PART 306_GENERAL REGULATIONS GOVERNING U.S. SECURITIES--Table of Contents
 
               Subpart C_Transfers, Exchanges and Reissues
 
Sec.  306.15  Transfers and exchanges of securities--closed periods.


    (a) General. The transfer of registered securities should be made by 
assignment in accordance with subpart F of this part. Transferable 
registered securities are eligible for denominational exchange. Specific 
instructions for issuance and delivery of the new securities, signed by 
the owner or his authorized representative, must accompany the 
securities presented. (Form PD 3905 or PD 1827, as appropriate, may be 
used.) Denominational exchanges may be made at any time. Securities 
presented for transfer must be received by the Bureau not less than 1 
full month before the date on which the securities mature or become 
redeemable pursuant to a call for redemption before maturity. Any 
security so presented which is received too late to comply with this 
provision will be accepted for payment only.
    (b) Closing of transfer books. The transfer books are closed for one 
full month preceding interest payment dates and call or maturity dates. 
If the date set for closing of the transfer books falls on Saturday, 
Sunday, or a legal holiday, the books will be closed as of the close of 
business on the last business day preceding that date. The books are 
reopened on the first business day following the date on which interest 
falls due. Registered securities which have not matured or been called, 
submitted for transfer, reissue, and coupon securities which have not 
matured or been called, submitted for exchange for registered 
securities, which are received during the period the books for that loan 
are closed, will be processed on or after the date such books are 
reopened. If registered securities are received for transfer, or coupon 
securities are received for exchange for registered securities, during

the time the books are closed for payment of final interest at maturity 
or call, unless otherwise provided in the offering circular or notice of 
call, the following action will be taken:
    (1) Payment of final interest will be made to the registered owner 
of record on the date the books were closed.
    (2) Payment of principal will be made to the assignee under a proper 
assignment of the securities.
