Mexico-based motor carriers to operate
safely in the United States beyond the
municipalities and commercial zones
along the United States-Mexico border.
The Pilot Program was part of FMCSA’s
implementation of the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) crossborder long-haul trucking provisions.
As of October 10, 2014, 13 Mexicodomiciled motor carriers with authority
to operate in the United States beyond
the commercial zones and
municipalities at the U.S.-Mexico
border had successfully participated in
the Pilot Program and established a
record of safety.
On October 10, 2014, FMCSA issued
new certificates of operating authority
registration to the 13 Pilot Program
participants pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
13902(a) and (c),1 the November 27,
2002 Memorandum of the President of
the United States to the Secretary of
Transportation [67 FR 71795 (December
2, 2002)] and the motor carriers’
successful performance in the Pilot
Program.2
On October 10, 2014, the Department
verbally advised Congress of the
completion of the Pilot Program. On
January 9, 2015, DOT submitted its
report titled, ‘‘United States-Mexico
Cross-Border Long-Haul Trucking Pilot
Program Report to Congress’’ to the
House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations as well as the Senate
Committee on Commerce, Science and
Transportation and the House of
Representatives’ Committee on
Transportation and Infrastructure. A
copy of the report is posted in the
docket for this program (FMCSA–2011–
0097) and the Agency posted a link to
the docket on the Pilot Program’s Web
site at: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/
international-programs/mexico-crossborder-trucking-pilot-program.
As a result of the successful
completion of the Pilot Program,
FMCSA will again accept applications
from Mexico-domiciled motor carriers
seeking authority to operate in long-haul
transportation beyond the U.S.
commercial zones. Information
regarding the application and review
processes is available at https://
www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/formop-1mx.

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 February 3,
2015 at 8:30 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
conduct 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 Public Law
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
Public Law 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
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 and financing estimates. This
briefing will give the press an
opportunity to ask questions about
financing projections. 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. 552(b). The Designated Federal
Officer or other responsible agency
official who may be contacted for
additional information is Fred
Pietrangeli, Director for Office of Debt
Management (202) 622–1876.
