SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The National Boating Safety Advisory Council (``NBSAC'') is a
Federal advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App. (Pub. L. 92-463). It was
established under authority of 46 U.S.C. 13110 and advises the Coast
Guard on boating safety regulations and other major boating safety
matters. NBSAC has 21 members: Seven representatives of State officials
responsible for State boating safety programs, seven representatives of
recreational boat manufacturers and associated equipment manufacturers,
and seven representatives of national recreational boating
organizations and the general public. Members are appointed by the
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
The Council meets at least twice each year at a location selected
by the Coast Guard. It may also meet for extraordinary purposes.
Subcommittees or working groups may also meet to consider specific
problems.
We will consider applications for seven positions that expire or
become vacant on December 31, 2010:
Two representatives of State officials responsible for
State boating safety programs;
Three representatives of recreational boat and associated
equipment manufacturers; and
Two representatives of the general public or national
recreational boating organizations.
Applicants are considered for membership on the basis of their
particular expertise, knowledge, and experience in recreational boating
safety. Applicants for the 2010 vacancies announced in the Federal
