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 

mstockstill on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES

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.
