Treasury bills are sold by single-price auctions held weekly. Offering amounts for 13-week and 26-week bills are announced each Thursday for auction on the following Monday and settlement, or issuance, on Thursday. Offering amounts for 4-week and 8-week bills are announced on Monday for auction the next day, Tuesday, and issuance on Thursday.
The return on a treasury bill is determined at auction on a regular basis — 52-week bills are auctioned every four weeks, while 4-, 8-, 13-, 17- and 26-week bills are auctioned weekly.
