Both series o f bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury
bills maturing November 26, 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, W ashington, D .C . 20226, up to 1:30 p .m .,
Eastern Standard time, M onday, November 22, 1982. Form P D 4632-2 (for
26-week series) or Form P D 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 .,
9 7 .920. Fractions may not be used.
Banking institutions and dealers w ho make primary markets in
Governm ent securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve Bank o f
New York their positions in and borrowings on such securities m ay sub­
mit tenders for account o f customers, if the names o f the customers and
the am ount 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 m illion. 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 Governm ent securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve
Bank o f New Y ork 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 m illion.
Payment for the full par am ount 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 accom pany 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
am ount o f the bills applied for must accom pany tenders for such bills
from others, unless an express guaranty o f payment by an incorporated
bank or trust com pany accompanies the tenders.
Public announcement will be made by the Department o f the Treasury
o f the am ount 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
$ 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 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 c om ­
petitive bids for the respective issues.
Settlement for accepted tenders for bills to be maintained on the b o o k entry records o f Federal Reserve Banks and Branches must be m ade or
completed at the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch on N ovem ber 26, 1982,
in cash or other immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills maturing
N ovem ber 26, 1982. Cash adjustments will be made for differences be­
tween 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 C o d e, the am ount o f
discount at which these bills are sold is considered to accrue when the bills
are sold, redeemed, or otherwise disposed o f. 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 incom e. 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
denom inator 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— N o s.
2 6 -7 6 and 2 7 -7 6 , 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 form s m ay be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch,

This Bank will receive tenders for both series up to 1:30 p.m ., Eastern Standard time, M onday, November 22, 1982,
