The Department of Treasury (Treasury),
Office of Debt Management (ODM) conducts the Primary Dealer Meeting
Agenda (Agenda), which is a quarterly survey sent to all primary
dealers, of which there are currently 23 financial institutions.
Primary dealers are trading counter parties of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York (FRBNY) 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 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.
There are currently 26 Primary
dealers, the newest being added on January 15, 2026. There is an
increase in burden of 16 hours due an adjustment in agency
estimates resulting from the addition of two more primary dealers
to the FRBNY's list.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
