Nominations for Vacancies

    Section 512 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 
(ERISA), 88 Stat. 895, 29 U.S.C. 1142, provides for the establishment 
of an Advisory Council on Employee Welfare and Pension Benefit Plans 
(the Council), which is to consist of 15 members to be appointed by the 
Secretary of Labor (the Secretary) as follows: Three representatives of 
employee organizations (at least one of whom shall be a representative 
of an organization whose members are participants in a multiemployer 
plan); three representatives of employers (at least one of whom shall

multiemployer plans); one representative each from the fields of

shall be a person representing those receiving benefits from a pension 
plan). No more than eight members of the Council shall be members of 
the same political party.
    Council members shall be persons qualified to appraise the programs 
instituted under ERISA. Appointments are for terms of three years. The 
prescribed duties of the Council are to advise the Secretary with 
respect to the carrying out of his or her functions under ERISA, and to 
submit to the Secretary, or his or her designee, recommendations with 
respect thereto. The Council will meet at least four times each year.
    The terms of five members of the Council expire at the end of this 
year. The groups or fields they represent are as follows: (1) Employee 
organizations; (2) employers; (3) corporate trust; (4) investment 
management; and (5) the general public. The Department of Labor is 
committed to equal opportunity in the workplace and seeks a broad-based 
and diverse Council.
    Accordingly, notice is hereby given that any person or organization 
desiring to nominate one or more individuals for appointment to the 
Advisory Council on Employee Welfare and Pension Benefit Plans to 
represent any of the groups or fields specified in the preceding 
paragraph may submit nominations to Larry Good, Council Executive 
Secretary, Frances Perkins Building, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 
Constitution Avenue NW., Suite N-5623, Washington, DC 20210, or as 
email attachments to [email protected]. Nominations (including 
supporting nominations) must be received on or before August 1, 2017. 
Please allow three weeks for regular mail delivery to the Department of 
Labor. If sending electronically, please use an attachment in rich 
text, Word, or pdf format. Nominations may be in the form of a letter, 
resolution or petition, signed by the person making the nomination or, 
in the case of a nomination by an organization, by an authorized 
representative of the organization.
    Nominations, including supporting letters, should:
     State the person's qualifications to serve on the Council.
     State that the candidate will accept appointment to the 
Council if offered.
     Include which of the five positions (representing groups 
or fields) the candidate is nominated to fill.
     Include the nominee's full name, work affiliation, mailing 
address, phone number, and email address.
     Include the nominator's full name, mailing address, phone 
number, and email address.
     Include the nominator's signature, whether sent by email 
or otherwise.

Please do not include any information that you do not want publicly 
disclosed.
    In selecting Council members, the Secretary of Labor will consider 
individuals nominated in response to this Federal Register notice, as 
well as other qualified individuals.
    Nominees will be contacted to provide information on their 
political affiliation and their status as registered lobbyists. Anyone 
currently subject to federal registration requirements as a lobbyist is 
not eligible for appointment. Nominees should be aware of the time 
commitment for attending meetings and actively participating in the 
work of the Council. Historically, this has meant a commitment of at 
least 20 days per year. The Department of Labor has a process for 
vetting nominees under consideration for appointment.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of June 2017.
Timothy D. Hauser,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Program Operations, Employee Benefits 
Security Administration.
