FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF NEW YORK
Fiscal Agent of the United States

Circular No. 8836
May 22, 1980

TREASURY TO A UCTIO N $3,000 MILLION OF 5-YEAR 2Vi-M ONTH NOTES
To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

The following statement was issued yesterday by the Treasury Department:
The Department of the Treasury will auction $3,000 million of 5-year 2 '/2 -month notes to raise new cash.
Additional amounts of the notes may be issued to Federal Reserve Banks as agents for foreign and international
monetary authorities at the average price of accepted competitive tenders.
The Treasury will postpone this auction unless it has assurance of Congressional action on legislation to
raise the temporary debt ceiling before the scheduled auction date of May 28.

Printed on the reverse side is a table summarizing the highlights of the offering. Copies of the official
offering circular will be furnished upon request directed to our Government Bond Division
(Tel. No. 212-791-6619). In addition, enclosed is a copy of the form to be used in submitting tenders.
This Bank will receive tenders up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Wednesday, May 28,
1980, at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. All competitive tenders,
whether transmitted by mail or by other means, must reach this Bank or its Branch by that time. However,
for investors who wish to submit noncompetitive tenders and who find it more convenient to mail their
tenders than to present them in person, the official offering circular provides that noncompetitive tenders
will be considered timely received if they are mailed to this Bank or its Branch under a postmark no later
than May 27.
Bidders submitting noncompetitive tenders should realize that it is possible that the average price may
be above par, in which case they would have to pay more than the face value for the securities.
Payment with a tender may be in the form of a personal check, which need not be certified, an official
bank check, or a Federal funds check (a check drawn by a commercial bank on its Federal Reserve account).
All checks must be drawn payable to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; checks endorsed to this Bank
will not be accepted. Payment may also be made in cash or in Treasury securities maturing on or before the
issue date of the securities being purchased.
Recorded messages provide information about Treasury offerings and about auction results: at the
Head Office — Tel. No. 212-791-7773 (offerings) and Tel. No. 212-791-5823 (results); at the Buffalo
Branch — Tel. No. 716-849-5046. Additional inquiries regarding this offering may be made by calling, at
the Head Office, Tel. No. 212-791-6619, or, at the Buffalo Branch, Tel. No. 716-849-5016.

taxation now or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest

-2 -

2. 3. The securities will be acceptable to secure deposits
of public monies. 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 $1,000, $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 denominations and of coupon, registered
and book-entry securities, and the transfer of registered
securities will be permitted.
2. 5. The Department of the Treasury’s general
regulations governing United States securities apply to the
securities offered in this circular. These general regulations
include those currently in effect, as well as those that may be
issued at a later date.
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 Daylight Saving time,
Wednesday, May 28, 1980. Noncompetitive tenders as defined below
will be considered timely if postmarked no later than Tuesday,
May 27, 1980.
3. 2. Each tender must state the face amount of securities
bid for. The minimum bid is $1,000 and larger bids must be in
multiples of that amount. Competitive tenders must also show the
yield desired, 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 "noncompetitive" on the
tender form in lieu of a specified yield. No bidder may submit
more than one noncompetitive tender and the amount nay not exceed
$ 1 ,000 ,000 .

3. 3. All bidders must certify that they have not made and
will not make any agreements for the sale or purchase of any
securities of this issue prior to the deadline established in
Section 3.1. for receipt of tenders. Those authorized to submit
tenders for the account of customers will be required to certify




..,

...

-3-

that such tenders are submitted under the same conditions, agree­
ments, and certifications as tenders submitted directly by
bidders for their own account.
3. 4. 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.
3. 5. 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 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 from
others must be accompanied by full payment for the amount of
securities applied for (in the form of cash, maturing Treasury
securities or readily collectible checks), or by a payment
guarantee of 5 percent of the face amount applied for, from a
commercial bank or a primary dealer.
3. 6. Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be
opened, followed by a public announcement of the amount and yield
range of accepted bids. Subject to the reservations expressed in
Section 4, noncompetitive tenders will be accepted in full, and
then competitive tenders will be accepted, starting with those at
the lowest yields, through successively higher yields 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 established, on the basis of a 1/8 of one percent
increment, which results in an equivalent average accepted price
close to 100.000 and a lowest accepted price above the original
issue discount limit of 98.750. That rate of interest will be



-4-

paid on all of the securities. Based on such interest rate, the
price on each competitive tender allotted will be determined and
each successful competitive bidder will be required to pay the
price equivalent to the yield bid. Those submitting
noncompetitive tenders will pay the price equivalent to the
weighted average y-ield of accepted competitive tenders. 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 provide a fair determination of the yield. Tenders
received from Government accounts and Federal Reserve Banks will
be accepted at the price equivalent to the weighted average yield
of accepted competitive tenders.
3. 7. Competitive bidders will be advised of the acceptance
or rejection of their tenders. Those submitting noncompetitive
tenders will only be notified if the tender is not accepted in
full, or when the price is over par.
4. RESERVATIONS
4. 1. The Secretary of the Treasury expressly reserves 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 the Secretary considers it in the
public interest. The Secretary's action under this Section is
f inal.
5. PAYMENT AND DELIVERY
5. 1. Settlement for allotted securities must be made at
the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch or at the Bureau of the Public

drawn to the order of the institution to which the tender was
submitted, which must be received from institutional investors no
later than Friday, May 30’> 1980 . When payment has been submitted

with the tender and the purchase price is under par, the discount
will be remitted to the bidder. Payment will not be considered
complete where registered securities are requested if the appropriate
identifying number as required on tax returns and other documents
submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (an individual's social
security number or an employer identification number) is not
furnished. When payment is made in securities, a cash adjustment
will be made to or required of the bidder for any difference between
the face amount of securities presented and the amount payable on the
securities allotted.
5. 2. In every case where full payment has not been completed
on time, an amount of up to 5 percent of the face amount of
securities allotted, shall, at the discretion of the Secretary of the
Treasury, be forfeited to the United States.
5. 3. Registered securities tendered in payment for allotted
securities are not required to be assigned if the new securities are
to be registered in the same names and forms as appear in the
registrations or assignments of the securities surrendered. When the
new securities are to be registered in names and forms different from

the settlement date, purchasers may elect to receive interim
certificates. These certificates shall be issued in bearer form
and shall be exchangeable for definitive securities of this
issue, when such securities are available, at any Federal
Reserve Bank or Branch or at the Bureau of the Public Debt,
Washington, D. C. 20226. The interim certificates must be
returned at the risk and expense of the holder.
