SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. 10), the Department has established the Treasury
Advisory Committee on Racial Equity. The Department has determined that
establishing this Committee was 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.
Background
Objectives and Duties
The purpose of the Committee is to provide advice and
recommendations to the Department on efforts to advance racial equity
and address acute disparities for communities of color that have been
historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by
persistent poverty and inequality. The Committee will identify,
monitor, and review aspects of the domestic economy that have directly
and indirectly resulted in unfavorable conditions for communities of
color. The Committee plans to address topics including but not limited
to: financial inclusion, access to capital, housing stability, federal
supplier diversity, and economic development. The duties of the
Committee are solely advisory and extend only to the submission of non-
binding advice and recommendations to the Department. No determination
of fact or policy shall be made by the Committee.
The agenda for the meeting includes opening remarks from the Chair
and Vice-Chair of TACRE, an overview of work from TACRE subcommittees,
and a presentation of strategic questions to help the subcommittees
focus on their work. This will be followed by a general discussion of
the Committee and potentially a vote on short-term and long-term
matters that Committee would like to focus on during the next two
years. Meeting times and topics are subject to change.
Second Periodic Meeting: In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of the
FACA and implementing regulations at 41 CFR 102-3.150, Snider Page, the
