Representative Payment Advisory Committee; Notice of 
Establishment

    Pursuant to Pub. L. 92-463, the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as 
amended, (5 U.S.C. App.), the Social Security Administration announces 
the establishment by the Commissioner of the Representative Payment 
Advisory Committee.
    The Committee shall advise the Commissioner concerning 
representative payment policy in five broad areas: (1) Beneficiary 
incapability; (2) payee selection; (3) payee recruitment and retention; 
(4) standards for payee performance; and (5) payee oversight. The 
Committee shall assess the need for change in representative payment 
policy and make recommendations for possible legislation. The Committee 
is necessary and in the public interest.
    The Committee will consist of at least 13 members, including the 
Chair, who are knowledgeable of the issues related to the Committee's 
function. They shall be selected from outstanding authorities in the 
fields of social services; disability, including mental health, 
developmental disabilities, and substance abuse; elder concerns; social 
welfare law; and State/local government. The Commissioner will give 
close attention to equitable geographic distribution and to minority 
and female representation as appropriate. Appointments shall be made 
without discrimination on the basis of age, race, sex, cultural, 
religious or socioeconomic status.
    The Committee shall terminate after submission of its final report 
on July 1, 1996, unless the Commissioner formally determines that 
continuance is in the public interest and renews the Committee.
Sandy Crank,
Associate Commissioner, Office of Program Benefits Policy.
