SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

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. 

We will consider applications for six

in October 2009 in the following 

categories: (a) Commercial Fishing 

Industry (four positions); (b) Naval

United States Code applies, or as a crew 

member or processing line member on 

an uninspected fish processing vessel;

applies and persons representing the 

marine insurance industry. 

Each member serves for a term of 3 

years. Members may serve two 

consecutive terms. All members serve at 

their own expense and receive no salary 

from the Federal Government, although 

travel reimbursement and per diem may 

be provided.

Guard on gender and ethic diversity, we
