Public Input on the Development and Potential Issuance of Treasury Floating Rate Notes

The Secretary of the Treasury ("Secretary") is authorized under Chapter 31 of Title 31, United States Code, to issue United States obligations and to offer them for sale under such terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe. The Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") is requesting comments on the potential issuance of a floating rate note. Treasury is particularly interested in comments concerning the demand for the product, how the security should be structured, its liquidity, and any operational issues that should be considered relating to the issuance of this type of debt. Treasury has not made a decision to issue floating rate notes. Treasury will continue to weigh the relative merits of issuing floating rate notes, and comments received as part of this Request for Information will serve as valuable input into this decision.
