SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Boating Safety Advisory 

Committee is a Federal advisory 

committee. The Committee was 

established by section 601 of the Frank 

LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization 

Act of 2018, (Pub. L. 115–282, 132 Stat. 

4192), and is codified in 46 U.S.C. 

15105. The Committee operates under 

the provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, (Pub. L. 117–286, 5 

U.S.C. ch. 10), and 46 U.S.C. 15109. The 

National Boating Safety Advisory 

Committee provides advice to, consults 

with, and makes recommendations to 

the Secretary of Homeland Security, via 

the Commandant of the U.S. Coast 

Guard, on matters relating to national 

recreational boating safety. 

The Committee is required to meet at 

least once a year in accordance with 46 

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

Committee will hold meetings at least 

twice a year, but it may meet more 

frequently. 

Under 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 31st of the third full year after 

the effective date of your appointment. 

Under provisions in 46 U.S.C. 

15109(f)(4) the Secretary of Homeland 

Security may require an individual to 

have passed an appropriate security 

background examination before 

appointment to the Committee. 

All members serve at their own 

expense and receive no salary or other 

compensation from the Federal 

Government. The only compensation 

the members may receive is for travel 

expenses, including per diem in lieu of 

subsistence, and actual reasonable 

expenses incurred in the performance of 

their direct duties for the Committee in 

accordance with Federal Travel 

Regulations. If you are appointed as a 

member of the Committee, you will be 

required to sign a Non-Disclosure 

Agreement and a Gratuitous Services 

Agreement. 

In this solicitation for Committee 

members, we will consider applications 

for fifteen (15) positions, which include: 

• Three positions as a member 

representing State officials responsible 

for State boating safety programs. 

• Six positions as a member 

representing recreational vessel and 

associated equipment manufacturers. 

• Six positions as a member 

representing the general public or 

national recreational boating 

organizations, two of which will 

represent the general public. 

With the exception of the two general 

public positions, these positions will be 

appointed as representatives to 

represent the positions described above 

and are not Special Government 

Employees as defined in 18 U.S.C. 

202(a). 

In order for the Department, to fully 

leverage broad-ranging experience and 

education, the National Boating Safety 

Advisory Committee must be diverse 

with regard to professional and 

technical expertise. The Department is 

committed to pursuing opportunities, 

consistent with applicable law, to 

compose a committee that reflects the 

diversity of the Nation’s people. 

If you are selected as a member drawn 

from the general public, you will be 

appointed and serve as a Special 

Government Employee as defined in 18 

U.S.C. 202(a). Applicants for 

appointment as a Special Government 

Employee are required to complete a 

Confidential Financial Disclosure 

Report (OGE Form 450) for new entrants 

and if appointed as a member must 

submit an OGE Form 450 annually. The 

U.S. Coast Guard may not release the 

reports or the information in them 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 U.S. Coast Guard 

Ethics Official or his or her designee 

may release a Confidential Financial 

Disclosure Report. Applicants can 

obtain this form by going to the website 

of the Office of Government Ethics 

(www.oge.gov) or by contacting the 

individual listed above in FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

Registered lobbyists are not eligible to 

serve on the Committee’s 

subcommittees. This is consistent with 

DHS Instruction 093–01–001. If at any 

time after an individual begins service 

on a subcommittee and registers as 

federal lobbyist with the Secretary of the 

U.S. Senate or with the Clerk of the 

House Representatives, they must 

immediately inform the Designated 

Federal Officer (DFO). Members who 

register as a lobbyist while serving on a 

subcommittee will be removed.
