DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Debt Management Advisory Committee
Meeting
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. App. 2, 10(a)(2), that a meeting
will take place via conference call on
May 5, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. of the
following debt management advisory
committee:
Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee
of The Securities Industry and Financial
Markets Association.
At this meeting, the Committee will
consider the effects of the COVID–19
outbreak and associated policy response
on Treasury borrowing. 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).
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
