Description: The Department of Treasury (Treasury), Office of Debt

implementation of monetary policy. Primary dealers are also expected to
have a substantial presence as a market maker for Treasury securities
and bid on a pro-rata basis in all Treasury auctions.
The information in the Agenda is a critical factor to inform ODM's
decision to set the securities' issuance sizes for the upcoming
quarter. In effect, the information provides a market view of borrowing
needs for the U.S. government. In addition, aggregate statistics are
made public through Treasury's Quarterly Refunding materials.

households, and cover the costs for other affordable rental housing and
eviction prevention activities for eligible households. ERA2 grantees
are required to submit reports on their utilization of ERA2 award funds

reviews and follow-up with individual grantees, and for standard
recordkeeping.
