DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

United States Mint


Request for CCCAC Membership Applications

    Summary: The United States Mint is accepting applications for 
membership to the Citizens Commemorative Coin Advisory Committee 
(CCCAC). The CCCAC was established in 1993 under Public Law 102-390 to: 
designate annually the events, persons, or places the committee 
recommends be commemorated by the issuance of commemorative coins; make 
recommendations with respect to the mintage level for any commemorative 
coin recommended; submit a report to the Congress containing a 
description of the recommendations and the Committee's reasons for such 
recommendation; and review and comment on proposed designs for 
commemorative coins and the 50 State Quarters[reg] Program.
    Membership consists of seven voting members appointed to four-year 
terms by the Secretary of the Treasury: three members shall be 
appointed from among individuals specially qualified to serve by reason 
of their education, training or experience in art, art history, museum 
or numismatic collection curation, or numismatics; three members shall 
be appointed from among individuals who will represent the interest of 
the general public; and one member shall be appointed from officers or 
employees of the United States Mint to represent the interests of the 
United States Mint.
    The Committee is subject to the direction of the Secretary of the 
Treasury. The United States Mint is responsible for providing the 
necessary support services for the Committee. Committee members are not 
paid for their time or services, but consistent with Federal travel 
regulations, members are reimbursed for their travel and lodging 
expenses to attend approximately two meetings each year. Members may be 
subject to the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the 
Executive Branch (5 CFR part 2653).
    The United States Mint will review all submissions and will forward 
its recommendations to the Secretary of the Treasury for appointment 
consideration. Candidates who believe that they are specially qualified 
to serve by reason of their education, training, or experience in the 
fields of art, art history, museum or numismatic collection curation, 
or numismatics should include specific skills, abilities, talents, and 
credentials to support their applications. All candidates should submit 
any relevant information that demonstrates their qualifications to 
represent the interests of the public, including demonstrated 
experience with history, education, youth or American heritage and 
culture. The United States Mint is also interested in candidates who 
have demonstrated leadership skills, who have received recognition by 
their peers in their field of interest, who have a record of 
participation in public service or activities, and who are willing to 
commit the time and effort to participate in the Committee meetings and 
related activities.
    Application Deadline: December 2, 2002.
    Receipt of Applications: Any member of the public wishing to be 
considered for participation on the committee should submit a resume or 
letter describing qualifications for membership, by e-mail to 
[email protected] or by mail to the United States Mint, 
801 9th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20001, Attn: CCCAC Membership. 
Submissions must be postmarked no later than December 2, 2002. 
Applications submitted previously in 2002 have been retained on file 
and will be reviewed and considered along with new applicants--it is 
not necessary to reapply.

    Dated: November 7, 2002.

Director, United States Mint.
