The Secretary of the Treasury is not a permanent voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The FOMC consists of the seven Governors of the Federal Reserve, which includes the chair of the Board of Governors. The President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is also a permanent voting member, reflecting the significant role that New York plays in the conduct of monetary policy given its financial market activities.

While the Secretary of the Treasury may participate in FOMC meetings and is an important figure in economic policymaking, they do not hold a voting seat within the FOMC. The FOMC is specifically composed of those official members who have been designated to make monetary policy decisions. The others mentioned are part of the committee and have voting rights, highlighting the structured composition of the FOMC in which monetary policy is determined.
