SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Boating Safety 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, and is codified in 46 U.S.C. 15105. 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 National Boating
Safety Advisory Committee provides advice, consults with, and make
recommendations to the Secretary of Homeland Security, via the
Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, on matters relating to national
recreational boating safety.
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. The
meetings may be held virtually or held at the location across the
country 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. The only compensation
the members may receive is for travel expenses, including per diem in
lieu of subsistence, and or/actual reasonable expenses incurred in the
performance of their direct duties for the Committee 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.
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 may 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).
In this solicitation for Committee members, we will consider
applications for four (4) positions:
State official responsible for State boating safety programs (4
positions).
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.
The members who will fill the four positions will be appointed to
represent the positions described above and are not Special Government
Employees as defined in 18 U.S.C. 202(a).
In order for the Department, to fully leverage broad-ranging
experience and education, the National Boating Safety 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#125c5041535152676171753c7f7b7e"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="2668647567656653554541084b4f4a">[email protected]</span></a> as provided in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice. Applications must include: (1) a
cover letter expressing interest in an appointment to the National
Boating Safety Advisory Committee; (2) a resume detailing the

applications.
