SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 29, 2010, the President signed 
Executive Order 13530, creating the Council to assist the American 
people in understanding financial matters and making informed financial 
decisions, thereby contributing to financial stability. The Council is 
composed of two ex officio Federal officials and 11 non-governmental 
members appointed by the President with relevant backgrounds, such as 
financial services, consumer protection, financial access, and 
education. The role of the Council is to advise the President and the 
Secretary of the Treasury on means to promote and enhance individuals' 
and families' financial capability. The Council held its first meeting 
on November 30, 2010 and its second on April 21, 2011. During the April 
2011 meeting, each Council subcommittee presented a progress report and 
the recommendations it thought the Council as a whole should make to 
the President and the Secretary. The Council agreed to make two 
recommendations: (1) That Treasury support the Workplace Leaders in 
Financial Educations Award, administered by the American Institute of 
Certified Public Accountants and the Society for Human Resources 
Management; and (2) that the Treasury issue a challenge to the private 
sector to create applications for mobile devices that promote financial 
capability and financial access. The Department of the Treasury is 
looking into how to implement those recommendations. Additionally, the 
Council discussed the composition of its subcommittees and their 
priorities, and decided that it would be more effective to embed the 
work of the ``Strategy'' subcommittee into the work of the other 
subcommittees.
    In accordance with section 10(a) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2 and the regulations thereunder, Dubis Correal, 
Designated Federal Officer of the Council, has ordered publication of 
this notice that the Council will convene its third meeting on July 12, 
2011, via audio webcast, beginning at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The 
meeting will be open to the public. Details on how to access the audio 
webcast will be posted closer to the date of the meeting at https://www.treasury.gov (click on Resource Center, then Office of Financial 
Education and Financial Access, and then on the President's Advisory 
Council on Financial Capability) or call (202) 622-5770. The purpose of 
the meeting is to receive an update from the Council's subcommittees on 
their ideas, progress, and discuss any possible recommendations.

    Dated: June 9, 2011.
Alastair Fitzpayne,
Executive Secretary, U.S. Department of the Treasury.
