Com petitive bidders will be advised o f the acceptance or rejection o f 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, noncom petitive tenders for each issue for $1,000,000 or less w ithout stated yield from any one bidder will be ac cepted in full at the weighted average bank discount rate (in two decimals) o f accepted competitive bids for the respective issues.

In general, if a bill is purchased at issue after July 18, 1984, and held to m aturity, the am ount o f discount is reportable as ordinary income in the Federal income tax return o f the owner at the time o f redem ption. Accrual-basis taxpayers, banks, and other persons designated in section 1281 of the Internal Revenue Code m ust include in income the portion of the discount for the period during the taxable year such holder held the bill. If the bill is sold or otherwise disposed o f before m aturity, the p or tion o f the gain equal to the accrued discount will be treated as ordinary income. Any excess m ay be treated as capital gain.
