SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Colorado, Louisiana, Ohio, and South

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.

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 Colorado, Louisiana, Ohio, or South Carolina
Advisory Committee covered by this notice to send a letter of interest
