SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 20, 2024, the Coast Guard
published a request in the Federal Register (89 FR 12853) soliciting
applications for membership in the National Offshore Safety Advisory
Committee. The U.S. Coast Guard is re-soliciting applications from
persons interested in membership on the National Offshore Safety
Advisory Committee to represent entities engaged in offshore oil
exploration and production on the Outer Continental Shelf adjacent to
Alaska. Applicants who responded to the previous notices do not need to
reapply.
The National Offshore Safety Advisory Committee is a Federal
advisory committee. 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 was established on December 4, 2018, by sec. 601 of the
Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018, Public Law 115-
282, 132 Stat. 4192 and amended by sec. 8331 of the Elijah E. Cummings
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2020, Public Law 116-283, and is
codified in 46 U.S.C. 15106.
The Committee will advise 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 cities that have high concentrations of maritime
personnel and related marine industry businesses.
All members serve at their own expense and receive no salary or
other compensation from the Federal Government.
Under the 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 31 of the third full year after the effective date of your
appointment. The Secretary 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 re-solicitation for Committee member, we will consider
applications for one position representing entities engaged in offshore
oil exploration and production on the Outer Continental Shelf adjacent
to Alaska. The member who fills the position will be appointed to
represent the interest as described above.
If you are appointed as a member of the Committee, you will be
required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement and a Gratuitous Service
Agreement.
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 complete application to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#703a050304191e5e205e371f161630050313175e1d191c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d59fa0a6a1bcbbfb85fb92bab3b395a0a6b6b2fbb8bcb9">[email protected]</span></a> as
provided in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
The U.S. Coast Guard will not consider incomplete or late
applications.
