Banking (‘‘the Committee’’). After 

consultation with the General Services 

Administration, as required by section 

9(a)(2) of FACA and 41 CFR 102–3.65, 

the Chairman of the FDIC certifies that 

she has determined that the 

establishment of the Committee is in the 

public interest in connection with the 

performance of duties imposed on the 

FDIC by law. The Committee will 

provide advice and recommendations 

on a broad range of policy issues that 

have a particular impact on small 

community banks throughout the 

United States and the local communities 

that are served by those community 

banks, including a focus on rural areas. 

The Committee will review various 

issues concerning community banks 

that may include, but are not limited to, 

the latest examination policies and 

procedures, credit and lending 

practices, deposit insurance 

assessments, insurance coverage issues, 

and regulatory compliance matters, as 

well as any obstacles to the continued 

growth and ability of community banks 

to extend financial services in their 

local markets in the current market 

environment. The Committee will 

function solely as an advisory body, and 

in compliance with the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act. The 

Committee will represent community 

banks of various sizes and charter types, 

both urban and rural, from different 

regions of the country, and members of 

the Committee may also represent 

individuals, small businesses, not-forprofit community organizations, or 

other entities that rely on community 

banks to provide credit and other 

banking services in their communities, 

as well as one or more representatives 

from academic institutions. 

Dated at Washington, DC, this 3rd day of 

May, 2009. 

Valerie J. Best, 

Assistant Executive Secretary.
