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 (‘‘Secretary’’)
on means to promote and enhance
individuals’ and families’ financial
capability. The Council held its first
meeting on November 30, 2010, its
second on April 21, 2011, and its third

the Council outlined five guiding
principles based on the current state of
financial education and access, to serve
as an aid to the Council in making its
final recommendations to the President
and the Secretary. Also on July 12, the
Council identified three themes.
Together, the principles and themes will
serve as the framework for the final
recommendations the Council will make
to the President and the Secretary. The
Council also believes there are many
alternative tactics that can be used to
achieve the goals expressed in the
themes. In particular, the Council is
interested in approaches that have
proven to be effective in advancing the
three themes and can be scaled up.
Please include examples and associated
research supporting the effectiveness of
the approaches. Each of the Council
subcommittees (Access, Partnerships,
Research and Evaluation, and Youth)
will review the timely submitted
comments to inform their
recommendations to the full Council.
Request for Comments: Comments are
requested on both the themes and
principles, and tactics that will achieve
their goals. In particular, the Council is
interested in approaches that have
proven to be effective in advancing the
three themes and can be scaled up.
Commenters are urged to keep
comments succinct and relevant to the
content expressed by the themes and
principles; therefore we request
responses no longer than three pages.
The themes and principles are posted
on the Department’s Web site: https://
