In such uniform price auctions, successful bidders pay only the price of the lowest accepted bid rather than the actual price as in a conventional multiple-price auction.

Bids will be accepted from authorized dealers from 9:00 a.m. (1300 GMT), until 9:45 a.m. (1345 GMT).

Settlement is Oct 15-16. (Reporting by Caryn Trokie; Editing by Theodore d'Afflisio)
