SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Navigation Safety 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

virtually or held 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

All members serve at their own expense and receive no salary or
other compensation from the Federal Government. The only compensation
the members may receive is for travel expenses, including per diem in

the diversity of the Nation's people.
