SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 17, 2020, the Coast Guard published
a request in the Federal Register (85 FR 15211) for applications for
membership in the National Offshore Safety Advisory Committee. The
Coast Guard is re-soliciting applications from persons interested in
membership on the National Offshore Safety Advisory Committee to
represent the viewpoint of individuals employed in offshore operations.
Applicants who responded to the previous notices do not need to
reapply.
The National Offshore Safety Advisory Committee is a Federal
advisory committee. It will operate under the provisions of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix), and the administrative
provisions in Sec. 601 of the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization
Act of 2018 (specifically, 46 U.S.C. 15109).
The Committee was established on December 4, 2018, by Sec. 601 of
the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018, Public Law
115-282, 132 Stat. 4192 and amended by Sec. 8331 of the Elijah E.
Cummings Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2020, Public Law 116-283.
That authority is codified in 46 U.S.C. 15106. The Committee will
advise the Secretary of Homeland Security on matters relating to
activities directly involved with, or in support of, the exploration of
offshore mineral and energy resources, to the extent that such matters
are within the jurisdiction of the Coast Guard.
The Committee is required to meet at least once a year in
accordance with 46 U.S.C. 15109(a). We expect the Committee to meet at
least twice a year, but it may meet more frequently. The meetings are
generally held in cities that have high concentrations of maritime
personnel and related marine industry businesses.
All members serve at their own expense and receive no salary or
other compensation from the Federal Government.
Under the provisions in 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(6), if you are appointed
as a
[[Page 70856]]
member of the Committee, your membership term will expire on December
31st of the third full year after the effective date of your
appointment. The Secretary may require an individual to have passed an
appropriate security background examination before appointment to the
Committee, 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(4).
While there are two positions on the advisory committee
representing the viewpoints of individuals employed in offshore
operations, there is currently only one vacancy.
The Department of Homeland Security does not discriminate in
selection of Committee members based on race, color, religion, sex,
national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender
identity, marital status, disabilities 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 selections.
If you are interested in applying to become a member of the
Committee, email your cover letter and resume along with the brief
biography to Patrick W. Clark, Designated Federal Officer of the
National Offshore Safety Advisory Committee, via the transmittal method
provided in the ADDRESSES section by the deadline in the DATES section
of this notice.
Date: December 2, 2021.
Jeffrey G. Lantz,
Director of Commercial Regulations and Standards.
