FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

Consumer Advisory Council

 

Solicitation of Nominations for Membership

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Board is inviting the public to nominate qualified 
individuals for appointment to its Consumer Advisory Council, which is 
comprised of representatives both of consumer and community interests 
and of the financial services industry. Thirteen new members will be 
selected for three-year terms that will begin in January 1995. The 
Board expects to announce the selection of new members by year-end 
1994.

DATES: Nominations should be received by August 31, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Nominations should be submitted in writing to Dolores S. 
Smith, Associate Director, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, 
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, DC 20551. 
Information about nominees will be available for inspection upon 
request.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bedelia Calhoun, Staff Assistant,

Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) users only, Dorothea 
Thompson (202) 452-3544; Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 
System, Washington, DC 20551.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Consumer Advisory Council was 
established in 1976 at the direction of Congress to advise the Federal 
Reserve Board on the exercise of its duties under the Consumer Credit 
Protection Act and on other consumer-related matters. The Council by 
law represents the interests both of consumers and of the financial 
community. Members serve three-year terms that are staggered to provide 
the Council with continuity.
    New members will be selected for terms beginning January 1, 1995, 
to replace members whose terms expire this year. Nominations should 
include the address and telephone number of the nominee, information 
about past and present positions held, and a description of special 
knowledge, interests or experience related to consumer credit or other 
consumer financial services. Persons may nominate themselves as well as 
other candidates.
    The Board is interested in candidates who have some familiarity 
with consumer financial services and candidates who are willing to 
express their viewpoints. Candidates do not have to be experts on all 
levels of consumer financial services, but they should possess some 
basic knowledge of the area. In addition, they should be able to make 
the necessary time commitment to prepare for and attend meetings 
(usually two days long including committee meetings) three times a 
year.
    In making the appointments, the Board will seek to complement the 
qualifications of continuing Council members in terms of affiliation 
and geographic representation, and to ensure the representation of 
women and minority groups. The Board expects to announce its selection 
of new members by year-end.
