DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management 

[MMAA104000] 

Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), 

Scientific Committee 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management (BOEM), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Vacancies and Request 

for Nominations. 

SUMMARY: BOEM is seeking interested 

and qualified individuals to serve on its 

OCS Scientific Committee (Committee) 

during the period of October 15, 2014, 

through October 14, 2017. The initial 3- 

year term may be renewable for up to an 

additional 3 years. The Committee is 

chartered under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA) to advise the 

Secretary of the Interior, through the 

Director of BOEM, on the scientific 

quality and value for decisionmaking of 

the OCS Environmental Studies 

Program (ESP). The ESP, which was 

authorized by the Outer Continental 

Shelf Land Act as amended (Section 20), 

is administered by BOEM and covers a 

wide range of field and laboratory 

studies in biology, chemistry, and 

physical oceanography, as well as 

studies of the social and economic 

impacts of OCS energy and marine 

minerals development. 

As a FACA committee, the Committee 

provides advice from vetted, consensusoriented, experts that are more focused 

and technically deeper than public 

hearings typically can provide. The 

recognized expertise and diverse 

associations of the Committee members 

also help BOEM build partnerships and 

optimize resources. 

The OCS Scientific Committee 

comprises distinguished scientists in 

appropriate disciplines of the biological, 

physical, chemical and social sciences. 

We will have 15 positions to fill on the 

Committee by October 14, 2014. These 

positions exist in the fields of 

economics, physical oceanography, and 

biological oceanography/marine 

biology. We are interested in scientists 

who have experience in those 

disciplines, and we also look for 

geographical balance, drawing members 

from the contiguous United States, 

Alaska, and Hawaii. 

The selections are based on 

maintaining disciplinary expertise in all 

areas of research, as well as geographic 

balance. Demonstrated knowledge of the 

scientific issues related to OCS energy 

and mineral development is essential. 

Selections are made by the Secretary of 

the Interior on the basis of these factors. 

Ethics Responsibilities of Members: 

All members will comply with 

applicable rules and regulations. The 

Department of the Interior will provide 

materials to those members appointed 

as Special Government Employees 

explaining their ethical obligations with 

which the members should be familiar. 

Consistent with the ethics requirements, 

members will endeavor to avoid any 

actions that would cause the public to 

question the integrity of the 

Committee’s operations, activities or 

advice. The provisions of this paragraph 

do not affect any other statutory or 

regulatory ethical obligations to which a 

member may be subject. 

Interested individuals should send a 

letter of interest and resume within 30 

days to: Ms. Phyllis Clark, Bureau of 

Ocean Energy Management, Division of 

Environmental Studies, 381 Elden 

Street, Mail Stop HM–3115, Herndon, 

Virginia 20170. She may be reached by
