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 15 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. At that meeting, the Chair recommended the
establishment of five subcommittees to focus on the following strategic
areas: Financial Access (later renamed Underserved and Community
Empowerment), Research and Evaluation, Partnerships, and Youth. The
Council met again on April 21, 2011; July 12, 2011; November 8, 2011;
January 19, 2012, April 9, 2012, and July 16, 2012. At the January 19,
2012, meeting, the Council presented an Interim Report to the
President, which can be found at: http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/financial-education/Documents/PACFC%20Interim%20Report%2001-18-12%20Final.pdf.
In accordance with section 10(a) of the Federal Advisory Committee
Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2 and the regulations thereunder, Louisa Quittman,
Designated Federal Officer of the Council, has ordered publication of
this notice that the Council will convene its eighth meeting on
November 28, 2012, at the Department of Treasury, 1500 Pennsylvania
Avenue NW., Washington DC, beginning at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The
meeting will be open to the public. Members of the public who plan to
attend the meeting must RSVP with their name, organization represented
(if any), phone number, and email address. To register, please go to
www.treasury.gov, click on Resource Center, then Office of Consumer
Policy, and then on the President's Advisory Council on Financial
Capability by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 19, 2012. For entry
into the building on the date of the meeting, attendees must present a
government-issued ID, such as a driver's license or passport, which
includes a photo. Due to the significant logistical difficulties of
convening the members of the committee, the meeting has been scheduled
with less than 15 days notice (see 41 CFR 102-3.150(b)).
The purpose of the meeting is to receive an update from the
Council's subcommittees on their progress; discuss recommendations made
by the subcommittees; and receive a status report on the implementation
of the previous recommendations of the Council.
Dated: November 14, 2012.
