U.S.C. App. 2. As required by the Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel 
Safety Act of 1988, the Coast Guard established CFIVAC to provide 
advice to the Coast Guard on issues related to the safety of commercial 
fishing vessels regulated under chapter 45 of Title 46, United States 
Code, which includes uninspected fishing vessels, fish processing 
vessels, and fish tender vessels. CFIVAC consists of 17 members as

a regional and representational balance and have experience in the 
operation of vessels to which chapter 45 of Title 46, United States 
Code applies, or as a crew member or processing line member on an 
uninspected fish processing vessel; one member representing naval 
architects or marine surveyors; one member representing manufacturers 
of equipment for vessels which chapter 45 applies; one member 
representing education or training professionals related to fishing 
vessel, fish processing vessels, or fish tender vessel safety, or 
personnel qualifications; one member representing underwriters that 
insure vessels to which chapter 45 applies; and three members 
representing the general public, including whenever possible, an 
independent expert or consultant in maritime safety and a member of a 
national organization composed of persons representing the marine 
insurance industry.
    CFIVAC meets at least once a year in different seaport cities 
nationwide. It may also meet for extraordinary purposes. Its 
subcommittees and working groups may meet to consider specific problems 
as required.
    We will consider applications for five positions that expire or 
become vacant in October 2001 in the following categories: (a) 
Commercial Fishing Industry (two positions); (b) Education/Training 
(one position); (c) Marine Insurance Underwriter (one position); (d) 
General Public (one position).
    Each member serves for a term of 3 years. A few members may serve 
consecutive terms. All members serve at their own expense and receive 
no salary from the Federal Government, although travel reimbursement 
and per diem are provided.
    In support of the policy of the Department of Transportation on 
gender and ethnic diversity, we encourage qualified women and members 
of minority groups to apply.
    If you are selected as a member who represents the general public, 
we will require you to complete a Confidential Financial Disclosure 
Report (OGE Form 450). We may not release the report or the information 
in it 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).

    Dated: February 15, 2001.
