    The Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App), and implementing 
regulations, requires notice in the Federal Register 15 days in advance 
of a committee meeting. An agency may give less than 15 days in 
exceptional circumstances. This Council was created by Executive Order 
13458, which was published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2008. 
The Council wishes to convene as soon as possible so that it can begin 
its work to educate the American people about matters pertaining to 
their finances, including mortgage indebtedness issues. To better meet 
the needs of the public on these timely matters, the Council is holding 
its first meeting on February 13, 2008. This notice period is being 
shortened by a few days for this purpose.
