FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK Fiscal Agent of the United States Circular No. 9442 January 19, 1983 OFFERING OF TWO SERIES OF TREASURY BILLS $6,000,000,000 of 91-Day Bills, To Be Issued January 27, 1983, Due April 28, 1983 $6,000,000,000 of 182-Day Bills, To Be Issued January 27, 1983, Due July 28, 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 Departm ent: The Department of the Treasury, by this public notice, invites tenders for two series of Treasury bills totaling approximately $12,000 million, to be issued January 27, 1983. This offering will provide $850 million of new cash for the Treasury, as the regular 13-week and 26-week bill maturities were issued in the amount of $11,162 million. The two series offered are as follows: 91-day bills (to maturity date) for approximately $6,000 million, representing an additional amount of bills dated October 28, 1982, and to mature April 28, 1983 (CUSIP No. 912794 CS1), currently outstanding in the amount of $8,630 million, the additional and original bills to be freely interchangeable. 182-day bills for approximately $6,000 million, to be dated January 27, 1983, and to mature July 28, 1983 (CUSIP No. 912794 DK7). Both series of bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills maturing January 27, 1983. In addition to the maturing 13-week and 26-week bills, there are $5,294 million of maturing 52-week bills and $4,006 million of maturing cash management bills. The disposition of these latter amounts was announced last week. Federal Reserve Banks, as agents for foreign and international monetary authorities, currently hold $1,574 million, and Federal Reserve Banks for their own account hold $2,481 million of the maturing bills. These amounts represent the com bined holdings of such accounts for the three regular 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 $1,249 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, January 24, 1983. 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 of 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 of 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 to 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 of 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 January 27, 1983, in cash or other immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills maturing January 27, 1983. 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, January 24, 1983, at the Securities Department of its Flead 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 fo r 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.
