SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 29, 2010, the President signed
Executive Order 13530, creating the Council to assist the American
people in understanding financial matters and making informed financial
decisions, thereby contributing to financial stability. The Council is
composed of two ex officio Federal officials and 11 non-governmental
members appointed by the President with relevant backgrounds, such as
financial services, consumer protection, financial access, and
education. The role of the Council is to advise the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury on means to promote and enhance individuals'
and families' financial capability. The Council held its first meeting
on November 30, 2010 and its second on April 21, 2011. During the April
2011 meeting, each Council subcommittee presented a progress report and
the recommendations it thought the Council as a whole should make to
the President and the Secretary. The Council agreed to make two
recommendations: (1) That Treasury support the Workplace Leaders in
Financial Educations Award, administered by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants and the Society for Human Resources
Management; and (2) that the Treasury issue a challenge to the private
sector to create applications for mobile devices that promote financial
capability and financial access. The Department of the Treasury is
looking into how to implement those recommendations. Additionally, the
Council discussed the composition of its subcommittees and their
priorities, and decided that it would be more effective to embed the
work of the ``Strategy'' subcommittee into the work of the other
subcommittees.
In accordance with section 10(a) of the Federal Advisory Committee
Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2 and the regulations thereunder, Dubis Correal,
Designated Federal Officer of the Council, has ordered publication of
this notice that the Council will convene its third meeting on July 12,
2011, via audio webcast, beginning at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The
meeting will be open to the public. Details on how to access the audio
webcast will be posted closer to the date of the meeting at http://www.treasury.gov (click on Resource Center, then Office of Financial
Education and Financial Access, and then on the President's Advisory
Council on Financial Capability) or call (202) 622-5770. The purpose of
the meeting is to receive an update from the Council's subcommittees on
their ideas, progress, and discuss any possible recommendations.
Dated: June 9, 2011.

Executive Secretary, U.S. Department of the Treasury.
