SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 25, 2013, the President signed
Executive Order 13646, creating the Council to help build the financial
capability of young people from an early age, in schools, communities
and the workplace. Understanding financial matters and making informed
financial decisions help contribute to financial stability. The Council
is composed of two ex-officio Federal officials and 22 non-governmental
members appointed by the President with relevant backgrounds, such as
financial services, consumer protection, financial access, and
education. The Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has
also been invited to participate as a member of the Council. The role
of the Council is to advise the President and the Secretary of the
Treasury on means to promote and enhance the financial capability of
young Americans. 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 first
meeting on March 10, 2014, at the Department of Treasury, 1500

Financial Capability and the Financial Literacy and Education
Commission and discuss proposed subcommittees and council agenda. Time
