SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee is composed of the members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and five representatives of the Federal Reserve Banks. The Reserve Bank representatives on the Committee are elected annually in the manner set forth in section 12A of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 263(a)). An alternate also is elected annually for each Reserve Bank representative, and the alternate serves on the Committee in the absence of the relevant Reserve Bank representative.1 The Federal Reserve Act authorizes the Board to prescribe regulations governing the details of the elections of Reserve Bank representatives and alternates.2 The Committee has amended its Rules of Organization to provide that the annual terms of the Committee’s Reserve Bank members (and alternates) shall begin on the date of the Committee’s first regularly scheduled meeting of each calendar year (rather than on January 1st of each year). With this change, the annual terms of the Committee’s Reserve Bank representatives (and alternates) will run from the Committee’s first regularly scheduled meeting of a calendar year to the Committee’s first regularly scheduled meeting of the next calendar year. The amendment synchronizes the terms of the Reserve Bank representatives (and alternates) with the terms of the Committee’s officers and staff, who currently are elected annually at the Committee’s first regularly scheduled meeting of each year. The Committee also has amended its Rules of Organization to clarify that the Committee’s officers and staff are elected at the Committee’s first regularly scheduled meeting of each year, and to reflect the fact that the Committee currently appoints only one Manager for the System Open Market Account. These changes conform the rules to the Committee’s current practice. Finally, the Committee has modified sections 2(b), 4(b), and 5 of its Rules of Organization to make the rules genderneutral. The Committee has incorporated the amendments into the Committee’s Rules of Organization. The Committee’s Rules of Organization are uncodified regulations for use by the Committee, issued pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552. Because the amendments relate solely to the internal organization, procedure or 1 Each Reserve Bank representative and alternate must be a president or first vice president of a Reserve Bank. 2 See 12 U.S.C. 263(a).
