Extension of Submission Period for CCCAC Membership Applications

SUMMARY: This notice extends to May 31, 2002, the previous deadline of 
May 16, 2002, to submit applications for membership to the Citizens 
Commemorative Coin Advisory Committee (CCCAC). The CCCAC was 
established in 1993 under Public Law 102-390 to:
     Designate annually the events, persons, or places the 
committee recommends be commemorated by the issuance of commemorative 
coins,
     Make recommendations with respect to the mintage level for 
any commemorative coin recommended,
     Submit a report to the Congress containing a description 
of the recommendations and the Committee's reasons for such 
recommendation, and
     Review and comment on proposed designs for commemorative 
coins and the 50 State Quarters Program.
    Membership consists of seven voting members appointed to 4-year 
terms by the Secretary of the Treasury:
     Three members shall be appointed from among individuals 
specially qualified to serve by reason of their education, training or 
experience in art, art history, museum or numismatic collection 
curation, or numismatics,
     Three members shall be appointed from among individuals 
who will represent the interest of the general public, and
     One member shall be appointed from officers or employees 
of the United States Mint to represent the interests of the United 
States Mint.
    The Committee is subject to the direction of the Secretary of the 
Treasury. The United States Mint is responsible for providing the 
necessary support services for the Committee. Committee members are not 
paid for their time or services, but, consistent with Federal Travel 
Regulations, members are reimbursed for their travel and lodging 
expenses to attend approximately two meetings each year. Members may be 
subject to the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the 
Executive Branch (5 CFR part 2653).
    The United States Mint will review all submissions and will forward 
its recommendations to the Secretary of the Treasury for appointment 
consideration. Candidates who believe that they are specially qualified 
to serve by reason of their education, training, or experience in the 
fields of art, art history, museum or numismatic collection curation, 
or numismatics should include specific skills, abilities, talents, and 
credentials to support their applications. All candidates should submit 
any relevant information that demonstrates their qualifications to 
represent the interests of the public, including demonstrated 
experience with history, education, youth or American heritage and 
culture. The United States Mint is also interested in candidates who 
have demonstrated leadership skills, who have received recognition by 
their peers in their field of interest, who have a record of 
participation in public service or activities, and who are willing to 
commit the time and effort to participate in the Committee meetings and 
related activities.
    Application Deadline: May 31, 2002.
    Receipt of Applications: Any member of the public wishing to be 
considered for participation on the committee should submit a resume,
