SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Boating Safety Advisory
Committee is a Federal advisory committee. The Committee was
established 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. 15105. The Committee operates 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 to, consults with, and makes
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.
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 provisions in 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. The only compensation
the members may receive is for travel expenses, including per diem in
lieu of subsistence, and 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.
In this solicitation for Committee members, we will consider
applications for fifteen (15) positions, which include:
<bullet> Three positions as a member representing State officials
responsible for State boating safety programs.
<bullet> Six positions as a member representing recreational vessel
and associated equipment manufacturers.
<bullet> Six positions as a member representing the general public
or national recreational boating organizations, two of which will
represent the general public.
With the exception of the two general public positions, these
positions will be appointed as representatives 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 selected as a member drawn from the general public, you
will be appointed and serve as a Special Government Employee as defined
in 18 U.S.C. 202(a). Applicants for appointment as a Special Government
Employee are required to complete a Confidential Financial Disclosure
Report (OGE Form 450) for new entrants and if appointed as a member
must submit an OGE Form 450 annually. The U.S. Coast Guard may not
release the reports or the information in them to the public except
under an order issued by a Federal court or as otherwise provided under
the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a). Only the Designated U.S. Coast Guard
Ethics Official or his or her designee may release a Confidential
Financial Disclosure Report. Applicants can obtain this form by going
to the website of the Office of Government Ethics (<a href="http://www.oge.gov">www.oge.gov</a>) or by
contacting the individual listed above in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
Registered lobbyists are not eligible to serve on the Committee's
subcommittees. This is consistent with DHS Instruction 093-01-001. If
at any time after an individual begins service on a subcommittee and
registers as federal lobbyist with the Secretary of the U.S. Senate or
with the Clerk of the House Representatives, they must immediately
inform the Designated Federal Officer (DFO). Members who register as a
lobbyist while serving on a subcommittee will be removed.
