SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOSAC is a Federal advisory committee
established under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. (Pub. L. 92-463). It consists of 15 regular
members who have particular knowledge and experience regarding offshore
technology, equipment, safety and training, as well as environmental
expertise in the exploration or recovery of offshore mineral resources.
It provides advice and makes recommendations to the Assistant
Commandant for Prevention regarding safety, security and rulemaking
matters relating to the offshore mineral and energy industries. This
advice assists the Coast Guard in developing policy and regulations and
formulating the positions of the United States in advance of meetings
of the International Maritime Organization.
NOSAC meets approximately twice a year, with one of these meetings
being held at Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, DC. 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 five positions. These positions
will begin in January 2008. Applications should reach us by November
30, 2007, but we will consider applications received later if they
arrive within a reasonable time before we make our recommendations to
the Secretary of Homeland Security.
To be eligible, applicants should have experience in one of the
following categories: (1) Offshore drilling, (2) offshore supply vessel
services including geophysical services, (3) safety and training
relating to offshore activities, (4) offshore production or (5)
national environmental interests. Please state on the application form
which of the five categories you are applying for. Each member normally
serves a term of 3 years or until a replacement is appointed. A few
members may serve consecutive terms. All members serve at their own
expense and receive no salary, reimbursement of travel expenses, or
other compensation from the Federal Government.
In support of the policy of the Coast Guard on gender and ethnic
diversity, we encourage qualified women and members of minority groups
to apply.
Dated: September 11, 2007.
J.G. Lantz,
Director of National and International Standards, Assistant Commandant
for Prevention.
