ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Board is inviting the public to nominate qualified individuals for appointment to its Consumer Advisory Council, whose membership represents consumer and community interests and the financial services industry. Thirteen new members will be selected for three-year terms that will begin in January 1998. The Board expects to announce the selection of new members by year-end 1997. DATES: Nominations should be received by August 15, 1997. ADDRESSES: Nominations should be submitted in writing and mailed (not by facsimile) to Dolores S. Smith, Associate Director, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551.

For Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) users only: Diane Jenkins, (202) 452-3544, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Consumer Advisory Council was established in 1976 at the direction of the 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 services industry (15 U.S.C. 1691(b)). Under the Rules of Organization and Procedure of the Consumer Advisory Council (12 CFR 267.3), members serve three-year terms that are staggered to provide the Council with continuity. New members will be selected for terms beginning January 1, 1998, to replace members whose terms expire in December 1997; the Board expects to announce its appointment of new members by year-end. Nomination letters should include information about past and present positions held by the nominee; a description of special knowledge, interests or experience related to community reinvestment, consumer credit, or other consumer financial services; and the address and telephone number of both the nominee and the nominator. Individuals may nominate themselves. The Board is interested in candidates who have some familiarity with consumer financial services or community reinvestment, and who are willing to express their viewpoints. Candidates do not have to be experts on all levels of consumer financial services or community reinvestment, but they should possess some basic knowledge of the area. They must be able and willing to make the necessary time commitment to prepare for and attend meetings three times a year (usually for two days, including committee meetings). In making the appointments, the Board will seek to complement the background of continuing Council members in terms of affiliation and geographic representation, and to ensure the representation of women and minority groups. The Board may consider prior years' nominees and does not limit consideration to individuals nominated by the public when making its selection. Council members whose terms end as of December 31, 1997, are: Julia W. Seward, Vice President and Corporate, Community Reinvestment Officer, Signet Bank, Richmond, Virginia Thomas R. Butler, President and Chief Operating Officer, NOVUS Services, Inc., Riverwoods, Illinois Robert A.
