Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee; Merchant Mariner 
Medical Advisory Committee

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Notice of Federal Advisory Committee meetings; update.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard published in the Federal Register on Friday, 
March 6, 2015, two meeting notices announcing the Merchant Marine 
Personnel Advisory Committee and Merchant Mariner Medical Advisory 
Committee. This notice corrects the previous notices to add an 
explanation for why 15-days advance notice was not given as required by 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act regulations. All other information 
regarding the meetings has not changed.

DATES: The Merchant Mariner Medical Advisory Committee met on Monday, 
March 16 and Tuesday, March 17, 2015, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The 
Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee working groups are 
scheduled to meet on March 18, 2015, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., and the 
full Committee is scheduled to meet on March 19, 2015, from 8 a.m. 
until 4 p.m.

Designated Federal Officer for Merchant Mariner Medical Advisory 
Committee, telephone 202-372-1128 or email [email protected] and

Personnel Advisory Committee, telephone 202-372-1445 or email 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 6, 2015, the Coast Guard published 
two notices of Federal Advisory Committee Act meetings in the Federal 
Register. 80 FR 12187. These notices announced the meeting dates and 
information for the Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee and 
Merchant Mariner Medical Advisory Committee, respectively. This update 
to those notices does not change any meeting dates or information 
provided in the original notices, which can be found at 80 FR 12187.
    General Services Administration rules, Title 41, Code of Federal 
Regulations, Sec.  102-365(b) requires meeting notices to be published 
at least 15 calendar days prior to an advisory committee meeting. In 
exceptional circumstances, the agency may provide notice in less than 
15 calendar days but the agency must provide a reason as to why the 
notice is being published in less than 15 calendar days. This notice 
serves to provide the reasoning required by regulation as to why the 
Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee and Merchant Mariner 
Medical Advisory Committee meeting notices were published in less than 
15 calendar days prior to their respective meetings.
    In the weeks leading up to the meetings, the Department of Homeland 
Security dedicated many of its resources to potential lapse in 
appropriation issues. Because of the redirection of resources to 
support the potential shutdown, the publication of the meeting notices 
for the Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee and Merchant 
Mariner Medical Advisory Committee were delayed.
