SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Merchant Marine Personnel
Advisory Committee is a Federal advisory committee. The Committee was
established on December 4, 2018, by section 601 of the Frank LoBiondo
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018, Public Law 115-282, 132 Stat.
4192, (codified in 46 U.S.C. 15105). The Committee operates under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, (5 U.S.C. Appendix),
and 46 U.S.C. 15109. The Committee provides advice, consults with, and
make recommendations to the Secretary of Homeland Security, via the
[[Page 74156]]
Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, on matters relating to personnel in
the United States merchant marine, including the training,
qualifications, certification, documentation, and fitness of mariners.
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. Members serve at the pleasure of the Secretary of Homeland
Security and maybe be removed prior to the end of their term for just
cause. 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). Committee members
are required to attend and participate in meetings regularly. Members
may be recommended for removal if they miss two consecutive meetings
without a valid reason that is acceptable to the Chair of the Committee
and the Designated Federal Officer.
In this solicitation for Committee members, we will consider
applications for the position of engineering officer who represents
merchant marine engineering officers. Applicants must be United States
citizens holding active licenses or certificates issued under 46 U.S.C.
chapter 71, as an engineering officer licensed as a chief engineer any
horsepower (applicants must currently hold a Merchant Mariner
Credential endorsed as Chief Engineer of unlimited horsepower).
Each member of the Committee serves as a representative and 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.
In order for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to fully
leverage broad-ranging experience and education, the Committee must be
diverse with regard to professional and technical expertise. DHS 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 application to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#fd90989a9c93d39ed3979295938ebd888e9e9ad3909491"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="7e131b191f10501d50141116100d3e0b0d1d1950131712">[email protected]</span></a> provided in
