SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indiana and Iowa State Advisory 
Committees (SAC) are statutorily mandated advisory committees of the 
U.S. Commission on Civil Rights pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1975a. Under the 
charter for the SACs, the purpose is to provide advice and 
recommendations to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (Commission) on 
a broad range of civil rights matters in its respective state that 
pertain to alleged deprivations of voting rights or discrimination or 
denials of equal protection of the laws because of race, color, 
religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin, or the 
administration of justice. SACs also provide assistance to the 
Commission in its statutory obligation to serve as a national 
clearinghouse for civil rights information.
    The SAC consists of not more than 19 members, each of whom will 
serve a two-year term. Members serve as unpaid Special Government 
Employees who are reimbursed for travel and expenses. To be eligible to 
be on a SAC, applicants must be residents of the respective state and 
have demonstrated expertise or interest in civil rights issues.
    The Commission is an independent, bipartisan agency established by 
Congress in 1957 to focus on matters of race, color, religion, sex, 
age, disability, or national origin. Its mandate is to:
     Investigate complaints from citizens that their voting 
rights are being deprived,
     study and collect information about discrimination or 
denials of equal protection under the law,
     appraise federal civil rights laws and policies,
     serve as a national clearinghouse on discrimination laws,
     submit reports and findings and recommendations to the 
President and the Congress, and
     issue public service announcements to discourage 
discrimination.
    The Commission invites any individual who is eligible to be 
appointed a member of the Indiana or Iowa Advisory Committee covered by 
this notice to send a letter of interest and a resume to the respective 
address above.

    Dated in Chicago, IL, on June 30, 2014.
