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.
