SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Montana, New Mexico, Alaska, Wyoming, 
and Indiana Advisory Committees are statutorily mandated federal 
advisory committees of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights pursuant to 
42 U.S.C. 1975a. Under the charter for the advisory committees, the 
purpose is to provide advice and recommendations to the U.S. Commission 
on Civil Rights (Commission) on a broad range of civil rights matters 
in its respective state that pertain to alleged deprivations of voting 
rights or discrimination or denials of equal protection of the laws 
because of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national 
origin, or the administration of justice. Advisory committees also 
provide assistance to the Commission in its statutory obligation to 
serve as a national clearinghouse for civil rights information.
    Each advisory committee consists of not more than 19 members, each 
of whom will serve a four-year term. Members serve as unpaid Special 
Government Employees who are reimbursed for travel and expenses. To be 
eligible to be on an advisory committee, applicants must be residents 
of the respective state or district, and have demonstrated expertise or 
interest in civil rights issues.
    The Commission is an independent, bipartisan agency established by 
Congress in 1957 to focus on matters of race, color, religion, sex, 
age, disability, or national origin. Its mandate is to:
     Investigate complaints from citizens that their voting 
rights are being deprived,
     study and collect information about discrimination or 
denials of equal protection under the law,
     appraise federal civil rights laws and policies,
     serve as a national clearinghouse on discrimination laws,
     submit reports and findings and recommendations to the 
President and the Congress, and
     issue public service announcements to discourage 
discrimination.
    The Commission invites any individual who is eligible to be 
appointed a member of the Montana, New Mexico, Alaska, Wyoming, or 
Indiana Advisory Committee covered by this notice to send a letter of 
interest and a resume to the respective address above.

    Dated: September 7, 2016.
