Sec. 344.6

(c) Payment.

Interest earned on the securities is added to the principal and is reinvested daily until redemption. At any time the Secretary determines that issuance of obligations sufficient to conduct the orderly financing operations of the United States cannot be made without exceeding the statutory debt limit, the Department will invest any unredeemed demand deposit securities in special ninety-day certificates of indebtedness. These ninety-day certificates are payable at maturity, but redeemable before maturity, provided funds are available for redemption, or reinvested in demand deposit securities when regular Treasury borrowing operations resume, both at the owner's option. Funds invested in the ninety-day certificates of indebtedness earn simple interest equal to the daily factor in effect at the time demand deposit security issuance is suspended, multiplied by the number of days outstanding.
