SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel
Safety Advisory Committee (CFIVSAC) is a Federal advisory committee
under 5 U.S.C. App. 2. As required by the Commercial Fishing Industry
Vessel Safety Act of 1988, the Coast Guard established CFIVSAC to
provide advice to the Coast Guard on issues related to the safety of
commercial fishing vessels regulated under chapter 45 of Title 46,
United States Code, which includes uninspected fishing vessels, fish
processing vessels, and fish tender vessels. (See section 4508 of title
46 of the U.S. Code, 46 U.S.C. 4508).
CFIVSAC consists of 17 members as follows: Ten members from the
commercial fishing industry who reflect a regional and representational
balance and have experience in the operation of vessels to which
chapter 45 of Title 46, United States Code applies, or as a crew member
or processing line member on an uninspected fish processing vessel; one
member representing naval

architects or marine surveyors; one member representing manufacturers
of vessel equipment to which chapter 45 applies; one member
representing education or training professionals related to fishing
vessel, fish processing vessels, or fish tender vessel safety, or
personnel qualifications; one member representing underwriters that
insure vessels to which chapter 45 applies; and three members
representing the general public, including whenever possible, an
independent expert or consultant in maritime safety and a member of a
national organization composed of persons representing the marine
insurance industry.
CFIVSAC meets at least once a year in different seaport cities
nationwide. It may also meet for extraordinary purposes. Its
subcommittees and working groups may meet to consider specific problems
as required.
We will consider applications for six positions that expire or
become vacant in October 2003 in the following categories: (a)
Commercial Fishing Industry (four positions); (b) Naval Architect (one
position); (c) General Public (one position).
Each member serves a 3-year term. A few members may serve
consecutive terms. All members serve at their own expense and receive
no salary from the Federal Government, although travel reimbursement
and per diem are provided.
In support of the policy of the Department of Homeland Security on
gender and ethnic diversity, we encourage qualified women and members
of minority groups to apply.
If you are selected as a member representing the general public,
you are required to complete a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report
(OGE Form 450). We may not release the report or the information in it
to the public, except under an order issued by a Federal court or as
