FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK

Fiscal Agent of the United States

Circular No. 9409
November 24, 1982

OFFERING OF TWO SERIES OF TREASURY BILLS
$5,800,000,000 of 91-Day Bills, To Be Issued December 2, 1982, Due March 3, 1983
$5,800,000,000 of 182-Day Bills, To Be Issued December 2, 1982, Due June 2, 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 of the Treasury, by this public notice, invites tenders
for two series of Treasury bills totaling approximately $ 11,600 million, to
be issued December 2, 1982. This offering will provide $1,150 million of
new cash for the Treasury, as the maturing bills were originally issued in
the amount of $10,450 million. The two series offered are as follows:
91-day bills (to maturity date) for approximately $5,800 million,
representing an additional amount of bills dated September 2,
1982, and to mature March 3, 1983 (CUSIP No. 912794 CL6),
currently outstanding in the amount of $5,512 million, the
additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable.
182-day bills for approximately $5,800 million, to be dated
December 2, 1982, and to mature June 2, 1983 (CUSIP No.
912794 CW 2).
Both series of bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury
bills maturing December 2, 1982. In addition to the maturing 13-week and
26-week bills, there are $5,194 million of maturing 52-week bills. The
disposition of this latter amount was announced last week. Federal
Reserve Banks, as agents for foreign and international monetary
authorities, currently hold $1,736 million, and Federal Reserve Banks for
their own account hold $3,546 million of the maturing bills. These
amounts represent the combined holdings of such accounts for the three
issues of 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 of accepted competitive tenders. Additional
amounts of the bills may be issued 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 bills held by them. For purposes of determining such
additional amounts, foreign and international monetary authorities are
considered to hold $1,361 million of 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 of bills will be issued entirely in book-entry
form in a minimum amount of $10,000 and in any higher $5,000 multiple,
on the records either of the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, or of
the Department of the Treasury.
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 Standard time, Monday, November 29, 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 of the Department of the Treasury.
Each tender must be for a minimum of $10,000. Tenders over $10,000
must be in multiples of $5,000. In the case of 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 of
New York their positions in and borrowings on such securities may sub­
mit 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. Each tender must state the amount
of any net long position in the bills being offered if such position is in
excess of $200 million. This information should reflect positions held as
o f 12:30 p m ., Eastern time, on the day of the auction. Such positions

would include bills acquired through “ when issued’ ’ trading, and futures
and forward transactions as well as holdings of outstanding bills with the
same maturity date as the new offering, e.g., bills with three months iO
maturity previously offered as six-month bills. 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,
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 of the bills applied for must accom­
pany all tenders submitted for bills to be maintained on the book-entry
records of the Department of 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.
No 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 of
Federal Reserve Banks and Branches. A deposit of 2 percent of the par
amount o f the bills applied for must accompany tenders for such bills
from others, unless an express guaranty of payment by an incorporated
bank or trust company accompanies the tenders.
Public announcement will be made by the Department of the Treasury
of the amount and price range of accepted bids. Competitive bidders will
be advised of the acceptance or rejection of their tenders. The Secretary
of 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) of accepted com­
petitive bids for the respective issues.
Settlement for accepted tenders for bills to be maintained on the bookentry records of Federal Reserve Banks and Branches must be made or
completed at the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch on December 2, 1982,
in cash or other immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills maturing
December 2, 1982. Cash adjustments will be made for differences
between the par value of the maturing bills accepted in exchange and the
issue price of the new bills.
Under Section 454(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, the amount of
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 of these bills that does not exceed
the ratable share of the acquisition discount must be included in the
Federal income tax return of the owner as ordinary income. The
acquisition discount is the excess of the stated redemption price over the
taxpayer’ s basis (cost) for the bill. The ratable share of this discount is
determined by multiplying such discount by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days the taxpayer held the bill and the
denominator of which is the number of days from the day following the
taxpayer’ s date of purchase to the maturity of the bill. If the gain on the
sale of a bill exceeds the taxpayer’ s ratable portion of the acquisition
discount, the excess gain is treated as short-term capital gain.
Department of the Treasury Circulars, Public Debt Series—-Nos.
26-76 and 27-76, and this notice, prescribe the terms of these Treasury
bills and govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circulars and
tender forms may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch,
or from the Bureau of the Public Debt.

This Bank will receive tenders for both series up to 1:30 p.m., Eastern Standard time, Monday, November 29, 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.
