SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 4, 2015, the Coast Guard 
published a request in the Federal Register (80 FR 6096), for 
applications for membership in the National Boating Safety Advisory 
Council. The deadline to submit an application was April 6, 2015. The 
Coast Guard is extending the deadline until May 26, 2015. Applicants 
who responded to the initial notice do not need to reapply.
    The National Boating Safety Council is a Federal advisory committee 
under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C., Appendix). It was 
established under the authority of 46 United States Code 13110 and 
advises the Coast Guard on boating safety regulations and other major 
boating safety matters.
    The National Boating Safety Advisory Council has 21 members: Seven 
representatives of State officials responsible for State boating safety

[[Page 27183]]

programs, seven representatives of recreational boat manufacturers and 
associated equipment manufacturers, and seven representatives of 
national recreational boating organizations and the general public, at 
least five of whom are representatives of national recreational boating 
organizations. Members are appointed by the Secretary of the Department 
of Homeland Security.
    The Council usually meets at least twice each year at a location 
selected by the Coast Guard. It may also meet for extraordinary 
purposes. Subcommittees or working groups may also meet to consider 
specific issues.
    We will consider applications for seven positions that expire or 
become vacant on December 31, 2015:
     Two representatives of State officials responsible for 
State boating safety programs;
     Two representatives of recreational boat and associated 
equipment manufacturers; and
     Three representatives of national recreational boating 
organizations or the general public.
     Applications will also be considered for a one vacancy in 
the national recreational boating organizations or the general public 
membership category that was caused by a last minute change in 
eligibility of an individual recommended for appointment in 2015. This 
position will serve a term that expires on December 31, 2017.
    Applicants are considered for membership on the basis of their 
particular expertise, knowledge, and experience in recreational boating 
safety. The vacancies announced in this notice apply to membership 
positions that become vacant on January 1, 2016. To be eligible, you 
should have experience in one of the categories listed above.
    Registered lobbyists are not eligible to serve on Federal advisory 
committees in an individual capacity. See ``Revised Guidance on 
Appointment of Lobbyists to Federal Advisory Committees, Boards and 
Commissions'' (79 FR 47482, August 13, 2014). The category for a member 
from the general public would be someone appointed in their 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 lobbyists required to comply with provisions contained in The 
Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-65; as amended by Title II 
of Pub. L. 110-81).
    Each member serves for a term of three years. Members may be 
considered to serve a maximum of two full consecutive terms. All 
members serve at their own expense and receive no salary, or other 
compensation from the Federal Government. The exception to this policy 
is when attending National Boating Safety Advisory Council meetings; 
members may be reimbursed for travel expenses and provided per diem in 
accordance with Federal Travel Regulations.
    The Department of Homeland Security does not discriminate in 
selection of Council members on the basis of race, color, religion, 
sex, national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender 
identity, marital status, disability and genetic information, age, 
membership in an employee organization, or other non-merit factor. The 
Department of Homeland Security strives to achieve a widely diverse 
candidate pool for all of its recruitment actions.
    If you are selected as a non-representative member or as a member 
from the general public, you will 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, 
applicants are required to complete a Confidential Financial Disclosure 
Report (OGE Form 450). The Coast Guard may not release the reports or 
the information in them to the public except under an order issued by a 
Federal court or as otherwise provided under the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 
552a). Applicants can obtain this form by going to the Web site of the 
Office of Government Ethics (www.oge.gov) or by contacting the 
individual listed above in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 
Applications which are not accompanied by a completed OGE Form 450 will 
not be considered.
    If you are interested in applying to become a member of the 
Council, send your cover letter and resume to Mr. Jeff Ludwig, 
Alternate Designated Federal Officer of National Boating Safety 
Advisory Council by email or mail according to the instructions in the 
ADDRESSES section by the deadline in the DATES section of this notice.
