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
[[Page 22287]]
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

specifically referencing the objectives and duties outlined above:
