SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Merchant Marine Personnel
Advisory Committee is a Federal advisory committee. The Committee must
operate under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, (5
U.S.C. Appendix), and 46 U.S.C. 15109.
The Committee was established on December 4, 2018, by section 601
of the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 (Pub. L.
115-282, 132 Stat 4192), and is codified in 46 U.S.C. 15105. The
Committee is required to meet at least once a year in accordance with
46 U.S.C. 15109(a). We expect the Committee will hold meetings at least
twice a year. The meetings are held at a location selected by the U.S.
Coast Guard.
All members serve at their own expense and receive no salary or
other compensation from the Federal Government. Members may be
reimbursed for travel and per diem in accordance with Federal Travel
Regulations.
Under provisions in 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(6), if you are appointed as
a 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 of Homeland Security may require an
individual to have passed an appropriate security background
examination before appointment to the Committee, 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(4).
In this solicitation for Committee members, we will consider
applications for two (2) positions:
<bullet> United States citizens holding active licenses or
certificates issued under 46 U.S.C. chapter 71 or merchant mariner
documents issued under 46 U.S.C. chapter 73, as a deck officer who
represents merchant marine deck officers, who currently holds a
Merchant Mariner Credential with an endorsement as Master of Towing
Vessels.
<bullet> One individual who represents the general public.
Each member of the Committee must have particular expertise,
knowledge, and experience on matters related to personnel in the United
States merchant marine, including the training, qualifications,
certification, documentation, and fitness of mariners.
If you are applying for the position who represents the general
public, you will be appointed and serve as a Special Government
Employee as defined in 18 U.S.C. 202(a). Applicants for appointment as
a Special Government Employee are required to complete a Confidential
Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form 450) for new entrants and if
appointed as a member must submit a new entrant OGE Form 450 annually.
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 their designee may release a
Confidential Financial Disclosure Report. Applicants can obtain this
form by going to the website of the Office of Government Ethics
(<a href="http://www.oge.gov">www.oge.gov</a>), or by calling or emailing the individual listed above in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. Applications for members
drawn from the general public must be accompanied by a completed OGE
Form 450.
In order for the Department, to fully leverage broad-ranging
experience and education, the National Merchant Marine Personnel
Advisory Committee must be diverse with regard to professional and
technical expertise. The Department is committed to pursuing
opportunities, consistent with applicable law, to compose a committee
that reflects the diversity of the nation's people.
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 <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#1f727a787e71317c31757077716c5f6a6c7c7831727673"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="2b464e4c4a4505480541444345586b5e58484c05464247">[email protected]</span></a> via the transmittal method provided
