Sec.  356.17  How and when do I pay for securities awarded in an 
auction?

* * * * *
    (d) * * *
    (1) A submitter that does not have a funds account at a Federal 
Reserve Bank or that chooses not to pay by charge to its own funds 
account must have an approved autocharge agreement on file with us 
before submitting any bids. Any depository institution whose funds 
account will be charged under an autocharge agreement will receive 
advance notice from us of the total par amount of, and price to be 
charged for, securities awarded as a result of the submitter's bids.
    (2) A submitter that is a member of a clearing corporation may 
instruct that delivery and payment be made through the clearing 
corporation for securities awarded to the submitter for its own 
account. To do this, the following requirements must be met prior to 
submitting any bids:
    (i) We must have acknowledged and have on file an autocharge 
agreement between the clearing corporation and a depository 
institution. By entering into such an agreement, the clearing 
corporation authorizes us to provide aggregate par and price 
information to the depository institution whose funds account will be 
charged under the agreement. The clearing corporation is responsible 
for remitting payment for auction awards of the clearing corporation 
member.
    (ii) We must have acknowledged and have on file a delivery and 
payment agreement between the submitter and the clearing corporation. 
By entering into such an agreement, the submitter authorizes us to 
provide award and payment information to the clearing corporation.

    Dated: November 21, 2005.

Commissioner of the Public Debt.
