SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Maritime Security Advisory 
Committee is a Federal advisory committee. The Committee was 
established on December 4, 2018, by section 602 of the Frank LoBiondo 
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018, Pub. L. 115-282, 132 Stat. 4192 
(codified at 46 U.S.C. 70112). The Committee operates under the 
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, (5 U.S.C. Appendix), 
and 46 U.S.C. 15109. The National Maritime Security Advisory Committee 
provides advice, consults with, and makes recommendations to the 
Secretary of Homeland Security, via the Commandant of the U.S. Coast 
Guard, on matters relating to national maritime security, including on 
enhancing the sharing of information related to cybersecurity risks 
that may cause a transportation security incident, between relevant 
Federal agencies and--
    A. State, local, and tribal governments;
    B. relevant public safety and emergency response agencies;
    C. relevant law enforcement and security organizations;
    D. maritime industry;
    E. port owners and operators; and
    F. terminal owners and operators.
    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, but it may meet more frequently.

    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.
    As required by 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(6), if you are appointed as a 
member of the Committee, your membership term will expire on December 
31 of the third full year after the effective date of your appointment. 
Members serve at the pleasure of the Secretary of Homeland Security and 
may be removed prior to the end of their term for just cause. In this 
solicitation for Committee members, we will consider applications for 
two (2) positions:
    <bullet> Maritime labor;
    <bullet> State and local governments.
    Each member of the Committee serves as a representative and must 
have particular expertise, knowledge, and experience in matters 
relating to the function of the Committee, which is to advise the 
Secretary of Homeland Security on the matters described above.
    Under 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(4), its members are required to apply for, 
obtain, and maintain a government national security clearance at the 
Secret level. The U.S. Coast Guard will sponsor and assist candidates 
with this process.
    In order for the Department to fully leverage broad-ranging 
experience and education, the National Maritime Security 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
