FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM


Consumer Advisory Council; Solicitation of Nominations for 
Membership

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Board is inviting the public to nominate qualified 
individuals for appointment to its Consumer Advisory Council, which is 
comprised of representatives both of consumer and community interests 
and of the financial services industry. Nine new members will be 
selected for three-year terms that will begin in January 1996. The 
Board expects to announce the selection of new members by year-end 
1995.

DATES: Nominations should be received by August 31, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Nominations should be submitted in writing to Dolores S. 
Smith, Associate Director, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, 
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 
20551. Information about nominees will be available for inspection upon 
request.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ann Marie Bray, Secretary to the 
Council, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, (202) 452-6470; or 
for Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TTD) users only, Dorothea 
Thompson (202) 452-3544; Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 
System, Washington, D.C. 20551.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Consumer Advisory Council was 
established in 1976 at the direction of Congress to advise the Federal 
Reserve Board on the exercise of its duties under the Consumer Credit 
Protection Act and on other consumer-related matters. The Council by 
law (15 USC 1691(b)) represents the interests both of consumers and of 
the financial community. Under the Rules of Organization and Procedure 
of the Consumer Advisory Council (12 CFR 267.3), members serve three-
year terms that are staggered to provide the Council with continuity.
    New members will be selected for terms beginning January 1, 1996, 
to replace members whose terms expire this year. Nominations should 
include the address and telephone number of the nominee, information 
about past and present positions held, and a description of special 
knowledge, interests or experience related to community reinvestment, 
consumer credit or other consumer financial services. Persons may 
nominate themselves as well as other candidates.
    The Board is interested in candidates who have some familiarity 
with community reinvestment or consumer financial services and who are 
willing to express their viewpoints. Candidates do not have to be 
experts on all levels of community reinvestment or consumer financial 
services, but they should possess some basic knowledge of the area. In 
addition, they should be able to make the necessary time commitment to 
prepare for and attend meetings (usually two days long including 
committee meetings) three times a year.
    In making the appointments, the Board will seek to complement the 
qualifications of continuing Council members in terms of affiliation 
and geographic representation, and to ensure the representation of 
women and minority groups. The Board expects to announce its selection 
of new members by year-end.
