SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CFIVSAC is a Federal advisory committee
under 5 U.S.C. App. (Pub. L. 92-463). The Coast Guard chartered the
CFIVSAC to provide advice on issues related to the safety of commercial
fishing industry 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.)
The CFIVSAC meets at least once a year. It may also meet for other
extraordinary purposes. Its subcommittees may gather throughout the
year to prepare for meetings or develop proposals for the committee as
a whole to address specific problems.
The Coast Guard will consider applications for five positions that
expire or become vacant in October 2010 in the following categories:
(a) Commercial Fishing Industry (two positions); (b) Education or
Training Professionals related to fishing vessels or personnel
qualifications (one position); (c) Underwriters that insure fishing
vessels (one position); and (d) General Public (one position).
The 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 each of (1) naval
architects or marine surveyors; (2) manufacturers of equipment for
vessels to which Chapter 45 of Title 46, U.S.C. applies; (3) education
or training professionals related to fishing vessels, fish processing
vessels, fish tender vessel safety, or personnel qualifications; and
(4) underwriters that insure vessels to which Chapter 45 of Title 46,
U.S.C. applies; and (c) 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 owners of vessels to which Chapter 45 of Title 46,
U.S.C. applies and persons representing the marine insurance industry.
Each member serves for a term of three years. An individual may be
appointed to a term as a member more than once. All members serve at
their own expense and receive no salary from the Federal Government,
although travel reimbursement and per diem may be provided.
In support of the Coast Guard policy on gender and ethic
nondiscrimination, we encourage qualified men and women and members of
all racial and ethnic groups to apply. The Coast Guard values
diversity; all the different characteristics and attributes of persons
that enhance the mission of the Coast Guard.
If you are selected as a ``non-representative'' member, or as a
member who represents the general public, you will be appointed and
serve as a Special Government Employee (SGE) as defined in section
202(a) of Title 18, United States Code. As a candidate for appointment
as a SGE, applicants are required to complete a Confidential Financial
Disclosure Report (OGE Form 450). A completed OGE Form 450 is not
releasable to the public except under an order issued by a Federal
court or as otherwise provided under the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a).
Only the Designated Agency Ethics Official (DAEO) or the DAEO's
designate may release a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report.
