BILLING CODE 4810–31–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

Departmental Offices; Debt 

Management Advisory Committee; 

Meeting 

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. App. 2, 110(a)(2), that a meeting 

will be held at the Hay-Adams Hotel, 

16th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC on July 31, 2018 

at 9:30 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, 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). 

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, Director for Office of Debt 

Management (202) 622–1876. 

Dated: July 6, 2018.
