SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 19 of the Protecting our 

Infrastructure of Pipelines and 

Enhancing Safety Act of 2016 (Pub. L. 

114–183) requires PHMSA to expand 

the definition of an Ecological resource 

USA (as defined in 49 CFR 195.6(b)) to 

include the Great Lakes, coastal beaches 

and marine coastal waters. All USAs are 

treated as high consequence areas 

(HCAs), which are subject to stricter 

safety and maintenance standards (such 

as 49 CFR 195.452). To address this 

mandate, PHMSA must define and map 

these areas. The focus of this one-day 

public meeting is to bring pipeline 

safety stakeholders together to discuss 

applicable definitions and available GIS 

data sources for Great Lakes, coastal 

beaches and marine coastal waters. 

Stakeholder feedback may inform future 

policy efforts impacting the definition of 

a Coastal Ecological USA. 

II. Meeting Details and Agenda 

The Coastal Ecological USA public 

meeting will include discussions from 

government and industry stakeholders 

on proposed definition, available GIS 

data sources, and how Coastal 

Ecological USA protect the public and 

environment through integrity 

management planning. The meeting will 

also include facilitated discussions with 

meeting participants and experts to 

understand additional perspectives on 

proposed definitions and recommended 

GIS data sources.

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 October 31, 

2017 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 wilt 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: October 5, 2017.

(this is not a toll free number). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The VA 

published a Notice of intent and request 

for comments in the Federal Register on 

September 14, 2017, 82 FR 43288, that 

proposed issuance of a blanket waiver of 

the conflict of interest provisions of 38 

U.S.C. 3683(a). This statute requires 

immediate dismissal from VA service of 

any officer or employee who has, while 

an officer or employee, owned any 

interest in, or received any wages, 

salary, dividends, profits, gratuities, or 

services from, any educational 

institution operated for profit in which 

an eligible person or veteran was using 

VA educational benefits. The document 

stated that the Secretary intended to 

waive the application of 38 U.S.C. 

3683(a) for all VA employees who 

receive any wages, salary, dividends, 

profits, gratuities, or services from, or 

own any interest in, a for-profit 

educational institution in which an 

eligible person or veteran is pursuing a 

program of education using VA 

education benefits, as long as employees 

abided by the existing criminal conflict 

of interest laws and the Standards of 

Conduct for Employees of the Executive 

Branch, as the Secretary had determined 

that no detriment would result to the 

United States, veterans, or eligible 

persons from such activities. 

Comments to the document were to be 

provided to the VA on or before October 

16, 2017. The VA received a significant 

number of comments and has 

determined not to pursue 

implementation of the waiver as
