BILLING CODE 4910–9X–P 

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 United 

States Treasury Department, 15th Street 

and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, 

Washington, DC on January 30, 2024, at 

9:00 a.m., of the following debt 

management advisory committee: 

Treasury Borrowing Advisory 

Committee. 

At this meeting, the Treasury is 

seeking advice from the Committee on 

topics related to the economy, financial 

markets, Treasury financing, and debt 

management. 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, 

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 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). 

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: January 4, 2024. 

Frederick E. Pietrangeli, 

Director (for Office of Debt Management).
