Call Provision
The coupon rate.
A noncallable bond is a debenture which the company or institution that issued it cannot force you to redeem before the final call date (i.e. they can't call it). For example, if you purchased a 30-year bond in 2005 with a 4.5% coupon, the issuer today would like to call that bond because they can borrow money more cheaply (i.e. at a lower interest rate). But if the bond is noncallable they cannot do that. The trade-off is that a noncallable bond generally has a slightly lower nominal coupon.

Call Provision
A call provision is a provision that gives the issuers of bonds (or other fixed income instrument) the right but not responsibility to repurchase the bonds or redeem a security prior to it maturing. A call provision will almost always favor the issuer rather than the investor.

---- Depending on the number of days to call (or maturity), coupon rate, and price paid, any bond will have a different yield to worst (the lower of the yield to maturity or yield to call). If you decide to hold the bond to the potential call date or maturity date, the only risk assumed will be the risk of the issuer's default or coupon reset. This risk is qualified by rating agencies, such as Standard & Poor's, with bond ratings like AAA or BB, etc. AAA municipal bonds are commonly insured against the issuer's default. If you want to sell a municipal bond before the maturity or call date, you additionally bear the market risk of price fluctuations. These fluctuations will be mainly due to expectations about future interest rate changes in the market (e.g., Fed Fund Rate by FOMC).
