The fed can buy securities from the the banks through open market operations to reduce liquidity in the system and this raises the interest rate in the economy as supply of funds reduces in the system. The OMO is a tool to reduce liquidity and supply of funds and hence raising the interest rates.
The FOMC or (Federal open Market Committee) which is part of Federal Reserve system makes the decision. The members include 12 members . They are as following
1. The President of Federal Reserve of New York
2. 4 Presidents of the remaining 11 Federal Reserves who preside for 1 year term
