SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: U.S. Customs and Border Protection Airport 
and Seaport Inspections User Fee Advisory Committee is an advisory 
committee established in accordance with the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. Appendix.
    Balanced Membership Plans: The U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
Airport and Seaport Inspections User Fee Advisory Committee may consist 
of up to 20 members. Members are appointed by and serve at the pleasure 
of the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Members are 
selected to represent the point of view of the airline, cruise ship, 
transportation, and other industries that may be subject to 
agriculture, customs, or immigration user fees and are not Special 
Government Employees as defined in 18 U.S.C. 202(a). To achieve a 
fairly balanced membership, the composition of an advisory committee's 
membership will depend upon several factors, including the advisory 
committee's mission; the geographic, ethnic, social, economic, or 
scientific impact of the advisory committee's recommendations; the 
types of specific perspectives required, for example, such as those of 
consumers, technical experts, the public at-large, academia, business, 
or other sectors; the need to obtain divergent points of view on the 
issues before the advisory committee; and the relevance of State, 
local, or tribal governments to the development of the advisory 
committee's recommendations. The Commissioner of U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection will consider a cross-section of those directly 
affected, interested, and qualified, as appropriate to the nature and 
functions of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Airport and Seaport 
Inspections User Fee Advisory Committee. Members shall not be paid or 
reimbursed for any travel, lodging expenses, or related costs for their 
participation on this Committee.

Committee Meetings

    The Committee is expected to meet at least once per year. 
Additional meetings may be held with the approval of the Designated 
Federal Officer. Committee meetings shall be open to the public unless 
a determination is made by the appropriate Department of Homeland 
Security official in accordance with Department of Homeland Security 
policy and directives that the meeting should be closed in accordance 
with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c).

Committee Membership

    Membership on the Committee is personal to the appointee and a 
member may not send an alternate to represent him or her at a Committee 
meeting. Appointees will serve a two-year term of office to run 
concurrent with the duration of the charter.
    No person who is required to register under the Foreign Agents 
Registration Act as an agent or representative of a foreign principal 
may serve on this advisory Committee.
    Members who are currently serving on the Committee are eligible to 
re-apply for membership provided that they are not in their second 
consecutive term and that they have met attendance requirements. A new 
application letter is required. Members will not be paid compensation 
by the Federal Government for their services with respect to the U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection Airport and Seaport Inspections User Fee 
Advisory Committee.
