General Services Administration, the Secretary of the Treasury has 
determined that renewal of the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee of 
The Bond Market Association (the ``Committee'') is necessary and in the 
public interest in connection with the performance of duties imposed on 
the Department of the Treasury by law.

informed advice as representatives of the financial community to the

Treasury's request, in carrying out Treasury responsibilities for 
federal financing and public debt management.
    The Committee meets to consider special items on which its advice 
is sought pertaining to immediate Treasury funding requirements and

filed copies of the Committee's renewal charter with appropriate 
committees in Congress.
