DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Departmental Offices; Debt
Management Advisory Committee
Meeting
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. App. 2, § 10(a)(2), that a meeting
will be held at the Hay-Adams Hotel,
16th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue,
NW., Washington, DC, on November 1,
2005 at 3 p.m. of the following debt
management advisory committee:
Treasury Borrowing Advisory
Committee of The Bond Market
Association (‘‘Committee’’).
The agenda for the meeting provides
for a charge by the Secretary of the
Treasury or his designate that the
Committee discuss particular issues,
and a working session. Following the
working session, the Committee will
present a written report of its
recommendations. The meeting will be
closed to the public, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. App. 2, § 10(d) and Pub. L. 103–
202, § 202(c)(1)(B) (31 U.S.C. 3121 note).
This notice shall constitute my
determination, pursuant to the authority
placed in heads of agencies by 5 U.S.C.
App. 2, § 10(d) and vested in me by
Treasury Department Order No. 101–05,
that the meeting will consist of
discussions and debates of the issues
presented to the Committee by the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
making of recommendations of the
Committee to the Secretary, pursuant to
Pub. L. 103–202, § 202(c)(1)(B). Thus,
this information is exempt from
disclosure under that provision and 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(3)(B). In addition, the
meeting is concerned with information
that is exempt from disclosure under 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(A). The public interest
requires that such meetings be closed to
the public because the Treasury
Department requires frank and full
advice from representatives of the
financial community prior to making its
final decisions on major financing
operations. Historically, this advice has
been offered by debt management
advisory committees established by the
several major segments of the financial
community. When so utilized, such a
committee is recognized to be an
advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App.
2, § 3.
Although the Treasury’s final
announcement of financing plans may
not reflect the recommendations
provided in reports of the Committee,
premature disclosure of the Committee’s
deliberations and reports would be
likely to lead to significant financial
speculation in the securities market.
Thus, this meeting falls within the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:12 Oct 26, 2005
Jkt 208001
exemption covered by 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(9)(A).
Treasury staff will provide a technical
briefing to the press on the day before
the Committee meeting, following the
release of a statement of economic
conditions, financing estimates and
technical charts. This briefing will give
the press an opportunity to ask
questions about financing projections
and technical charts. The day after the
Committee meeting, Treasury will
release the minutes of the meeting, any
charts that were discussed at the
meeting, and the Committee’s report to
the Secretary. Treasury is providing less
than the standard 15 days’ notice of the
meeting due to an unusual
administrative error.
The Office of Debt Management is
responsible for maintaining records of
debt management advisory committee
meetings and for providing annual
reports setting forth a summary of
Committee activities and such other
matters as may be informative to the
public consistent with the policy of 5
U.S.C. 552(b). The Designated Federal
Officer or other responsible agency
official who may be contacted for
additional information is Jeff Huther,
Director, Office of Debt Management, at
(202) 622–1868.
