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, whose 
membership represents consumer and community interests and the 
financial services industry. Thirteen new members will be selected for 
three-year terms that will begin in January 1998. The Board expects to 
announce the selection of new members by year-end 1997.

DATES: Nominations should be received by August 15, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Nominations should be submitted in writing and mailed (not 
by facsimile) to Dolores S. Smith, Associate Director, Division of 
Consumer and Community Affairs, Board of Governors of the Federal 
Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Deanna Aday-Keller, Secretary to the 
Council, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, (202) 452-6470. 
For Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) users only: Diane 
Jenkins, (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 the 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 represents the interests both of consumers and of the 
financial services industry (15 U.S.C. 1691(b)). 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, 1998, 
to replace members whose terms expire in December 1997; the Board 
expects to announce its appointment of new members by year-end. 
Nomination letters should include information about past and present 
positions held by the nominee; a description of special knowledge, 
interests or experience related to community reinvestment, consumer 
credit, or other consumer financial services; and the address and 
telephone number of both the nominee and the nominator. Individuals may 
nominate themselves.
    The Board is interested in candidates who have some familiarity 
with consumer financial services or community reinvestment, and who are 
willing to express their viewpoints. Candidates do not have to be 
experts on all levels of consumer financial services or community 
reinvestment, but they should possess some basic knowledge of the area. 
They must be able and willing to make the necessary time commitment to 
prepare for and attend meetings three times a year (usually for two 
days, including committee meetings).
    In making the appointments, the Board will seek to complement the 
background of continuing Council members in terms of affiliation and 
geographic representation, and to ensure the representation of women 
and minority groups. The Board may consider prior years' nominees and 
does not limit consideration to individuals nominated by the public 
when making its selection.
    Council members whose terms end as of December 31, 1997, are:

Julia W. Seward, Vice President and Corporate, Community Reinvestment 
Officer, Signet Bank, Richmond, Virginia
Thomas R. Butler, President and Chief Operating Officer, NOVUS
