TREASURY DEPARTMENT
Debt Management Advisory Committee
Meeting
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. app. 2, section 10(a)(2), that a
meeting will be held at the Hay-Adams
Hotel, 16th Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue NW., Washington, DC, on May
2, 2017 at 9:30 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, section 10(d) and Pub. L.
103–202, section 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, 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
making of recommendations of the
Committee to the Secretary, pursuant to
Pub. L. 103–202, section 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, section 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.
Dated: April 7, 2017.
