20820 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 13, 2011 / Notices 

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. 522b(c)(3)(B). In addition, the 

meeting is concerned with information 

that is exempt from disclosure under 5 

U.S.C. 522b(c)(1)(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. 

522b(c)(1)(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, Deputy Director for Office of 

Debt Management (202) 622–1876.

information collection on respondents, 

including through the use of 

information technology. 

We will summarize the comments 

that we receive and include them in the 

OTS request for OMB approval. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record. In this notice, OTS is 

soliciting comments concerning the 

following information collection. 

Title of Proposal: Application and 

Termination Notice for Municipal 

Securities Dealer Principal or 

Representative. 

OMB Number: 1550–0123. 

Form Numbers: MSD–5 and MSD–4. 

Description: Section 15B(a)(2) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Act) 

requires, in part, that municipal 

securities dealers notify their 

appropriate regulatory agency (ARA) of 

their activities. This information is 

required to satisfy the requirements of 

the Act. The Financial Services 

Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 provides 

for the inclusion of the OTS in the 

definition of an ARA for Federal savings 

associations (FSA’s). 

The forms are completed by certain 

FSA employees that act as municipal 

securities dealer principals or 

representatives, and are submitted to 

OTS. OTS reviews the information to 

monitor registered persons’ entry into, 

and exit from, municipal securities 

dealer activities. The information 

contributes to the OTS’s understanding 

of the FSA and helps to facilitate the 

supervision of the municipal securities 

dealer activities. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

14. 

Estimated Frequency of Response: On 

occasion.
