SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA) (5 U.S.C. app., as amended), the 

Department of the Treasury 

(‘‘Department’’) has established the 

Treasury Advisory Committee on Racial 

Equity (‘‘Committee’’). The Department 

has determined that establishing this 

committee is necessary and in the 

public interest in order to carry out the 

provisions of Executive Order 13985, 

Advancing Racial Equity and Support 

for Underserved Communities 

Throughout the Federal Government. 

Committee Membership 

In order to achieve a fairly balanced 

membership, the Committee shall 

include representatives from a wide 

range of views, such as the Federal 

government, financial services industry, 

state regulatory authorities, consumer or 

public advocacy organizations, 

community-based groups, academia, 

philanthropic organizations, as well as 

others focused on the advancement of 

equity priorities within the United 

States. Membership balance will not be 

static and may change, depending on 

the work of the Committee. The number 

of Committee members shall not exceed 

twenty-five. The Committee shall meet 

at such intervals as are necessary to 

carry out its duties. It is estimated that 

the Committee will generally meet four 

times per year, virtually or in person. 

Generally, Committee meetings are open 

to the public. 

Background 

Objectives and Duties 

The purpose of the Committee is to 

provide advice and recommendations to 

the Department of the Treasury to assist 

the Offices of the Secretary and Deputy 

Secretary in carrying out their duties 

and authorities towards advancing 

racial equity and addressing acute 

disparities for communities of color 

who have been historically underserved, 

marginalized, and adversely affected by 

persistent poverty and inequality. 

The Committee will provide an 

opportunity for experts to offer their 

advice and recommendations to the 

Office of the Secretary on a regular basis 

on aspects of the domestic economy that 

have directly and indirectly resulted in 

unfavorable conditions for Black, 

Latino, and Indigenous and Native 

American persons, Asian Americans 

and Pacific Islanders and other persons 

of color. Topics to be addressed by the 

Committee may include, but are not 

limited to, financial inclusion, capital 

access, housing stability, federal 

government supplier diversity and 

economic development. 

The duties of the Committee shall be 

solely advisory and shall extend only to 

the submission of advice and 

recommendations to the Offices of the 

Secretary and Deputy Secretary, which 

shall be non-binding to the Department. 

No determination of fact or policy shall 

be made by the Committee. Membership 

appointments are for a duration of two 

years. Members will not receive 

compensation, other than 

reimbursement for travel, if required. 

Application Process for Advisory 

Committee Appointment
