Federal Officer of the National Boating Safety Advisory Committee;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Boating Safety Advisory 
Committee is a Federal advisory committee. The Committee was 
established on December 4, 2018, by section 601 of the Frank LoBiondo 
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018, Public Law No 115-282, 132 Stat. 
4192 (codified, at 46 U.S.C. 15105). The Committee operates under the 
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, (5 U.S.C. appendix), 
and 46 U.S.C. 15109. The National Boating Safety Advisory Committee 
provides advice, consults with, and make recommendations to the 
Secretary of Homeland Security, via the Commandant of the U.S. Coast 
Guard, on matters relating to national recreational boating safety.
    The Committee is required to meet at least once a year in 
accordance with 46 U.S.C. 15109(a). We expect the Committee will hold 
meetings at least twice a year, but it may meet more frequently.
    All members serve at their own expense and receive no salary or 
other compensation from the Federal Government. Members may be 
reimbursed for travel and per diem in accordance with Federal Travel 
Regulations.

    As required by 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(6), if you are appointed as a 
member of the Committee, your membership term will expire on December 
31st of the third full year after the effective date of your 
appointment. Members serve at the pleasure of the Secretary of Homeland 
Security and may be removed prior to the end of their term for just 
cause. In this solicitation for Committee members, we will consider 
applications for two (2) positions:
     State official responsible for State boating safety 
programs.
    Each member of the Committee serves as a representative and must 
have particular expertise, knowledge, and experience in matters 
relating to the function of the Committee, which is to advise the 
Secretary of Homeland Security on the matters described above.
    In order for the Department, to fully leverage broad-ranging 
experience and education, the National Boating 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 application to [email protected] as provided in the 
ADDRESS section of this notice. Applications must include: (1) a cover 
letter expressing interest in an appointment to the National Boating 
Safety Advisory Committee; (2) a resume detailing the applicant's 
relevant experience and (3) a brief biography of the applicant. The 
U.S. Coast Guard will not consider incomplete or late applications.
