, both series of bills will be issued entirely in book-entry form in a minimum amount of $10,000 and in any higher $5,000 multiple, on the records either of the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, or of the Department of the Treasury. 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 Daylight Saving time, Friday, September 2, 1977. Form PD 4632-2 (for 26-week series) or Form PD 4632-3 (for 13-week series) should be used to submit tenders for bills to be maintained on the book-entry records of the Department of the Treasury. Each tender must be for a minimum of $10,000. Tenders over $10,000 must be in multiples of $5,000. In the case of competitive tenders the price offered must be expressed on the basis of 100, with not more than three decimals, e.g., 99.925. Fractions may not be used. Banking institutions and 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. Settlement for accepted tenders for bills to be maintained on the book-entry records of Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, and bills issued in bearer form must be made or completed at the Fed eral Reserve Bank or Branch or at the Bureau of the Public Debt on September 8, 1977, in cash or other immediately available funds or in Treasury bills maturing September 8, 1977. Cash adjustments will be made for differences between the par value of the maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price of the new bills. Under Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 the amount of discount at which these bills are sold is considered to accrue when the bills are sold, redeemed or other wise disposed of, and the bills are excluded from consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of these bills (other than life insurance companies) must include in his or her Federal in come tax return, as ordinary gain or loss, the difference between the price paid for the bills, whether on original issue or on sub sequent purchase, and the amount actually received either upon sale or redemption at maturity during the taxable year for which the return is made. Department of the Treasury Circulars, No. 418 (current revi sion), Public Debt Series—Nos. 26-76 and 27-76, and this notice, prescribe the terms of these Treasury bills and govern the condi tions of their issue.
