calendar years succeeding the year in which a commemorative coin 
designation is made; and
    [sbull] Make recommendations with respect to the mintage level for 
any commemorative coin recommended.
    Total membership consists of eleven voting members appointed by the 
Secretary of the Treasury:
    [sbull] One person specially qualified by virtue of his or her 
education, training or experience as nationally or internationally 
recognized curator in the United States of a numismatic collection;

general public in the coinage of the United States; and
    [sbull] Four persons appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury on 
the basis of the recommendations by the House and Senate leadership.
    The Committee is subject to the direction of the Secretary of the 
Treasury. Meetings of the CCAC are open to the public and will be held 
bi-monthly on the third Wednesday. 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 represent the interests of the general 
public should include their knowledge of history, youth interests, or 
an understanding of American culture and history. Candidates who 
believe that they are specially qualified to serve by reason of their 
education, training, or experience in the field of American history 
should include specific skills, abilities, talents, and credentials to
