The Commercial Fishing Safety 

Advisory Committee meets at least once 

a year. It may also meet for other

subcommittees or working groups may 

communicate throughout the year to 

prepare for meetings or develop 

proposals for the committee as a whole

than once, but not more than two terms 

consecutively. All members serve at 

their own expense and receive no salary 

or other compensation from the Federal

reimbursement and per diem may be 

provided for called meetings. 

The U.S. Coast Guard will consider
