This represents an increase of over 61 percent from 1984, and a ninefold increase over the last 10 years. These bonds, which were issued for the direct benefit of private businesses, organizations, and individuals, accounted for 54 percent of the total long-term tax-exempt bond volume in 1985 [2]. Interestingly, despite the large increase in dollar volume, the percentage of the long-term bond market accounted for by private activity bonds dropped slightly from its 64 percent share in 1984. The relative decline in private activity bonds compared to public-purpose bonds resulted from an unprecedented jump in the volume of public-purpose tax-exempt bonds in 1985, which in turn was due to uncertainty about the direction of pending tax legislation. The growth of both private activity and public-purpose bond volume is illustrated in Figure A. This article provides information on four types of private activity bonds: industrial development bonds (IDB's), private exempt entity bonds, student loan bonds, and qualified mortgage bonds. Since 1983, issuers of the first three types of private activity bonds were required to file detailed information reports with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), providing data on the types and uses of those bonds. The U.S. Congress, as part of the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, extended the reporting requirement to qualified mortgage bonds issued in 1985 or later Each of these bond types is described in the Definitions section of this article.

Prepared under the direction of Michael Alexander, Chief. 43 ~ Private Activity Tax-Exempt Bonds, 1985 44. During the .3-year reporting period, the total long-term volume of private activity bonds (including mortgage bonds) increased from $571 billion to $119.4 billion. Prior to 1985, the largest category of private activity bond (by volume) was that of IDB's issued for private businesses under the small-issue exemption. In 1985, however, small-issue IDB's ranked a distant third in volume, at $177 billion. The hidhest,volume of private activity bonds was attributable to private exempt entity bonds (issued for certain medical and educational facilities), which amounted to $38.2 billion,.and IDB's issued to fund multi-family rental housing, which amounted to $25.0 billion. Short- and long-term private'a6tivity bond volume issued in 1985 totaled $1276 billion. Of that total, $99.4 billion was new issue volume.. New issue, volume is defined as thb'purchase price of a bond less any portion of the proceeds used to retire existing obligations. Thus new issue volume represents the net increase in outstanding, obligations (excluding non'-refunded, retirements). New issue volume reached its highest levels ever in 1985, increasing by about 50 percent from 1984 to 1985, and'nearly doubling during the 3-year pe ri6d from 1983 to 1985. The most dramatic.gai ns were shown by private exempt entity bonds (which nearly tripled in volume from 1984 to 198~) and multFfamily rental housng b_o_ inds_(Whicff-m`® re than qua Fu-pl&d_FFi_ gure B-shows.. the new issue volume for the various types of private activity bonds over the 3-year reporting period [3]. BACKGROUND The Federal income tax exemption for interest on State, and local bonds was originally intended to provide a sub' sidy.for Government projects, Such as highways, by enabling State and local Governments to obtain funding 'at lower interest costs. As'these bonds began to be Iissued increasingly for'nongovernment uses, the Federal G overnment was-prompted to re-examine its policies in this area, Private-purpose bonds serve a legitimate purpose by allow- ing State and local Governments to promote economic development and housing in their jurisdictions while incurring little or no costs themselves. Nevertheless, these bonds shift investment dollars away from other revenue-producing alternatives, which results in a significant loss of Federal tax revenue. It is estimated that the exemption from taxation of the interest from private- purpose, bonds issued in 1985 alone will result in revenue losses amounting to $58 billion over' the term of the bonds [4]. This revenue loss is, in effect, the cost of a Federal subsidy for State and local activities. Recent studies, however, suggest that this may not be the most efficient method of promoting these activities. The savings in interest costs to the bond-issuing State or local authority is believed to be less than the revenue loss to the Federal Government [5]. The difference goes not to the targeted activity, -but to Federal taxpayers (usually those in the upper income brackets) or.bth.er entities who hold the bonds. As a point of comparison, grants-in-aid, another; common Federal subsidy for State and local activity, are , more efficient, with only a small fraction of the subsidy 0 oing to administrative costs. -In-addition-to-the-loss-of-Federal-tax-revenue-the-use-bfI tax-exempt bonclsfor private purposes may-also have other undesirable effects. By increasing-the total supply of tax- exempL obligations, the proliferation OT private activity bonds causes interest rates on'all tax-exempt instruments to rise in order 'to attract potential investors. These higher interest rates raise the cost of financing traditional Government activities such as constructing schools, roads, and sewers [6]. 'Concern over these issues, coupled with the dramatic increase in private activ'ity' bond volume, prompted the U.S. Congress to*place a number of limitations on such bonds in , the 1980's. Originally', the~Tax Equity and Fiscal Re'sponsibil-" ity Act of 1982 required issuers of IDB's, private exempt entity bonds" and student loan bonds to file a report with the Figure B.-New Issue.Private Activity Bond Volume, 1983-85 [Millionslof dollars] kew issue volume Type of bond 1983 Total .......................................

The Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 extended the reporting requirement to cover qualified mortgage bonds issued after 1984, and established a State-byState volume limitation on certain obligations issued after December 31, 1983. This cap covered all private activity bonds except private exempt entity bonds; multi-family rental housing bonds; and certain airport, dock, convention facility and refunding bonds. Each State's limit was the greater of $150 per capita ($100 per capita after 1986) or $200 million. Because issuers were permitted to carry forward certain unused portions of their volume caps, the 1985 bond volume figures included in this article do not necessarily reflect amounts subject to the 1985 volume cap. Table 1 shows the face amount and new-issue volume by type of private activity bond. Industrial development bonds are shown by type of activity. The bonds are further categorized into short-term obligations (obligations that have average maturities of a year or less) and long-term obligations. Shown in columns 4, 5, and 6 is the new-issue volume. For instance, a bond issue with a $100 million purchase price sold to refund a $95 million outstanding obligation would constitute $5 million of new issues. New-issue volume, therefore, represents the net increase in private activity bonds (excluding non-refunded retirements). Approximately 18 percent of the total face amount of long-term private activity bonds went to refund prior issues in 1985. A number of proposals to curtail tax-exempt bonds were considered during the development of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The original Treasury Department proposal, for example, called for the elimination of the tax exemption for all private activity bonds, and placed restrictions on publicpurpose bonds as well. Concern over the direction of pending legislation caused a "rush-to-market" which led to sharply increased volume levels for both private- and public-purpose bonds in 1985. Another factor contributing to the high volume of tax-exempt bond issues was the anticipation that the pending Tax Reform Act would eliminate preferential treatment of capital gains (as, in fact, it did), thereby further increasing the attractiveness of investment in the tax-exempt bond market. Nevertheless, early data on 1986 tax-exempt bond volume suggest a return to 1984 levels. Thus, it seems probable that much of the 1985 increase in activity was attributable to an effort to issue bonds before January 1, 1986. . Table 2 shows the aggregate face amount, purchase price, and lendable proceeds for long-term private activity bonds, as well as the issuance costs and the amounts allocated to reserve or replacement funds. Amounts used to refund outstanding issues are excluded from the non-refunding lendable proceeds, which are required to be used primarily to purchase land and depreciable property. Refunding proceeds accounted for over one-third of the total lendable proceeds for student loan bonds and private exempt entity bonds. A minor portion of the lendable pr oceeds can be used for other purposes, such as working capital. The Tax Reform Act of 1986, as passed, contained no such sweeping changes with respect to tax-exempt bonds, although it did repeal, as of 1987, the tax exemptions of several types of IDB's. Included in these were pollution control bonds, of which $9.5 billion were issued in 1985. The Act also extended the information reporting requirement to cover public-purpose tax-exempt bonds as well as private activity bonds, beginning with bonds issued in 1987. DATA ANALYSIS A total of 16,842 information returns were filed for private activity bonds issued in 1985. This article concentrates on the dollar volume of the bonds issued, rather than the number of returns filed, because the number of returns does not accurately reflect the number of private activities financed with tax-exempt bonds. Multiple returns may be filed for a single activity when a bond is refunded, especially in the case of short-term obligations that have maturities of as little as 1 day. On the other hand, some returns include descriptions of many activities (multiple-lot issues), thereby reducing the number of returns filed. Table 3 shows, for long-term IDB's and private exempt entity bonds, the allocation of non-refunding lendable proceeds. Of the proceeds, almost 90 percent was used to finance purchases of depreciable property, while 6 percent went for land purchases, and under 5 percent went for other uses. Issuers of private exempt entity bonds and IDB's were required to provide information on the industrial classification of the initial principal users of the projects being financed. As Table 4 shows, private hospitals and educational facilities accounted for 93 percent of the total exemption entity bond volume on those returns for which the industrial activity was reported. Small-issue IDB's were used most frequently for manufacturing (34 percent), followed by real estate (22 percent), and services (19 percent). The proceeds of I DB's not categorized as small issues were used primarily for real estate (50 percent), and for facilities engaged in the provision of electricity, gas, and sanitary services (25 percent). Figure C shows the percentage of the total face amount for small-issue IDB's in each of the four largest industrial classifications for 1983, 1984, and 1985. Only those returns that reported an industry are included in the computations. By law, small issue IDB's were limited to $1 million per user per county or $10 million, if capital expenditures on the 46 Ptivate Activity Tax-Exempt Bonds, 1985 Figure C.-Industrial Classification of Small Issue IDB's, 1983-85 Percentage of total face amount Industry All industries ........

