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 January 29,
2008 at 10:30 a.m. of the following debt
management advisory committee:
Treasury Borrowing Advisory
Committee of The Securities Industry
and Financial Markets Association.
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, section 10(d) and Public
Law 103–202, § 202(c)(1)(B)(8) (31
U.S.C. section 3121 note).
This notice shall constitute my
determination, pursuant to the authority
placed in heads of agencies by 5 U.S.C.
App. 2, section 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

making of recommendations of the
Committee to the Secretary, pursuant to
Public Law 103–202, section
202(c)(1)(B). Thus, this information is
exempt from disclosure under that
provision and 5 U.S.C. section
552b(c)(3)(B). In addition, the meeting is
concerned with information that is
exempt from disclosure under 5 U.S.C.
section 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, section 3.
Although the Treasury’s final
announcement of financial 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
exemption covered by 5 U.S.C. section
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.
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. section 552(b). The Designated
Federal Officer or other responsible
agency official who may be contacted
for additional information is Karthik
Ramanathan, Director, Office of Debt
Management, at (202) 622–2042.
Dated: January 14, 2008.

Assistant Secretary, Financial Markets.
