Membership

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Board is inviting the public to nominate qualified 
individuals for appointment to its Consumer Advisory Council, whose 
membership represents consumer and community interests and the 
financial services industry. Nine new members will be selected for 
three-year terms that will begin in January 1999. The Board expects to 
announce the selection of new members by year-end 1998.

DATES: Nominations should be received by July 31, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Nominations should be submitted in writing and mailed (not 
sent by facsimile) to Sandra F. Braunstein, Assistant Director, 
Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, Board of Governors of the 
Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551.

Council, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, (202) 452-6470. 
For Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) users only: Diane

System, Washington, D.C. 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 USC 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. New members will be selected for terms 
beginning January 1, 1999, to replace members whose terms expire in 
December 1998; the Board expects to announce its appointment of new 
members by year-end. Nomination letters should include information 
about past and present positions held by the nominee; a description of 
special knowledge, interests or experience related to community 
reinvestment, consumer credit, or other consumer financial services; 
and the current address and telephone number of both the nominee and 
the nominator. Individuals may nominate themselves.
    The Board is interested in candidates who have some familiarity 
with consumer financial services or community reinvestment, and who are 
willing to express their viewpoints. 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 area. 
They must be able and willing to make the necessary time commitment to 
prepare for and attend meetings three times a year (usually for two 
days, including committee meetings), held at the Board Offices in 
Washington, D.C. 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, and to ensure the 
representation of women and minority groups. The Board may consider 
prior years' nominees and does not limit consideration to individuals 
nominated by the public when making its selection. Council members 
whose terms end as of December 31, 1998, are:
