BILLING CODE 4820–03–C

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Departmental Offices; Debt

Management Advisory Committee

Meeting

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 5

U.S.C. App. 10(a)(2), that a meeting will

be held at the U.S. Treasury

Department, 15th and Pennsylvania

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC, on

October 31, 2000, of the following debt

management advisory committee:

The Bond Market Association

Treasury Borrowing Advisory

Committee

The agenda for the meeting provides

for a technical background briefing by

Treasury staff, followed by 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 background briefing by Treasury

staff will be held at 8 a.m. Eastern time

and will be opened to the public. The

remaining sessions and the committee’s

reporting session will be closed to the

public, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. App. 10(d).

This notice shall constitute my

determination, pursuant to the authority

placed in heads of departments by 5

U.S.C. App. 10(d) and vested in me by

Treasury Department Order No. 101–05,

that the closed portions of the meeting

are 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 decision 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.

3.

Although the Treasury’s final

announcement of financing plans may

not reflect the recommendations

provided in reports of the advisory

committee, premature disclosure of the

committee’s deliberations and reports

would be likely to lead to significant

financial speculation in the securities

market. Thus, these meetings fall within

the exemption covered by 5 U.S.C.

552b(c)(9)(A).

The Office of Financial Markets 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. 552b.

Dated: October 3, 2000.

Assistant Secretary, Financial Markets.
