SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the provisions of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) (5 U.S.C. App.), the Bureau
hereby gives notice of renewal of the
Community Bank Advisory Council.
The CBAC is a discretionary committee
being renewed for the purposes of
compliance with FACA and applicable
statutes. This committee is being
renewed concurrently with the
publication of this notice by filing a
charter with the Acting Director of the
Bureau, the Committee Management
Secretariat of the General Services

Services of the United States House of
Representatives. The charter will also be
posted on the Bureau’s website at

unless renewed by appropriate action.
The purpose of the CBAC is to advise
the Bureau in the exercise of its
functions under the Federal consumer
financial laws as they pertain to
community banks with total assets of
$10 billion or less. The Bureau’s
supervisory process provides an
opportunity for learning and insight into
the operations of financial institutions;
having no corollary for small depository
financial institutions, the Bureau
created this committee to facilitate a
similar opportunity for community
banks to share insights regarding
operational and technical
considerations, community banking
industry business practices, and the
unique needs of their customers and
communities. This group also provides
timely and pertinent information on
how Bureau policies impact community
banks.
The duties of the CBAC are solely
advisory and shall extend only to its
submission of advice and
recommendations to the Bureau relating
to the activities and operations of
community banks, which shall be nonbinding on the Bureau. To ensure
understanding of compliance and
regulatory challenges faced by
community banks, inclusion on the
CBAC will be limited to community

fact or policy will be made by the
committee, or its individual members,
and the committee will have no formal
decision-making role and no access to
nonpublic CFPB information, to include
confidential supervisory or other
confidential information. The Bureau
posts meeting minutes from the public
advisory committee meetings on its
website.
In appointing members to the
committee, the Director shall seek to
assemble members with diverse points
of view, institution asset sizes, and
geographical backgrounds. Only bank or
thrift institution employees (e.g., CEOs,
compliance officers, government
relations officials, etc.) will be
considered for membership.
Membership is limited to employees of
banks and thrifts with total assets of $10
billion or less that are not affiliates of
depository institutions or community
banks with total assets of more than $10
billion.
The CBAC shall consist of at least
eight members serving two-year terms.
All members appointed by the Director
shall serve at the pleasure of the
Director. Equal opportunity practices in
accordance with the Bureau’s policies
shall be followed in all appointments to
the committee.
