As of June 2021, Treasury had 103 open recommendations, not including recommendations to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which are addressed in a separate letter to the Commissioner. We have sent a copy of that letter to your office. As operations return to normal from the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, fully implementing these open recommendations could significantly improve Treasury’s operations. Since our April 2020 letter, Treasury has implemented 14 of our 31 open priority recommendations. Specifically, Treasury has: · Made significant progress implementing the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA Act), closing all four of our priority recommendations in this area.3 For example, Treasury implemented a system to improve the completeness of agency data submissions and took multiple steps to provide the users of USAspending.gov with a fuller understanding of existing data limitations.

  • How Treasury Issues Debt
    How Treasury Issues Debt Grant A. Driessen Analyst in Public Finance August 18, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40767 How Treasury Issues Debt Summary The U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury), among other roles, manages the country’s debt. The primary objective of Treasury’s debt management strategy is to finance the government’s borrowing needs at the lowest cost over time. To accomplish this Treasury adheres to three principles: (1) to issue debt in a regular and predictable pattern, (2) to provide transparency in the decisionmaking process, and (3) to seek continuous improvements in the auction process. Within the Treasury, the Office of Debt Management (ODM) makes all decisions related to debt issuance and the management of the United States debt portfolio. When federal spending exceeds revenues, the ODM directs the Bureau of the Fiscal Service to borrow the funds needed to finance government operations by selling securities to the public and government agencies through an auction process. The Bureau of the Fiscal Service manages the operational aspects of the issuance of Treasury securities, including the systems related to and the monitoring of security auctions. During the mid-1970s, Treasury faced a period of rising nominal federal budget deficits and debt requiring unanticipated increases in issuances of securities. Up to that point, debt management was characterized by an ad-hoc, offering-by-offering survey of market participants. At that time, Treasury implemented a new debt management strategy that provided greater transparency and reduced the potential for market volatility. The resulting debt management process modernized the market for Treasury securities, realizing the benefits of predictability in an environment of large deficits.

  • What Makes an Agency Independent? Jennifer L. Selin
    What Makes an Agency Independent? Jennifer L. Selin Abstract The responsiveness of government agencies to elected officials is a central question in democratic governance. A key source of variation in responsiveness is agency structure. Yet scholars largely ignore structural differences among agencies, often viewing agencies as falling into broad structural categories (e.g., cabinet departments or independent commissions) or fixate on some features of design (e.g. “for cause” protections). I develop a new measure of structural independence based on a multitude of structural features that are theorized to affect political influence based on new data on 50 different structural features of 321 federal agencies in the federal executive establishment. Using a Bayesian latent variable model, I estimate independence on two dimensions: limits on the appointment of key agency decision makers and limits on political review of agency policy. I illustrate the value of this new measure by using it to examine how structure affects political influence.

  • What Makes an Agency Independent Codebook
    What Makes An Agency Independent Codebook This codebook describes the data collected for the manuscript “What Makes An Agency Independent,” published in the American Journal of Political Science. The dataset describe in this codebook has three components: 1) the codebook describing the variables and their coding, 2) the statutory provisions justifying the coding, and 3) a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet containing the data. Data Collection Between 2013 and 2014, I collected data on all federal agencies and politically important bureaus in the federal executive establishment. First, I identified the structural features of the 107 agencies in the federal executive branch that are led by one or more political appointees appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The data for these agencies were also collected for the ACUS Sourcebook of United States Executive Agencies.1 Given the political importance of many agency bureaus (e.g., Food and Drug Administration, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau), I also include the 214 bureaus within these agencies that either (1) promulgated a rule covered by the Congressional Review Act from 1996-2012; or (2) are listed in both the September 2012 Employment Cube in the Office of Personnel Management’s FedScope and in an agency’s organizational chart in the 2012 Government Manual;2 or (3) are excluded from all of the above for security reasons. In total, my dataset includes 7 agencies and 1 bureau in the Executive Office of the President, 15 executive departments and 205 bureaus within the departments, and 85 agencies and 8 bureaus located outside of the executive departments and the EOP.

  • Financial Literacy and Education Commission Public Meeting May 26, 2021 U.S. Department of the Treasury – Virtual 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M
    Financial Literacy and Education Commission Public Meeting May 26, 2021 U.S. Department of the Treasury – Virtual 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Minutes Louisa Quittman, Director, Financial Security/Education, U.S. Department of the Treasury, called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. She introduced Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen. Secretary Yellen welcomed the audience and recognized the topic of racial inequality as it relates to wealth building. She noted that the wealth disparity has changed very little since the 1960s. Secretary Yellen also referenced the disproportionate financial strain economic crises like the 2008 recession and Covid-19 have had on communities of color--in both intensity and lasting effects. In remedying this, big fiscal policy is required to build an economy that works for everyone. Secretary Yellen referenced the recent signing of the American Rescue Plan by the President and the proposed American Families and Jobs Plan. In closing, Secretary Yellen stated the importance of including financial education in any push for financial inclusion and highlighted the relevant impact of early financial education on adult decision making. Director Louisa Quittman then introduced Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo who moderated the panel of experts in financial education. Deputy Secretary Adeyemo began by stressing the topic of the meeting--how do we use financial education to expand opportunities and in particular for those who have been marginalized? He proceeded to mention the President’s agenda in the rebuilding of the economy following COVID-19 and highlighted the administration's focus on the inclusion of people of color.
