(RGE), members shall serve in a 

Representative capacity; they are, 

therefore, not Special Government 

Employees. As such, Representative 

members are not subject to the ethics 

rules applicable to Government 

employees, except that they must not 

misuse Government resources or their 

affiliation with the Committee for 

personal purposes. All members of the 

OAAB will be appointed by the CoChairs of the SOST for a five-year term 

per the statute’s requirement; members 

may not serve on the OAAB for more 

than two terms, which may or may not 

be consecutive. OAAB members serve at 

the SOST Co-Chairs’ discretion. The 

SOST Co-Chairs will appoint one 

member to serve as the Chair and will 

determine the term of service for the 

Chair, which shall not exceed the 

member’s appointed term of service. 

The OAAB will meet at least once per 

calendar year, with a preference for 

virtual meetings, at such times and 

places as may be designated by the 

OAAB Chair in consultation with the 

SOST Co-Chairs and IWG–OA Chair. If 

meetings are held in person, members, 

upon request, will be reimbursed for 

actual and reasonable travel and other 

per diem expenses incurred in 

performing such duties as authorized by 

5 U.S.C. 5701 et seq. but will not be 

compensated for their time. As a Federal 

advisory committee, the OAAB’s 

membership is required to be balanced 

in terms of viewpoints represented and 

the functions to be performed. 

Appointments shall be made without 

discrimination on the basis of age, race, 

ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, 

disability, or cultural, religious, or 

socioeconomic status. The SOST CoChairs shall ensure that an appropriate 

balance of scientific, industry, Tribal, 

State, and local resource managers, and 

geographical interests are represented 

by the members of the OAAB. 

III. Nominations 

Interested persons may nominate 

themselves or third parties. An 

application is required to be considered 

for OAAB membership, regardless of 

whether a person is nominated by a 

third party or self-nominated. The 

application package should include the 

individual’s name and organizational 

affiliation, a brief description of the 

nominee’s qualifications and interest in 

serving on the OAAB, which seat(s) they 

are qualified to represent from the list

period at 3:15 p.m. EST. The ORAP 

expects that public statements presented

previously submitted verbal or written

or group making a verbal presentation 

will be limited to a total time of three 

minutes. Written comments for the 

December 3–4, 2024 meeting should be 

received by November 20, 2024 by the

Partnership Program) on the topic of 

emerging technology (which could

Learning, eDNA, and similar 

technology) with ocean industry and 

other sectors over the next 5–10 years. 

The OPC also requested that ORAP selfselect another topic to address. The 

ORAP members agreed that the topic of 

accessible, inter-operable, 

interdisciplinary, and trusted ocean data 

to meet research and user needs is 

critical and deserves ORAP immediate 

attention. At this meeting on December 

3–4, 2024, ORAP members will examine 

barriers, challenges, and potential 

mechanisms that expand opportunities 

for public-private partnerships by 

engaging external input from
