U.S. Coast Guard Stop 7501, 2703 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. SE., 
Washington, DC 20593-7501.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commercial Fishing Safety Advisory 
Committee is a federal advisory committee established in accordance 
with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, (Title 5, U.S.C. Appendix). 
The Coast Guard chartered the Commercial Fishing Safety Advisory 
Committee to provide advice on issues related to the safety of 
commercial fishing industry vessels regulated under chapter 45 of title 
46, United States Code, which includes uninspected fish catching 
vessels, fish processing vessels, and fish tender vessels. (See 46 
U.S.C. 4508.)

[[Page 55470]]

    The Commercial Fishing Safety Advisory Committee meets at least 
once a year. It may also meet for other extraordinary purposes. Its 
subcommittees or working groups may communicate throughout the year to 
prepare for meetings or develop proposals for the committee as a whole 
to address specific tasks.
    Each member serves for a term of three years. An individual may be 
appointed to a term as a member more than once, but not more than two 
terms consecutively. All members serve at their own expense and receive 
no salary from the Federal Government, although travel reimbursement 
and per diem may be provided for called meetings.
    The Coast Guard will consider applications for five (05) positions 
that expire or become vacant in May 2017 in the following categories:
    (a) Individuals who represent the Commercial Fishing Industry (two 
positions);
    (b) An individual who represents the General Public (one position), 
particularly an independent expert or consultant in maritime safety;
    (c) An individual who represents education or training 
professionals related to fishing vessel, fish processing vessel, or 
fish tender vessel safety, or personnel qualifications (one position).
    (d) An individual who represents underwriters that insure 
commercial fishing industry vessels (one position).
    If you are selected as a member who represents the general public, 
you will be appointed and serve as a Special Government Employee as 
defined in section 202(a) of Title 18, U.S.C. 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). Only the 
Designated Coast Guard Ethics Official or his or her designee may 
release a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report. 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 in FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Applications for a member who represents 
the general public which are not accompanied by a completed OGE Form 
450 will not be considered.
    Registered lobbyists are not eligible to serve on federal advisory 
committees in an individual capacity. See ``Revised Guidance on 
Appointment of Lobbyist to Federal Advisory Committees, Boards, and 
Commissions'' (79 CFR 47482, August 13, 2014). The position we list for 
a member who represents 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), Title 18, U.S.C. Registered 
lobbyists are lobbyists as defined in 2 U.S.C. 1602 who are required by 
2 U.S.C 1603 to register with the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of 
the House Representatives.
    The Department of Homeland Security does not discriminate in 
selection of Committee 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 any 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 interested in applying to become a member of the 
Committee, send your cover letter and resume to Mr. Jack Kemerer, 
Commercial Fishing Safety Advisory Committee Alternate Designated 
Federal Officer, via one of the transmittal methods in the ADDRESSES 
section by the deadline in the DATES section. All email submittals will 
receive an email receipt confirmation.

    Dated: August 15, 2016.
