SUMMARY: The Board invites the public to nominate qualified individuals

represents the interests of consumers, communities, and the financial
services industry. The Board plans to appoint up to ten members for
terms that will begin in January 2011. Appointments are typically for
three years. However, the duration of members' terms may be subject to
change pursuant to the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
DATES: Nominations must be received by September 10, 2010. Nominations
not received by September 10 may not be considered.
ADDRESSES: Nominations must include a r[eacute]sum[eacute] for each
nominee. Electronic nominations are preferred. The appropriate form can

If electronic submission is not feasible, the nominations may be
mailed (not faxed) to Joseph Firschein, Assistant Director and
Community Affairs Officer, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs,
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, DC 20551.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Kerslake, Secretary of the
Council, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, (202) 452-6470,
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 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. The duration of members' terms may be
subject to change pursuant to the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform
[[Page 44794]]
and Consumer Protection Act. The Board will continue to use the
Council's valuable advice and expertise during the implementation of
the Act.
The Board plans to appoint up to ten members for terms that will
begin January 1, 2011, to replace members whose terms expire in
December 2010. The Board expects to announce the appointments in early
January.
Nomination letters should include:
A r[eacute]sum[eacute] for each nominee;
Nominee's full name, organizational affiliation, title,
address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address;
Nominee organization's name, brief description of
organization, address, and phone and fax numbers;
Information about past and present positions held by the
nominee, dates, and description of responsibilities;
A description of the nominee's special knowledge,
interests, or experience related to community development and
reinvestment, consumer protection regulations, consumer credit, or
other consumer financial services issues;
Positions held in community organizations and on councils
and boards; and
Nominator's full name, organizational affiliation, title,
address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address.
Individuals may nominate themselves.
The Board is interested in candidates who have familiarity with
consumer financial services, community development and reinvestment,
and consumer protection regulations, and who are willing to express
their views. 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 issues. They must be able and
willing to make the necessary time commitment to participate in
conference calls and prepare for and attend meetings three times a year
(usually for two days, including committee meetings). The meetings are
held at the Board's offices in Washington, DC. The Board pays travel
expenses, lodging, and a nominal honorarium.
In making the appointments, the Board will seek to complement the
background of continuing Council members in terms of affiliation and
geographic representation. The Board may consider prior years' nominees
and does not limit consideration to individuals nominated by the public
when making its selection.
