FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION
Notice of Agency Meeting
Pursuant to the provisions of the
‘‘Government in the Sunshine Act’’ (5
U.S.C. 552b), notice is hereby given that
at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, the
Board of Directors of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation met in
closed session to consider matters
related to the Corporation’s supervision
and resolution activities.
In calling the meeting, the Board
determined, on motion of Vice
Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg,
seconded by Director John E. Bowman
(Acting Director, Office of Thrift
Supervision), concurred in by Director
Thomas J. Curry (Appointive), Director
John C. Dugan (Comptroller of the
Currency), and Chairman Sheila C. Bair,
that Corporation business required its
consideration of the matters which were
to be the subject of this meeting on less
than seven days’ notice to the public;
that no earlier notice of the meeting was
practicable; that the public interest did
not require consideration of the matters
in a meeting open to public observation;
and that the matters could be
considered in a closed meeting by
authority of subsections (c)(4), (c)(6),
(c)(8), (c)(9)(A)(ii), (c)(9)(B), and (c)(10)
of the ‘‘Government in the Sunshine
Act’’ (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4), (c)(6), (c)(8),
(c)(9)(A)(ii), (c)(9)(B), and (c)(10)).
The meeting was held in the Board
Room of the FDIC Building located at
550—17th Street, NW., Washington, DC.

information (12 CFR part 271), there is
set forth below the domestic policy
directive issued by the Federal Open
Market Committee at its meeting held
on January 26 and 27, 2010.1
The Federal Open Market Committee
seeks monetary and financial conditions
that will foster price stability and
promote sustainable growth in output.
To further its long–run objectives, the
Committee seeks conditions in reserve
markets consistent with federal funds
trading in a range from 0 to 1⁄4 percent.
The Committee directs the Desk to
purchase agency debt and agency MBS
during the intermeeting period with the
aim of providing support to private
credit markets and economic activity.
The timing and pace of these purchases
should depend on conditions in the
markets for such securities and on a
broader assessment of private credit
market conditions. The Desk is expected
to execute purchases of about $175
billion in housing–related agency debt
and about $1.25 trillion of agency MBS
by the end of the first quarter. The Desk
is expected to gradually slow the pace
of these purchases as they near
completion. The Committee anticipates
that outright purchases of securities will
cause the size of the Federal Reserve’s
balance sheet to expand significantly in
coming months. The Committee directs
the Desk to engage in dollar roll
transactions as necessary to facilitate
settlement of the Federal Reserve’s
agency MBS transactions to be
conducted through the end of the first
quarter, as directed above. The System
Open Market Account Manager and the
Secretary will keep the Committee
informed of ongoing developments
regarding the System’s balance sheet
that could affect the attainment over
time of the Committee’s objectives of
maximum employment and price
stability.
By order of the Federal Open Market
Committee, February 23, 2010.

Dated: March 2, 2010.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Valerie J. Best,
Assistant Executive Secretary.

Brian F. Madigan,
Secretary, Federal Open Market Committee.
