DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Departmental Offices; 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 July 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 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 Public Law 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. 10 1-05, 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, section 202(c)(l)(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, 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. 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: June 20, 2008.
Anthony W. Ryan,
Assistant Secretary, Financial Markets.
