31 CFR 356.22: Does the Treasury have any limitations on auction awards?
Where this section sits in the code
- Title 31—Money and Finance: Treasury
- Subtitle B—Regulations Relating to Money and Finance
- CHAPTER II—FISCAL SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
- SUBCHAPTER A—BUREAU OF THE FISCAL SERVICE
- PART 356—SALE AND ISSUE OF MARKETABLE BOOK-ENTRY TREASURY BILLS, NOTES, AND BONDS (DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY CIRCULAR, FISCAL SERVICE SERIES NO. 1-93)
- Subpart C—Determination of Auction Awards; Settlement
(a) Awards to noncompetitive bidders. The maximum award to any noncompetitive bidder is $10 million. This limit does not apply to bidders bidding solely through a request to reinvest the proceeds of a maturing security held directly with Treasury.
(b) Awards to competitive bidders. The maximum award is 35 percent of the offering amount less the bidder's net long position as reportable under § 356.13. For example, in a note auction with a $10 billion offering amount, and therefore a maximum award of $3.5 billion, a bidder with a reported net long position of $1 billion could receive a maximum auction award of $2.5 billion. When the bids and net long positions of more than one person or entity must be combined, as is the case with investment advisers and controlled accounts (See § 356.15(c).), we will use this combined amount for the purpose of this 35 percent award limit.
