We define the notion of a completely determined Borel code in reverse mathematics, and consider the principle $CD - PB$, which states that every completely determined Borel set has the property of Baire. We show that this principle is strictly weaker than
$AT{R_0}$. Any ω-model of
$CD - PB$ must be closed under hyperarithmetic reduction, but
$CD - PB$ is not a theory of hyperarithmetic analysis. We show that whenever
$M \subseteq {2^\omega }$ is the second-order part of an ω-model of
$CD - PB$, then for every
$Z \in M$, there is a
$G \in M$ such that G is
${\rm{\Delta }}_1^1$-generic relative to Z.
