SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Maritime Security Advisory
Committee is a Federal advisory committee. The Committee was
established by section 602 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. 70112. 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 through the Commandant of the U.S.
Coast Guard, on matters relating to national maritime security,
including on enhancing the sharing of information related to
cybersecurity risks that may cause a transportation security incident,
between relevant Federal agencies and State, local, and tribal
governments; relevant public safety and emergency response agencies;
relevant law enforcement and security organizations; maritime industry;
port owners and operators; and terminal owners and operators.
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.
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), its members are required to
apply for, obtain, and maintain a government national security
clearance at the Secret level. The U.S. Coast Guard will sponsor and
assist candidates with this process.
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, actual reasonable expenses, or both incurred in
the performance of their direct duties for the Committee in accordance
with Federal Travel Regulations.
In this solicitation for Committee Members, we will consider
applications for the following seven positions:
<bullet> One member shall represent the Maritime Industry
<bullet> One member shall represent Vessel Owner/Operators
<bullet> One member shall represent Facility Owner/Operators
<bullet> One member shall represent the Academic Community
<bullet> One member shall represent Port Authorities
<bullet> One member shall represent Maritime Labor
<bullet> One member shall represent State and Local Governments
Each member of the Committee 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.
In order for the Department, to fully leverage broad ranging
experience and education, the National Maritime Security 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#44363d252a6a226a2b33212a3704313727236a292d28"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="94e6edf5fabaf2bafbe3f1fae7d4e1e7f7f3baf9fdf8">[email protected]</span></a> as provided
