initial notice do not need to reapply.
    The Lower Mississippi River Waterway Safety Advisory Committee is a 
Federal advisory committee under the authority found in section 19 of 
the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1991, (Pub. L. 102-241) as amended 
by

[[Page 23807]]

section 621 of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010, Public Law 
111-281. This Committee is established in accordance with and operates 
under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, (Title 5, 
United States Code, Appendix). The Lower Mississippi River Waterway 
Safety Advisory Committee advises the U.S. Coast Guard on matters 
relating to communications, surveillance, traffic management, 
anchorages, development, and operation of the New Orleans Vessel 
Traffic Service, and other related topics dealing with navigation 
safety on the Lower Mississippi River as required by the U.S. Coast 
Guard.
    The Committee expects to meet at least two times annually. It may 
also meet for extraordinary purposes with the approval of the 
Designated Federal Officer.
    We will consider applications for 25 positions that expire or 
become vacant August 27, 2015. To be eligible, you should have 
experience regarding the transportation, equipment, and techniques that 
are used to ship cargo and to navigate vessels on the Lower Mississippi 
River and its connecting navigable waterways, including the Gulf of 
Mexico. The 25 positions available for application are broken down as 
follows:
    1. Five members representing River Port authorities between Baton 
Rouge, Louisiana, and the Head of Passes of the Lower Mississippi 
River, of which one member shall be from the Port of St. Bernard and 
one member from the Port of Plaquemines.
    2. Two members representing vessel owners domiciled in the state of 
Louisiana.
    3. Two members representing organizations which operate harbor tugs 
or barge fleets in the geographical area covered by the Committee.
    4. Two members representing companies which transport cargo or 
passengers on the navigable waterways in the geographical area covered 
by the Committee.
    5. Three members representing State Commissioned Pilot 
organizations, with one member each representing New Orleans-Baton 
Rouge Steamship Pilots Association, the Crescent River Port Pilots 
Association, and the Associated Branch Pilots Association.
    6. Two at-large members who utilize water transportation facilities 
located in the geographical area covered by the Committee.
    7. Three members each one representing one of three categories: 
consumers, shippers, and importers-exporters that utilize vessels which 
utilize the navigable waterways covered by the Committee.
    8. Two members representing those licensed merchant mariners, other 
than pilots, who perform shipboard duties on those vessels which 
utilize navigable waterways covered by the Committee.
    9. One member representing an organization that serves in a 
consulting or advisory capacity to the maritime industry.
    10. One member representing an environmental organization.
    11. One member drawn from the general public.
    12. One member representing the Associated Federal Pilots and 
Docking Masters of Louisiana.
    Each member serves for a term of 2 years. Members may serve 
consecutive terms. All members serve at their own expense and receive 
no salary, reimbursement of travel expenses, or other compensation from 
the Federal Government. If you are selected as a member from the 
general public and from at-large members who utilize water 
transportation facilities in the geographical area covered by the 
Committee, you will be appointed and serve as a Special Government 
Employee as defined in section 202(a) of Title 18, United States Code. 
As a candidate for appointment as a Special Government Employee,

site of the Office of Government Ethics (www.oge.gov), or by contacting 
the individual listed above. Applications for Special Government 
Employee which are not accompanied by a completed OGE Form 450 will not

committees in an individual capacity. See ``Revised Guidance on 
Appointment of Lobbyist to Federal Advisory Committees, Boards and 
Commissions'' (79 FR 47482, August 13, 2014). Positions we list for

water transportation facilities in the geographical area covered by the 
Committee would be someone appointed in an individual capacity and 
would be designated as a Special Government Employee as defined in 
202(a) of Title 18, United States Code. Registered lobbyists are
