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 interests of consumers, communities, and the
financial services industry. Seven new members will be selected for
three-year terms that will begin in January 2000. The Board expects to
announce the selection of new members by year-end 1999.
DATE: Nominations should be received by August 16, 1999.
ADDRESS: Nominations should be submitted in writing and mailed (not
sent by facsimile) to Sandra F. Braunstein, Assistant Director,

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 USC 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, 2000,
to replace members whose terms expire in December 1999; 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 current 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), held at the Board's offices in
Washington, D.C. The Board pays travel expenses, lodging, and a nominal
honorarium.
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.
