FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF NEW YORK
Fiscal Agent of the United States
Circular No. 9073
May 14, 1981

TREASURY TO AUCTION $4,250 MILLION OF 2-YEAR NOTES
To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

The following statement was issued yesterday by the Treasury Departm ent:
The Department of the Treasury will auction $4,250 million of 2-year notes to refund $2,131 million of
notes maturing May 31, 1981, and to raise $2,119 million new cash. The $2,131 million of maturing notes are
those held by the public, including $627 million currently held by Federal Reserve Banks as agents for foreign
and international monetary authorities.
In addition to the public holdings, Government accounts and Federal Reserve Banks, for their own
accounts, hold $411 million of the maturing securities that may be refunded by issuing additional amounts of the
new notes at the average price of accepted competitive tenders. Additional amounts of the new security may also
be issued at the average price to Federal Reserve Banks, as agents for foreign and international monetary
authorities, to the extent that the aggregate amount of tenders for such accounts exceeds the aggregate amount
of maturing securities held by them.
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).
Enclosed is a copy of a standard form for your use in submitting tenders for this offering (or for any
subsequent offering of 2-year notes).
This Bank will receive tenders up to 1:30 p.m ., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Wednesday, May 20, 1981,
at the Securities Departm ent of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. A ll competitive tenders, whether
transm itted 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 noncom petitive tenders will be
considered timely received if they are mailed to this Bank or its Branch under a postmark no later than
M ay 19.
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.
Paym ent 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 depository institution 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 m aturing on or
before the issue date of the securities being purchased.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
Washington, May 14, 1981.

INVITATION FOR TENDERS

1. 1. The Secretary of the Treasury, under the authority of
the Second Liberty Bond Act, as amended, invites tenders for approxi­
mately $4,250,000,000 of United States securities, designated Treasury
Notes of May 31, 1983, Series R-1983 (CUSIP No. 912827 LX 8). 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 in
the manner described below. Additional amounts of these securities
may be issued to Government accounts and Federal Reserve Banks for
their own account in exchange for maturing Treasury securities.
Additional amounts of the new securities may also be issued at the
average price to Federal Reserve Banks, as agents for foreign and
international monetary authorities, to the extent that the aggre­
gate amount of tenders for such accounts exceeds the aggregate
amount of maturing securities held by them.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
2. 1. The securities will be dated June 1, 1981, and will
bear interest from that date, payable on a semiannual basis on
November 30, 1981, and each subsequent 6 months on May 31 and
November 30, until the principal becomes payable. They will mature
May 31, 1983, and will not be subject to call for redemption prior
to maturity. In the event an interest payment date or the maturity
date is a Saturday, Sunday, or other nonbusiness day, the interest
or principal is payable on the next-succeeding business day.
2.

The income derived from the securities is subject to

-

2.

all taxes imposed under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. The
securities are subject to estate, inheritance, gift, or other
excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exempt from all
taxation now or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest




l

2

thereof by any State, any possession of the United States, or any
local taxing authority.

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 $5,000, $10,000, $100,000, and $1,000,000. Bookentry securities will be available to eligible bidders in multiples
of those amounts. Interchanges of securities of different denomina­
tions 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 20, 1981. Noncompetitive tenders as defined below
will be considered timely if postmarked no later than Tuesday,
May 19, 1981.
3. 2. Each tender must state the face amount of securities
bid for. The minimum bid is $5,000 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. Non­
competitive 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 may 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
that such tenders are submitted under the same conditions, agree­
ments, and certifications as tenders submitted directly by
bidders for their own account.



3.

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 accom­
panied by full payment for the amount of securities applied for (in
the form of cash, maturing Treasury securities, or readily collect­
ible 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 determina­
tion 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 99.750. 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 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 yield
Price calculations will be
 of accepted competitive tenders.


4.

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 determina­
tion 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 final.
5.
