STANDARD TERMS OF TREASURY BILL OFFERINGS
AS PRESCRIBED BY THE TREASURY DEPARTM ENT
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 submit 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 bill 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 noncompetitive 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 accompany 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 investment securities for bills to be maintained on the bookentry 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. Subject to these reservations,
noncompetitive tenders for each issue 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
competitive bids for the respective issues. 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.
(Over)

Settlement for accepted tenders for bills to be maintained on the book-entry records of Federal
Reserve Banks and Branches must be made or completed at the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch on
the issue date, in cash or other immediately-available funds or in Treasury bills maturing on that
date. 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, 27-76, and 2-86, as
applicable, the Treasury’s single bidder guidelines, and the offering circular, prescribe the terms of
each series of Treasury bills and govern the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circulars,
guidelines, and tender forms may be obtained from our Government Bond Department or from the
Bureau of the Public Debt.
