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 46 U.S.C. 4508.)
CFIVSAC consists of 17 members as follows: (a) 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; (b)
one member representing naval architects or marine surveyors; (c) one
member representing manufacturers of vessel equipment to which Chapter
45 applies; (d) one member representing education or training
professionals related to fishing vessel, fish processing vessels, or
fish tender vessel safety, or personnel qualifications; (e) one member
representing underwriters that insure vessels to which Chapter 45
applies; (f) 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 generally meets once a year. It may also meet for
extraordinary purposes. Its subcommittees and working groups may meet
inter-sessionally to prepare for meetings or develop proposals for the
committee as a whole to address specific problems.
We will consider applications for six positions that expire or
become vacant in October 2005 in the following categories: (a)
Commercial Fishing Industry (four positions); (b) Equipment
Manufacturer (one position); (c) General Public (one position).
Each member serves a 3-year term. 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.
