SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Bureau is charged with regulating 

‘‘the offering and provision of consumer 

financial products or services under the 

Federal consumer financial laws,’’ so as 

to ensure that ‘‘all consumers have 

access to markets for consumer financial 

products and services and that markets 

for consumer financial products and 

services are fair, transparent, and 

competitive.’’ Pursuant to Section 

1021(c) of the Wall Street Reform and 

Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 

111–203 (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’), the 

Bureau’s primary functions are: 

1. Conducting financial education 

programs; 

2. Collecting, investigating, and 

responding to consumer complaints; 

3. Collecting, researching, monitoring, 

and publishing information relevant to 

the function of markets for consumer 

financial products and services to 

identify risks to consumers and the 

proper functioning of such markets; 

4. Supervising persons covered under 

the Dodd-Frank Act for compliance with 

Federal consumer financial law, and 

taking appropriate enforcement action 

to address violations of Federal 

consumer financial law; 

5. Issuing rules, orders, and guidance 

implementing Federal consumer 

financial law; and 

6. Performing such support activities 

as may be needed or useful to facilitate 

the other functions of the Bureau. 

As described in more detail below, 

Section 1014 of the Dodd-Frank Act 

calls for the Director of the Bureau to 

establish a Consumer Advisory Board to 

advise and consult with the Bureau 

regarding its functions, and to provide 

information on emerging trends and 

practices in the consumer financial 

markets. 

III. Qualifications 

Pursuant to Section 1014(b) of the 

Dodd-Frank Act, in appointing members 

to the Board, ‘‘the Director shall seek to 

assemble experts in consumer 

protection, financial services, 

community development, fair lending 

and civil rights, and consumer financial 

products or services and representatives 

of depository institutions that primarily 

serve underserved communities, and 

representatives of communities that 

have been significantly impacted by 

higher-priced mortgage loans, and seek 

representation of the interests of 

covered persons and consumers, 

without regard to party affiliation.’’ The 

determinants of ‘‘expertise’’ shall 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 11 / Friday, January 16, 2015 / Notices 2403 

depend, in part, on the constituency, 

interests, or industry sector the nominee 

seeks to represent, and where 

appropriate, shall include significant 

experience as a direct service provider 

to consumers. 

Pursuant to Section 5 of the 

Community Bank Advisory Council 

Charter, in appointing members to the 

Advisory Council the Director shall seek 

to assemble experts in consumer 

protection, financial services, 

community development, fair lending 

and civil rights, and consumer financial 

products or services and representatives 

of community banks that primarily 

serve underserved communities, and 

representatives of communities that 

have been significantly impacted by 

higher-priced mortgage loans, and shall 

strive to have diversity in terms of 

points of view. Only current bank or 

thrift employees (CEOs, compliance 

officers, government relations officials, 

etc.) will be considered for membership. 

Membership is limited to employees of 

banks and thrifts with total assets of $10 

billion or less that are not affiliates of

ensuring that women, minority groups, 

and individuals with disabilities are 

adequately represented on the Board 

and Councils, and therefore, encourages 

applications from qualified candidates 

from these groups. The Bureau also has 

a special interest in establishing a Board 

that is represented by a diversity of 

viewpoints and constituencies, and 

therefore encourages applications from 

qualified candidates who: 

1. Represent the United States’ 

geographic diversity; and 

2. Represent the interests of special 

populations identified in the DoddFrank Act, including service members, 

older Americans, students, and 

traditionally underserved consumers 

and communities. 

IV. Application Procedures 

Any interested person may apply for 

membership on the Board or Advisory 

Council. 

A complete application packet must 

include: 

1. A recommendation letter from a 

third party describing the applicant’s 

interests and qualifications to serve on 

the Board or Council; 

2. A complete re ́sume ́ or curriculum 

vitae for the applicant; and 

3. A complete application. 

To evaluate potential sources of 

conflicts of interest, the Bureau will ask 

potential candidates to provide 

information related to financial holdings 

and/or professional affiliations, and to 

allow the Bureau to perform a 

background check. The Bureau will not 

review applications and will not answer 

questions from internal or external 

parties regarding applications until the 

application period has closed. 

The Bureau will not entertain 

applications of federally registered 

lobbyists and individuals who have 

been convicted of a felony for a position 

on the Board and Councils. 

Only complete applications will be 

given consideration for review of 

membership on the Board and Councils.
