U.S.C. 1363(a). Related Federal

the bonds will vary quarterly and will

Treasury bills auctioned during the 

preceding calendar quarter, or 3 per 

centum per annum, but in no case less 

than zero. [FR Doc. 2015–18545]. In 

addition to this Notice, Treasury posts 

the current quarterly rate in Table 2b—
