Departmental Offices; Renewal of the Treasury Borrowing Advisory 
Committee of the Bond Market Association and Name Change to the 
Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee of the Securities Industry and 
Financial Markets Association

ACTION: Notice of renewal and name change.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as 
amended (Pub. L. 92-463; 5 U.S.C. App. 2), with the concurrence of the 
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.
    Effective November 1, 2006, the name of the Bond Market Association 
was changed to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets 
Association following the merger of the Securities Industry Association 
and the Bond Market Association. Hence, the name of the Committee has 
been changed to reflect this merger. The new name is the Treasury 
Borrowing Advisory Committee of the Securities Industry and Financial 
Markets Association.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karthik Ramanathan, Director, Office 
of Debt Management (202) 622-2042.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the Committee is to provide 
informed advice as representatives of the financial community to the 
Secretary of the Treasury and Treasury staff, upon the Secretary of 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 
pertaining to longer term approaches to manage the national debt in a 
cost-effective manner. The Committee usually meets immediately before 
the Treasury announces each mid-calendar quarter funding operation, 
although special meetings also may be held.
    Membership consists of 10-15 individuals who are experts in the 
government securities market and who are involved in senior positions 
in debt markets as institutional investors, investment advisors, or as 
dealers in government securities.
    The Designated Federal Official for the Advisory Committee is the 
Director of the Office of Debt Management. The Treasury Department is 
filing copies of the Committee's renewal charter with appropriate 
committees in Congress.

    Dated: April 17, 2007.
Anthony W. Ryan,
Assistant Secretary, Financial Markets.
