SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Primary Dealer Meeting Agenda.
OMB Control Number: 1505-0261.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: The Primary Dealer Meeting Agenda a quarterly survey
sent to all primary dealers, of which there are currently 25 financial
institutions. Primary dealers are trading counterparties of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York in its 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 Treasury's mission to manage the U.S
government's finances and resources effectively includes financing the
government's borrowing needs at the lowest cost over time. Treasury
meets this objective by issuing debt in a regular and predictable
pattern, providing transparency in its decision-making process, and
seeking continuous improvements in the Treasury auction process. The
risks to regular and predictable debt issuance result from unexpected
changes in our borrowing requirements, changes in the demand for
Treasury securities, and anything that inhibits timely sales of
securities. To reduce these risks, Treasury closely monitors economic
conditions, market activity, and, if necessary, responds with
appropriate changes in debt issuance based on analysis and consultation
with market participants, including the primary dealers through the
quarterly survey and subsequent meetings.
Form: None.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 25.
Frequency of Response: Quarterly.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 100.

Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice

and Budget approval. All comments will become a matter of public
record. Comments are invited on: (a) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical

[[Page 39931]]
