SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Maritime Security Advisory 

Committee (NMSAC) is an advisory 

committee established in accordance 

with the provisions of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act 5 U.S.C. App. 

2. Section 70112 to Title 46 of the U.S. 

Code requires the Secretary of the 

Department in which the Coast Guard is 

operating to establish a NMSAC. The 

NMSAC advises, consults with, reports 

to, and makes recommendations to the 

Secretary on matters relating to national 

maritime security. Such matters may 

include, but are not be limited to: 

• Developing a national strategy and 

policy to provide for efficient, 

coordinated and effective action to deter 

and minimize damage from maritime 

transportation security incidents; 

• Recommending actions required to 

meet current and future security threats 

to ports, vessels, facilities, waterways 

and their associated inter-modal 

transportation connections and critical 

infrastructure; 

• Promoting international 

cooperation and multilateral solutions 

to maritime security issues; 

• Addressing security issues and 

concerns brought to the Committee by 

segments of the marine transportation 

industry, or other port and waterway 

stakeholders; and, 

• Examining such other matters, 

related to those above, that the Secretary 

may charge the Committee with 

addressing. 

NMSAC members’ terms of office will 

be for 5 years. For this solicitation terms 

will commence on January 1, 2008 and 

end December 31, 2010. While 46 U.S.C. 

70112 states the NMSAC terminates on 

September 30, 2008, appointments will 

be made in anticipation of an extension 

of this statutory authority. Current 

members are eligible to serve an 

additional term of office but must reapply in accordance with this notice. 

Full NMSAC (in-person) meetings are 

normally conducted two to three times 

per fiscal year. Working group meetings

committee business, members will be 

reimbursed for travel and per diem 

expenses as permitted under applicable 

Federal travel regulations. However, 

members will not receive any salary or 

other compensation for their service on 

the NMSAC. Due to the nature of 

NMSAC business, NMSAC members are 

required to apply for, obtain and 

maintain a government national security 

clearance at the Secret level. The Coast 

Guard will sponsor and assist 

candidates with this process.
