SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commercial Fishing Safety Advisory 
Committee is a federal advisory committee which operates under the 
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Title 5, U.S.C. 
Appendix). The U.S. 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 Title 
46 U.S.C. 4508.)
    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 or other compensation from the Federal Government, although 
travel reimbursement and per diem may be provided for called meetings.
    The U.S. Coast Guard will consider applications for seven (07) 
positions that will be vacant on January 2018 in the following 
categories:
    (a) Individuals who represent the Commercial Fishing Industry (four 
positions);
    (b) An individual who represents the general public (one position), 
a marine surveyor who provides services to vessels to which Chapter 45 
of Title 46 U.S.C. applies;
    (c) An individual who represents manufacturers of equipment for 
vessels to which Chapter 45 of Title 46, U.S.C. applies (one position);
    (d) An individual who represents owners of vessels to which Chapter 
45 of Title 46, U.S.C. applies (one position).

be appointed and serve as a Special Government Employee as defined in 
Section 202(a) of Title 18, U.S.C. Applicants for appointment as a 
Special Government Employee are required to complete a Confidential 
Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form 450). The U.S. 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
