The attached list names 42 securities, each identified by a CUSIP, with maturities running from May 2040 to August 2046. Coupon rates range widely:
Lowest coupon: 1.125%, on two 2040 maturities
Highest coupon: 5.000%, on a May 2045 maturity
Final list: released at 11:00 a.m. ET on operation day
One detail stands out. The notice gives a maturity range starting in February 2037, yet the preliminary list begins in 2040, so the final selection may differ.
The notice sets out several conditions for the US Treasury debt buyback:
Governing rules: 31 CFR part 375, though the announcement’s terms take precedence if the two differ
Certification: tendering an offer counts as certifying compliance with the regulations and the announcement
Delivery: securities go to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on settlement date
Failed delivery: a penalty fee applies under the market practices group’s fails charge methodology

Government repurchase programs are generally framed as liquidity and cash-management tools, though this notice states no purpose. It is reported as a repeat round, but the documents reviewed include no earlier results, so comparisons on size or participation cannot be drawn.
For the US Treasury debt buyback, the final CUSIP list and any results released afterward will be the figures to watch.

Together, the 2043, 2044, and 2045 maturities account for 24 of the 42 securities, about 57% of the pool. This is a feature of the preliminary list only, since the final selection could change. The 2040 maturities form the smallest group, with three securities.
Three items will shape coverage after the 2:00 p.m. ET close:
Results: the amount accepted and the prices paid, once published
Market reaction: moves in bond yields and in risk assets, including crypto, during the sessions that follow
Further rounds: any new operation announced by the department
The US Treasury debt buyback is a rules-based operation under 31 CFR part 375, and the notice offers no commentary on market conditions. Final figures should be taken from official releases, since preliminary lists can change before the operation opens.
