NBSAC has 21 members: Seven State officials responsible for State 
boating safety programs, seven recreational boat and associated

organizations and the general public. Members are appointed by the 
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
    NBSAC normally meets twice each year at a location selected by the

    We will consider applications received in response to this notice