The $10 million limit was increased from $5million in 1979. It has been speculated that raising the limit sparked the rapid growth of small-issue IDB's. Table 5 shows the size distribution of small-issue IDB's. Twenty-nine percent of small-issue IDI3 volume (6.5 percent of the returns) was from bond issues with face amounts of $5 million to $10 million. Only 16.6 percent of the volume -(but-56.2-percent-of-the-returns)-was-from-issues-of-$1 million or less. The mean size of the face amounts on smallissue IDB's issued in 1985 was $1.6 million. Because the entire population of Forms 8038 was used for this study, there was no sampling error The data may, however, reflect a certain amount of filer and processing error. Throughout the processing of the forms, a number of checks were performed to ensure that each return was internally consistent, and to exclude cluplicat e and amended returns. Both automatic and manual correction ' routines were performed to balance return data and to supply data missing from the returns. Despite these efforts, a small number of returns remained with missing or inconsistent data. This necessitated that a portion of the dataI (for example in Table 3) be expressed in percenfagesriathe r than as aggregate figures. DEFINITIONS Table 6 shows the total new-issue volume by type of bond for each State. Every State issued at least $35 million in new private. exempt entity bonds, while every State except Hawaii issued a small-issue IDB. Idaho, Vermont, and Wyoming were the only States that did not issue IDB's. for multi-family housing. Private Activity Bonds.-Consists of four types of taxexempt, State or local Government bonds issued for nonpublic-purpose uses: industrial development bonds, private exempt entity bonds, student loan bonds, and qualified mortgage bonds. Private activity bonds were classified as shomtterm if their final maturity was l'yeafr or less from their date of issue. Figure D shows the percentage change in new-issue volume from 1983 to 1985 for each of the nine Census divisions that make up the United States. Overall, new-issue volume increased by 130 percent, with above average growth occurring in the Northeast and on the West Coast. Industrial Development Bonds (IDB's).-State or local Government obligations, all or a major portion of the proceeds of which are used in a private trade or business, with payments of principal and interest secured by the property used in a private trade or business.

NOTES AND REFERENCES Residential Rental Housing Industrial Development Bonds.-These are I DB's issued to finance multi-family residential rental projects. In general, at least 20 percent of the units in the project financed (15 percent in certain targeted areas) must be occupied by individuals or families in the lower income ranges. [2] Total long-term volume is derived from data available from Bond Buyer as adjusted for privately- placed small issue IDB's. Student Loan Bonds.-State or local Government obligations issued to finance the education expenses of individuals. Private Exempt Entity Bonds.-State or local Government obligations, issued for tax-exempt charitable, religious, education, and similar organizations (described in Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3)), but which are primarily issued for private, nonprofit medical facilities and colleges. Oualified Mortgage Bonds.-These are State and local obligations issued to finance mortgages for owner-occupied residences. In general, the mortgages must be loaned to new homeowners, and there are certain restrictions on the purchase price of the residences financed, as well as the location of the residences. Ill The term "private activity bonds," as used in this article, refers to industrial development bonds, student loan bonds, private exempt entity bonds, qualified mortgage subsidy bonds, and qualified veterans' general obligation bonds.
