Supplementary Information
In the April 16, 1999 issue of the Federal Register (64 FR 53845) the Coast Guard advised the public of its intent to establish the Great Lakes Pilotage Advisory Committee (GLPAC) and requested applications for membership on the committee. This notice reopens the period for submission of applications and corrects information regarding payment of travel expenses and per diem for members.
Reopening of Application Period
In the April 16 notice, the Coast Guard requested applications for membership on GLPAC, and the application period closed on June 15, 1999. We are reopening the application period until December 15, 1999. If you applied in response to the April 16 notice, you do not need to send another application form. GLPAC is a Federal advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App. 2. It advises the Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety and Environmental Protection on matters relating to Great Lakes pilotage. It may advise, consult with, report to, and make recommendations to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation and may make these recommendations available to the Congress. GLPAC will meet at the call of the Secretary at least once a year. It may also meet at the call of a majority of its members. Its subcommittee and working groups may meet to consider specific problem as required. GLPAC will be composed of seven members as follows:
(a) Three members who are practicing Great Lakes Pilots and who reflect a regional balance. (b) One member who represents the interests of vessel operators that contract for Great Lakes Pilotage services. (c) One member who represents the interests of Great Lakes ports. (d) One member who represents the interests of shippers whose cargoes are transported through Great Lakes ports; and (e) One member who represents the interests of the general public and who is an independent expert on the Great Lakes maritime industry. To be eligible for membership on GLPAC, applications must have at least 5 years of practical experience in maritime operations. In support of the policy of the Department of Transportation on gender and ethnic diversity, we encourage qualified women and members of minority groups to apply. If you are selected, we may require you to complete a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form 450). We may not release the report or the information in its 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).
Correction
In our April 16 notice, the Coast Guard Advises that, ``All members serve at their own expense and receive no salary, reimbursement of travel expenses, or other compensation from the Federal Government.'' The notice should have read, ``All members serve without compensation from the Federal Government; however, travel reimbursement and per diem will be provided.''
