Title 12 › CHAPTER 3 — FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM › SUBCHAPTER VII — DIRECTORS OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS; RESERVE AGENTS AND ASSISTANTS › § 308
At the first full board meeting of each Federal Reserve Bank, the directors in Classes A, B, and C must each pick three members with staggered end dates: one whose term ends one year from the January 1 closest to that meeting, one ends two years after that date, and one ends three years after that date. After that, directors chosen this way serve three-year terms. If a vacancy occurs, it is filled by the same method used originally, and the replacement serves only the rest of the term.
