SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 20, 2024, the Coast Guard 
published a request in the Federal Register (89 FR 12853) soliciting 
applications for membership in the National Offshore Safety Advisory 
Committee. The U.S. Coast Guard is re-soliciting applications from 
persons interested in membership on the National Offshore Safety 
Advisory Committee to represent entities engaged in offshore oil 
exploration and production on the Outer Continental Shelf adjacent to 
Alaska. Applicants who responded to the previous notices do not need to 
reapply.
    The National Offshore Safety Advisory Committee is a Federal 
advisory committee. The Committee operates under the provisions of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. ch. 10 and 46 U.S.C. 15109. 
The Committee was established on December 4, 2018, by sec. 601 of the 
Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018, Public Law 115-
282, 132 Stat. 4192 and amended by sec. 8331 of the Elijah E. Cummings 
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2020, Public Law 116-283, and is 
codified in 46 U.S.C. 15106.
    The Committee will advise the Secretary of Homeland Security on 
matters relating to activities directly involved with, or in support 
of, the exploration of offshore mineral and energy resources, to the 
extent that such matters are within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Coast 
Guard.
    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.
    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 re-solicitation for Committee member, we will consider 
applications for one position representing entities engaged in offshore 
oil exploration and production on the Outer Continental Shelf adjacent 
to Alaska. The member who fills the position will be appointed to 
represent the interest as described above.
    If you are appointed as a member of the Committee, you will be 
required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement and a Gratuitous Service 
Agreement.
    In order for the Department, to fully leverage broad-ranging 
experience and education, the National Offshore 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 interested in applying to become a member of the 
Committee, email your complete application to [email protected] as 
provided in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
    The U.S. Coast Guard will not consider incomplete or late 
applications.
