The convention for calculating interest is parmultiplied by the coupon rate divided by 2 for each CUSIP rolling up to a total interestdue for each series. The 1st coupon paid is based on actual number of days fromclosing to 1st payment for a new bond series. CUSIP numbers can change if a CUSIPis only partially defeased so TMS should allow for CUSIP numbers to be changed.Some of the series have split coupons meaning there can be 2 maturities for the samedate at different interest rates but they will have different cusips. For example, seriesXYZ could have $10 million maturing on 5/15/18 with a 5% coupon and $2 millionmaturing on 5/15/18 with a 3% coupon. There are also term bonds that will have thesame rate but different maturity dates that will all share the same CUSIP.
