FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF NEW YORK
F iscal A g e n t o f th e U n ite d S tates
Circular No. 9721
August 24, 1984

Offering of $8,250,000,000 of 364-Day Treasury Bills
Dated September 6,1984

Due September 5,1985

To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

Following is the text o f a notice issued by the Treasury Department:
The Department of the Treasury, by this public notice, invites tenders
for approximately $8,250 million of 364-day Treasury bills to be dated
September 6, 1984, and to mature September 5, 1985 (CUSIP No. 912794
HL1). This issue will provide about $475 million new cash for the
Treasury, as the maturing 52-week bill was originally issued in the amount
of $7,773 million.

In accordance with provisions o f the Tax Reform Act o f 1984 and the
regulations thereunder, these securities do not qualify fo r the repeal o f the
30 percent withholding tax on interest received by foreign investors.
The bills will be issued for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills
maturing September 6, 1984. In addition to the maturing 52-week bills,
there are $12,685 million of maturing bills which were originally issued as
13-week and 26-week bills. The disposition of this latter amount will be
announced next week. Federal Reserve Banks as agents for foreign and
international monetary authorities currently hold $1,803 million, and
Federal Reserve Banks for their own account hold $5,017 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 bank dis­
count rate of accepted competitive tenders. Additional amounts of the
bills may be issued to Federal Reserve Banks, as agents for foreign and in­
ternational 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 $75
million of the original 52-week issue.
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. This 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. 20239, prior to 1:00
p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Thursday, August 30, 1984. Form
PD 4632-1 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 state the par amount of bills bid for, which must be
a minimum of $10,000. Tenders over $10,000 must be in multiples of
$5,000. Competitive tenders must also show the yield desired, expressed
on a bank discount rate basis with two decimals, e.g., 7.15%. Fractions
may not be used. A single bidder, as defined in Treasury’s single bidder
guidelines, shall not submit noncompetitive tenders totaling more than
$ 1, 000 , 000 .

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. Dealers who make primary markets in Govern­

ment 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.
A noncompetitive bidder may not have entered into an agreement, nor
make an agreement to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose of any non­
competitive awards of this issue being auctioned prior to the designated
closing time for receipt of tenders.
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 yield 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 $1,000,000 or less
without stated yield from any one bidder will be accepted in full at the
weighted average bank discount rate (in two decimals) of accepted com­
petitive bids. The calculation of purchase prices for accepted bids will be
carried to three decimal places on the basis of price per hundred, e.g.,
99.923, and the determinations of the Secretary of the Treasury shall be
final.
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 September 6, 1984,
in cash or other immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills maturing
September 6, 1984. 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. In addition, Treasury Tax and Loan Note
Option Depositaries may make payment for allotments of bills for their
own accounts and for account of customers by credit to their Treasury
Tax and Loan Note Accounts on the settlement date.
In general, if a bill is purchased at issue after July 18, 1984, and held
to maturity, the amount of discount is reportable as ordinary income in
the Federal income tax return of the owner at the time of redemption.
Accrual-basis taxpayers, banks, and other persons designated in section
1281 of the Internal Revenue Code must 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 of before maturity, the
portion of the gain equal to the accrued discount will be treated as
ordinary income. Any excess may be treated as capital gain.
Department of the Treasury Circulars, Public Debt Series—Nos. 26-76
and 27-76, Treasury’s single bidder guidelines, and this notice, prescribe the
terms of these Treasury bills and govern the conditions of their issue.
Copies of the circulars, guidelines, and tender forms may be obtained from
any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch, or from the Bureau of the Public Debt.
