SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-
145, 31 U.S.C. 5112(p)(3)(A)), the United States Mint and the Board of

industries involved in the use and distribution of circulating coins,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 
requires a redesign of the $1 coin as a multi-year circulating 
commemorative in the model of the 50 State Quarters[supreg] program. 
The legislation requires the Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary) and 
the Board to consult regularly with a coin users group. The purpose of 
these consultations is to obtain individual perspectives from various 
stakeholders representing businesses, agencies, and other interested 
parties. This information will assist the Secretary and the Board in 
accurately gauging the demand for coins and anticipating and 
eliminating obstacles to the easy and efficient distribution and 
circulation of $1 coins as well as other coins. Holding these forums is 
one of several measures that 31 U.S.C. 5112(p) now requires the 
Secretary and the Board to take to ensure that adequate supplies of 
coins are available for commerce and collectors. This is not a public 
meeting, and attendance is by invitation only. Persons interested in 
attending the forum should use the contact information in this notice.

    Authority: 31 U.S.C. 5112(p)(3)(A)

    Dated: May 22, 2006.
David A. Lebryk,
Deputy Director, United States Mint.

    By order of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 
System, May 23, 2006.
