## Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three Years, Without Revision, of the Following Information Collection

*Report title:*                     Application Form for Membership on the Community Advisory Committee Council.                

*Agency form number:*                     FR 1401.                

*OMB control number:*                     7100-0371.                

*Frequency:*                     Annually.                

*Respondents:*                     Any person seeking to be considered for membership on the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) Council.                

*Estimated number of respondents:*                     300.                

*Estimated average hours per response:*                     1.                

*Estimated annual burden hours:*                     300.                

*General description of report:*                     The CAC Application (Application) is used to obtain information about the experience and qualification of persons seeking to be considered for membership on the CAC of the Board. The Application collects an applicant's contact information; details regarding current employment and areas of expertise; a resume, which typically includes information about employment history, education, and training; and a cover letter explaining why the applicant is interested in serving on the CAC and what he or she believes are their primary qualifications. Applicants can voluntarily elect to provide additional information to support their application.                

*Legal authorization and confidentiality:*                     The Application is authorized pursuant to sections 2A and 10 of the Federal Reserve Act (FRA).[1]                                          Section 2A of the FRA requires the Board and Federal Open Market Committee to “maintain long run growth of the monetary and credit aggregates commensurate with the economy's long run potential to increase production, so as to promote effectively the goals of maximum employment,                           ( print page 9056)                        stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.” [2]                                          Section 10 of the FRA authorizes the Board to “determine and prescribe the manner in which its obligations shall be incurred and its disbursements and expenses allowed and paid.” [3]                                          Providing information collected as part of the Application is required to obtain a benefit.                

Generally, information provided on the Application may be kept confidential from the public under exemption 6 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to the extent that the disclosure of the information “would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” For example, the release of information such as the applicant's address, home telephone number, or personal email address to the public would likely constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and be kept confidential. However, the release of information such as the educational and professional qualifications of successful applicants would not likely constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and may be disclosed under the FOIA. In addition, once a person becomes a member of the CAC, their name, and the name and location of the organization where they are employed, would generally be listed on the Board's public website.

*Current actions:*                     On October 5, 2021, the Board published a notice in the                     **Federal Register**                     (86 FR 54977) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, without revision, of the Application Form for Membership on the Community Advisory Committee Council. The comment period for this notice expired on December 6, 2021. The Board did not receive any comments.                

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, February 14, 2022.

Michele Taylor Fennell,

Deputy Associate Secretary of the Board.
