    The Committee's objective is to provide the Commission with diverse 
perspectives on the structure and operations of the U.S. fixed income 
markets, as well as advice and recommendations on matters related to 
fixed income market structure.
    No more than 21 voting members will be appointed to the Committee. 
Such members shall represent a cross-section of those directly affected 
by, interested in, and/or qualified to provide advice to the Commission 
on matters related to fixed income market structure. The Committee's 
membership will continue to be balanced fairly in terms of points of 
view represented. Non-voting members may also be named.
    The charter provides that the duties of the Committee are to be 
solely advisory. The Commission alone will make any determinations of 
actions to be taken and policies to be expressed with respect to 
matters within the Commission's jurisdiction. The Committee will meet 
at such intervals as are necessary to carry out its functions. The 
charter contemplates that the full Committee will meet four times. 
Meetings of subgroups or subcommittees of the full Committee may occur 
more frequently.
    The Committee will operate for one year from the date it is renewed 
or such earlier date as determined by the Commission unless, before the 
expiration of that time period, it is renewed in accordance with the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act. A copy of the charter for the Committee 
has been filed with the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban 
Affairs of the United States Senate, the Committee on Financial 
Services of the United States House of Representatives, and the 
Committee Management Secretariat of the General Services 
Administration. A copy of the charter as so filed also will be filed 
with the Chairman of the Commission, furnished to the Library of 
Congress, and posted on the Commission's website at www.sec.gov.

    By the Commission.

    Dated: November 7, 2019.

Secretary.
