SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Offshore 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 (Pub. L. 115-282, 132 Stat.
4192), and amended by section 8331 of the Elijah E. Cummings Coast
Guard Authorization Act of 2020 (Pub. L. 116-283, 134 Stat. 4702) and
is codified in 46 U.S.C. 15106. The Committee operates under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. ch. 10) and
46 U.S.C. 15109. The Committee provides advice and recommendations to
the Secretary of Homeland Security on matters relating to activities
directly involved with, or in support of, the exploration of offshore
mineral and energy resources, to the extent that such matters are
within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Committee is required to meet at least once a year in
accordance with 46 U.S.C. 15109(a). We expect the Committee to meet at
least twice a year, but it may meet more frequently. The meetings are
generally held in Houston, Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana.
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. 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).
All members serve at their own expense and receive no salary or
other compensation from the Federal Government. 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 the following three positions:
<bullet> One member representing entities engaged in offshore oil
exploration and production on the Outer Continental Shelf adjacent to
Alaska.
<bullet> One member representing entities engaged in offshore
drilling (one of two positions in this category is open).
<bullet> One member representing entities engaged in the
construction of offshore facilities on the U.S. Outer Continental
Shelf.
The members who will fill the positions described above will be
appointed to represent the interest of their respective groups and
viewpoints 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 Offshore 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#81d1e0f5f3e8e2eaafd6afc2ede0f3eac1f4f2e2e6afece8ed"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d686b7a2a4bfb5bdf881f895bab7a4bd96a3a5b5b1f8bbbfba">[email protected]</span></a> as
provided in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. Applications must
include: (a) a cover letter expressing interest in an appointment to
the National Offshore Safety Advisory Committee, (b) a resume detailing
the applicant's relevant experience for the position applied for, and
(c) a brief biography of the applicant by the deadline in the DATES
section of this notice.
The U.S. Coast Guard will not consider incomplete or late
applications.
Dated: February 13, 2024.
