The Open Market Trading Desk (the Desk) at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York undertakes small value open market transactions for the purpose of testing operational readiness to implement existing and potential policy directives from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The FOMC authorizes the Desk to conduct these exercises in the Authorizations and Continuing Directives for Open Market Operations.

The bid submission process will be conducted from 10:30 AM ET to 11:00 AM ET on Wednesday, October 16, 2024. All counterparties will be limited to one $1 million proposition in the Agency MBS tranche during the operation.
