SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Merchant Mariner Medical
Advisory Committee is a Federal advisory committee. The Committee must
operate under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
(Pub. L. 117-286, 5 U.S.C. ch. 10), 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. 15104.
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, at locations across the country
selected by the U.S. Coast Guard.
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. Under 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(4), the Secretary of Homeland
Security may require an individual to have passed an appropriate
security background examination before appointment to the Committee.
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. If you are appointed as a member of the Committee, you
will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement and a Gratuitous
Services Agreement.
In this solicitation for Committee members, we will consider
applications for two (2) positions:
<bullet> One shall be a health-care professional with particular
expertise, knowledge, and experience regarding the medical examinations
of merchant mariners or occupational medicine and represent health-care
professionals.
<bullet> One shall be a professional mariner who has expertise,
knowledge, and experience in occupational requirements for mariners and
represent professional mariners.
Each member of the Committee must have particular expertise,
knowledge, and experience on matters relating to (1) medical
certification determinations for the issuance of licenses,
certification of registry, and merchant mariners' documents with
respect to merchant mariners; (2) medical standards and guidelines for
the physical qualifications of operators of commercial vessels; (3)
medical examiner education; and (4) medical research.
The members who will hold the two positions described above will be
appointed to represent the interest of their respective groups and
viewpoints and are not Special Government Employee as defined in 18
U.S.C. 202(a).
In order for the Department, to fully leverage broad-ranging
experience and education, the National Merchant Mariner Medical
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 application to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c6b6a7aba3aaa7e8ace8aba9a9b4a386b3b5a5a1e8abafaa"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6111000c040d004f0b4f0c0e0e130421141202064f0c080d">[email protected]</span></a> as
