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 October 21, 1982. This offering will provide $925 million o f new
cash for the Treasury, as the maturing bills are outstanding in the amount
o f $10,272 million, including $865 million currently held by Federal
Reserve Banks as agents for foreign and international monetary
authorities and $1,635 million currently held by Federal Reserve Banks
for their own account. 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 July 22, 1982,
and to mature January 20, 1983 (CUSIP No. 912794 CG7),
currently outstanding in the amount o f $5,529 million, the
additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills (to maturity date) for approximately $5,600 million,
representing an additional amount o f bills dated April 22, 1982,
and to mature April 21, 1983 (CUSIP No. 912794 CB8), cur­
rently outstanding in the amount o f 5,269 million, the additional
and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
Both series o f bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury
bills maturing October 21, 1982. 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.
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, Monday, October 18, 1982. 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 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 October 21, 1982, in
cash or other immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills maturing
October 21, 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, Monday, October 18,
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.
