The National Merchant Marine 

Personnel Advisory Committee is a 

Federal advisory committee. It will 

operate under the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 

U.S.C. Appendix, and the 

administrative provisions in Section 601 

of the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard 

Authorization Act of 2018 (specifically, 

46 U.S.C. 15109). 

The Committee was established on 

December 4, 2019, by the Frank 

LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization 

Act of 2018, which added section 

15103, National Merchant Marine 

Personnel Advisory Committee, to Title 

46 of the U.S. Code. The Committee will 

advise the Secretary of Homeland 

Security on matters relating to 

personnel in the United States merchant 

marine, including the training, 

qualifications, certification, 

documentation, and fitness of mariners. 

The Committee is required to meet at 

least once a year in accordance with 46 

U.S.C. 15109(a). We expect the 

Committee to meet at least twice a year, 

but it may meet more frequently. The 

meetings are generally held in cities that 

have high concentrations of maritime 

personnel and related marine industry 

businesses. 

All members serve at their own 

expense and receive no salary or other 

compensation from the Federal 

Government. Members may be 

reimbursed, however only for travel and 

per diem in accordance with the Federal 

Travel Regulations. 

Under the provisions in 46 U.S.C. 

15109(f)(6), if you are appointed as a 

member of the Committee, your 

membership term will expire on 

December 31 of the third full year after 

the effective date of your appointment. 

The Secretary may require an individual 

to have passed an appropriate security 

background examination before 

appointment to the Committee, 46 

U.S.C. 15109(f)(4). 

In this solicitation for a Committee 

member, we will consider applications 

for the following position: 

• United States’ citizens holding 

active licenses or certificates issued 

under 46 U.S.C. chapter 71 or merchant 

mariner documents issued under 46 

U.S.C. chapter 73, including two 

credentialed with ratings: one that must 

be endorsed as a qualified member of 

the engine department. 

The Department of Homeland 

Security does not discriminate in 

selection of Committee members based 

on race, color, religion, sex, national 

origin, political affiliation, sexual 

orientation, gender identity, marital 

status, disabilities and genetic 

information, age, membership in an 

employee organization, or any other 

non-merit factor. The Department of 

Homeland Security strives to achieve a 

widely diverse candidate pool for all of 

its recruitment selections. 

If you are interested in applying to 

become a member of the Committee, 

send your cover letter and resume to 

Megan Johns Henry, Alternate 

Designated Federal Officer of the 

National Merchant Marine Personnel 

Advisory Committee via one of the 

transmittal methods in the ADDRESSES
