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 January 30,
2007 at 10:30 a.m. of the following debt
management advisory committee.
Treasury Borrowing Advisory
Committee of the Bond Market
Association (‘‘Committee’’).
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, 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
Public Law 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
E:\FR\FM\17JAN1.SGM 17JAN1
 2088 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 10 / Wednesday, January 17, 2007 / Notices
making 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, Officer of Debt
Management, at (202) 622–2042.
