SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commercial Fishing Safety Advisory 
Committee is a federal advisory committee which operates under the 
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, (Title 5, U.S.C. 
Appendix 2). The U.S. Coast Guard chartered the Commercial Fishing 
Safety Advisory Committee to provide advice on issues related to the 
safety of commercial fishing industry vessels regulated under Chapter 
45 of title 46, United States Code, which includes uninspected fish 
catching vessels, fish processing vessels, and fish tender vessels. 
(See Title 46 U.S.C. 15102)
    The Commercial Fishing Safety Advisory Committee meets at least 
once a year. It may also meet for other extraordinary purposes. Its 
subcommittees or working groups may communicate throughout the year to 
prepare for meetings or develop proposals for the committee as a whole 
or to address specific tasks.
    Each member serves for a term of three years. An individual may be 
appointed to a term as a member more 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 Government, although 
travel reimbursement and per diem may be provided for called meetings.
    The U.S. Coast Guard will consider applications for seven positions 
that will be vacant on June 2019 in the following categories:
    (a) Individuals who represent the Commercial Fishing Industry(five 
Positions);
    (b) Naval Architect/Marine Engineer (one position);
    (c) An individual who represents the general public, a person 
familiar with issues affecting fishing communities and families of 
fishermen (one position).
    If you are selected as a member from the general public (c above), 
you will be appointed and serve as a Special Government Employee as 
defined in Section 202(a) of Title 18, U.S.C. Applicants for 
appointment as a Special Government Employee are required to complete a 
New Entrant Confidential Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form 450) 
prior to appointment and each year they serve thereafter. The U.S. 
Coast Guard may not release the reports or the information in them 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). Only the 
Designated U.S. Coast Guard Ethics Official or his or her designee may 
release a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report. Applicants can 
obtain this form by going to the website of the Office of Government 
Ethics (www.oge.gov), or by contacting the individual listed in FOR

    Registered lobbyists are not eligible to serve on federal advisory 
committees in an individual capacity. See ``Revised Guidance on 
Appointment of Lobbyist to Federal Advisory Committees, Boards, and 
Commissions'' (79 CFR 47482, August 13, 2014). Registered lobbyists are 
lobbyists as defined in Title 2, U.S.C. 1602 who are required by Title 
2 U.S.C. 1603 to register with the Secretary of the Senate and the 
Clerk of the House of Representatives. The position we list for a 
member from the general public would be someone appointed in their 
individual capacity and would be designated as a Special Government 
Employee as defined in Section 202(a), Title 18, U.S.C.

selection of Committee members on the basis of race, color, religion, 
sex, national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender 
identity, marital status, disability and genetic information, age,
