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.
