OFFERING OF TW O SERIES OF TREASURY BILLS

$5,600,000,000 of 91-Day Bills, To Be Issued September 9, 1982, Due December 9, 1982
$5,600,000,000 of 182-Day Bills, To Be Issued September 9, 1982, Due March 10, 1983
To All Incorporated Banks and Trust Companies, and Others
Concerned, in the Second Federal Reserve District:

Following is the text of a notice issued by the Treasury Department:

The Department o f the Treasury, by this public notice, invites tenders
for two series o f Treasury bills totaling approximately $11,200 million, to
be issued September 9, 1982. This offering will provide $1,325 million o f
new cash for the Treasury, as the maturing bills were originally issued in
the amount o f $9,880 million. The two series offered are as follows:
91-day bills (to maturity date) for approximately $5,600 million,
representing an additional amount o f bills dated June 10, 1982,
and to mature December 9, 1982 (CUSIP No. 912794 BV5),
currently outstanding in the amount o f $5,026 million, the
additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills for approximately $5,600 million, to be dated
September 9, 1982, and to mature March 10, 1983 (CUSIP No.
912794 CM4).
Both series o f bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury
bills maturing September 9, 1982. In addition to the maturing 13-week
and 26-week bills, there are $4,768 million o f maturing 52-week bills. The
disposition o f this latter amount was announced last week. Federal
Reserve Banks, as agents for foreign and international monetary
authorities, currently hold $1,359 million, and Federal Reserve Banks for
their own account hold $3,588 million o f the maturing bills. These
amounts represent the combined holdings o f such accounts for the three
issues o f maturing bills.
Tenders from Federal Reserve Banks for themselves and as agents for
foreign and international monetary authorities will be accepted at the
weighted average prices o f accepted competitive tenders. Additional
amounts o f the bills may be issued to Federal Reserve Banks, as agents for
foreign and international monetary authorities, to the extent that the
aggregate amount o f tenders for such accounts exceeds the aggregate
amount o f maturing bills held by them. For purposes o f determining such
additional amounts, foreign and international monetary authorities are
considered to hold $1,254 million o f the original 13-week and 26-week
issues.
The bills will be issued on a discount basis under competitive and non­
competitive bidding, and at maturity their par amount will be payable
without interest. Both series o f bills will be issued entirely in book-entry
form in a minimum amount o f $10,000 and in any higher $5,000 multiple,
on the records either o f the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, or o f
the Department o f the Treasury.
Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and Branches and at
the Bureau o f the Public Debt, Washington, D.C. 20226, up to 1:30 p.m .,
Eastern Daylight Saving time, Tuesday, September 7, 1982. Form PD
4632-2 (for 26-week series) or Form PD 4632-3 (foi 13-week series) should
be used to submit tenders for bills to be maintained on the book-entry
records o f the Department o f the Treasury.
Each tender must be for a minimum o f $10,000. Tenders over $10,000
must be in multiples o f $5,000. In the case o f competitive tenders, the
price offered must be expressed on the basis o f 100, with three decimals,
e.g., 97.920. Fractions may not be used.
Banking institutions and dealers who make primary markets in
Government securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve Bank o f
New York their positions in and borrowings on such securities may sub­
mit tenders for account o f customers, if the names o f the customers and
the amount for each customer are furnished. Others are only permitted to
submit tenders for their own account. Each tender must state the amount
o f any net long position in the bills being offered if such position is in
excess o f $200 million. This information should reflect positions held as
o f 12:30 p.m ., Eastern time, on the day o f the auction. Such positions
would include bills acquired through “ when issued” trading, and futures
and forward transactions as well as holdings o f outstanding bills with the

same maturity date as the new offering, e.g., bills with three months to
maturity previously offered as six-month bills. Dealers who make primary
markets in Government securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve
Bank o f New York their positions in and borrowings on such securities,
when submitting tenders for customers, must submit a separate tender for
each customer whose net long position in the bills being offered exceeds
$200 million.
Payment for the full par amount o f the bills applied for must accom ­
pany all tenders submitted for bills to be maintained on the book-entry
records o f the Department o f 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.
N o deposit need accompany tenders from incorporated banks and
trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in invest­
ment securities for bills to be maintained on the book-entry records o f
Federal Reserve Banks and Branches. A deposit o f 2 percent o f the par
amount o f the bills applied for must accompany tenders for such bills
from others, unless an express guaranty o f payment by an incorporated
bank or trust company accompanies the tenders.
Public announcement will be made by the Department o f the Treasury
o f the amount and price range o f accepted bids. Competitive bidders will
be advised o f the acceptance or rejection o f their tenders. The Secretary
o f 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. Sub­
ject 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) o f accepted com ­
petitive bids for the respective issues.
Settlement for accepted tenders for bills to be maintained on the bookentry records o f Federal Reserve Banks and Branches must be made or
completed at the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch on September 9, 1982,
in cash or other immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills maturing
September 9, 1982; provided, however, that settlement for tenders sub­
mitted to the Federal Reserve Bank o f San Francisco and the Los Angeles
Branch must be completed at that bank or branch on September 10, 1982,
and must include one day’ s accrued interest if settlement is made with
other than Treasury bills maturing September 9, 1982. Cash adjustments
will be made for differences between the par value o f the maturing bills
accepted in exchange and the issue price o f the new bills.
Under Section 454(b) o f the Internal Revenue Code, the amount o f
discount at which these bills are sold is considered to accrue when the bills
are sold, redeemed, or otherwise disposed of. Section 1232(a)(4) provides
that any gain on the sale or redemption o f these bills that does not exceed
the ratable share o f the acquisition discount must be included in the
Federal income tax return o f the owner as ordinary income. The
acquisition discount is the excess o f the stated redemption price over the
taxpayer’ s basis (cost) for the bill. The ratable share o f this discount is
determined by multiplying such discount by a fraction, the numerator o f
which is the number o f days the taxpayer held the bill and the
denominator o f which is the number o f days from the day following the
taxpayer’ s date o f purchase to the maturity o f the bill. If the gain on the
sale o f a bill exceeds the taxpayer’ s ratable portion o f the acquisition
discount, the excess gain is treated as short-term capital gain.
Department o f the Treasury Circulars, Public Debt Series— Nos.
26-76 and 27-76, and this notice, prescribe the terms o f these Treasury
bills and govern the conditions o f their issue. Copies o f the circulars and
tender forms may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch,
or from the Bureau o f the Public Debt.

This Bank will receive tenders for both series up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Tuesday, September 7,
1982, at the Securities Department of its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. Tender forms for both series are enclosed.
Please use the appropriate forms to submit tenders and return them in the enclosed envelope marked “ Tender for
Treasury Bills.” Forms for submitting tenders directly to the Treasury are available from the Government Bond Division
of this Bank. Tenders not requiring a deposit may be submitted by telegraph, subject to written confirmation; no tenders
may be submitted by telephone. Payment for Treasury bills cannot be made by credit through the Treasury Tax and
Loan Account. Settlement must be made in cash or other immediately available funds or in Treasury securities maturing
on or before the issue date.
Results of the last weekly offering of Treasury bills are shown on the reverse side of this circular.
