DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

United States Mint


Request for Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee Membership 
Applications

ACTION: Request for Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee Membership 
Applications.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to United States Code, Title 31, section 5135(b), the 
United States Mint is accepting applications for appointment to the 
Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) as a member representing the 
interests of the general public in the coinage of the United States. 
The CCAC was established to:
     Advise the Secretary of the Treasury on any theme or 
design proposals for circulating coinage, bullion coinage, 
Congressional Gold Medals, and national and other medals produced by 
the United States Mint.
     Advise the Secretary of the Treasury on the events, 
persons, or places to be commemorated by the issuance of commemorative 
coins in each of the five calendar years succeeding the year in which a 
commemorative coin designation is made.
     Make recommendations on the mintage levels for any 
commemorative coin recommended.
    The total membership of the CCAC consists of eleven voting members 
appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, as follows:
     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;
     One person specially qualified by virtue of his or her 
experience in the medallic arts or sculpture;
     One person specially qualified by virtue of his or her 
education, training, or experience in American history;
     One person specially qualified by virtue of his or her 
education, training, or experience in numismatics;
     Three persons who can represent the interests of the 
general public in the coinage of the United States; and
     Four persons appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury on 
the basis of the recommendations by the House and Senate leadership.
    The purpose of this request for membership applications is to fill 
a vacancy in one of the three positions held by persons who can 
represent the interests of the general public in the coinage of the 
United States. Each member is appointed to a term of four years. No 
individual may be appointed to the CCAC while serving as an officer or 
employee of the Federal Government.
    The CCAC is subject to the direction of the Secretary of the 
Treasury. Meetings of the CCAC are open to the public and are held 
approximately seven to nine times per year. The United States Mint is 
responsible for providing the necessary support, technical services, 
and advice to the CCAC. CCAC 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 meetings. 
Members are Special Government Employees and are 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 should include specific skills, abilities, 
talents, and credentials to support their applications. The United 
States Mint is also interested in candidates who have demonstrated 
leadership skills, have received recognition by their peers in their 
field of interest, have a record of participation in public service or 
activities, and are willing to commit the time and effort to 
participate in the Committee meetings and related activities.
    Application Deadline: March 31, 2010.
    Receipt of Applications: Any member of the public wishing to be 
considered for participation on the CCAC should submit a resume and 
cover letter describing his or her reasons for seeking and 
qualifications for membership, by fax to 202-756-6525 or by mail to the 
United States Mint, 801 9th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20001, Attn: 
Greg Weinman. Submissions must be postmarked no later than March 31, 
2010. Interested individuals who submitted applications for appointment 
to the CCAC under previous requests for membership applications for a 
position to represent the interests of the general public in the 
coinage of the United States do not need to apply again under this 
request for membership to be considered for this open position. 
However, such individuals may improve their chances of being selected 
by submitting new application materials, or updating their previous 
applications, before the March 31, 2010 deadline.
