Financial Research Advisory
Committee-Solicitation of applications
for committee membership.
ACTION:
The Office of Financial
Research is soliciting applications for
membership on its Financial Research
Advisory Committee.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Melissa Avstreih, Designated Federal
Officer, Office of Financial Research,
Department of The Treasury, (202) 425–
2483.
Pursuant
to the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
(Pub. L. 92–463, 5 U.S.C. app. 2 1–16,
as amended), the Treasury Department
established a Financial Research
Advisory Committee (FRAC, or
Committee) to provide advice and
recommendations to the Office of
Financial Research (OFR) and to assist
the OFR in carrying out its duties and
authorities.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
(I) Authorities of the OFR
Background
The OFR was established under Title
I of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act (Pub. L.
111–203, July 21, 2010). The purpose of
the OFR is to support the Financial
Stability Oversight Council (Council) in
fulfilling the purposes and duties of the
Council and to support the Council’s
member agencies by:
PO 00000
Frm 00116
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
—Collecting data on behalf of the
Council, and providing such data to
the Council and member agencies;
—Standardizing the types and formats
of data reported and collected;
—Performing applied research and
essential long-term research;
—Developing tools for risk
measurement and monitoring;
—Performing other related services;
—Making the results of the activities of
the OFR available to financial
regulatory agencies; and
—Assisting such member agencies in
determining the types and formats of
data authorized by the Dodd-Frank
Act to be collected by such member
agencies.
(II) Scope and Membership of the FRAC
The FRAC was established to advise
the OFR on issues related to the
responsibilities of the office. It may
provide its advice, recommendations,
analysis, and information directly to the
OFR and the OFR may share the
Committee’s advice and
recommendations with the Secretary of
the Treasury or other Treasury officials.
The OFR will share information with
the Committee as the OFR Director
determines will be helpful in allowing
the FRAC to carry out its role.
The FRAC is an advisory committee
that was originally established on April
6, 2012. Its charter was renewed several
times, most recently on January 26,
2022. The OFR is currently soliciting
applications for membership in order to
provide for rotation of membership, as
provided in its original and current
charter, as well as to provide for a
diverse and balanced body with a
variety of interests, backgrounds, and
viewpoints represented. Providing for
such diversity enhances the views and
advice offered by the FRAC.
(II) Application for Advisory
Committee Appointment
Treasury seeks applications from
individuals representative of a
constituency within the fields of
economics, financial institutions and
markets, statistical analysis, financial
markets analysis, econometrics, applied
sciences, risk management, data
management, information standards,
technology, or other areas related to
OFR’s duties and authorities. The terms
of members chosen to serve are typically
three years. No member of the
Committee serving in their individual
capacity (as opposed to those members
specifically appointed to represent the
interests of a nongovernmental entity, a
recognizable group of persons, or
nongovernmental entities) may be a
Federally-registered lobbyist.
