Sec. 341.3  Purchase of bonds.

    (a) Agencies. Retirement Plan Bonds may be purchased over-the-
counter or by mail from Federal Reserve Banks and Branches and the 
Bureau of the Public Debt, Washington, DC 20226. Customers of commercial 
banks and trust companies may be able to arrange for the purchase of the 
bonds through such institutions, but only the Federal Reserve Banks and 
Branches and the Bureau of the Public Debt are authorized to act as 
official agencies, and the date of receipt of the application and 
payment by an official agency will govern the dating of the bonds 
issued.
    (b) Application. Applications for the purchase of Retirement Plan 
Bonds should be made on Form PD 3550, accompanied by a remittance to 
cover the purchase price. Personal checks will be accepted, subject to 
collection. Checks or other forms of exchange, should be drawn to the 
Federal Reserve Bank or United States Treasury, as the case may be. 
Checks payable by endorsement are not acceptable.
    (c) Delivery. Delivery of bonds will be made in person, or by mail 
at the risk and expense of the United States, at the address given by 
the purchaser, but only within the United States, its territories and 
possessions, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Canal Zone. No 
mail deliveries elsewhere will be made. If the registered owner 
temporarily resides abroad, the bonds will be delivered to such address 
in the United States as the purchaser directs.
