SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Maritime Security Advisory 
Committee is a Federal advisory committee. The Committee was 
established on December 4, 2018, by Sec.  602 of the Frank LoBiondo 
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018, Public Law 115-282, 132 Stat. 
4192, and is codified in 46 U.S.C. 70112. 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 Maritime Security Advisory 
Committee provides advice, consults with, and makes recommendations to 
the Secretary of Homeland Security, via the Commandant of the Coast 
Guard, on matters relating to national maritime security, including on 
enhancing the sharing of information related to cybersecurity risks 
that may cause a transportation security incident, between relevant 
Federal agencies and--
    A. State, local, and tribal governments;
    B. relevant public safety and emergency response agencies;
    C. relevant law enforcement and security organizations;
    D. maritime industry;
    E. port owners and operators; and
    F. terminal owners and operators.
    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.
    Under the provisions in 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(6), if you are appointed 
as a member of the Committee, your membership term will expire on 
December 31 of the third full year after the effective date of your 
appointment. In this solicitation for Committee members, we will 
consider applications for two (2) positions:
     Facilities owners and operators.
     State and local governments.
    Each member of the Committee 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.
    Consistent with 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(4), Committee members are 
required to apply for, obtain, and maintain a government national 
security clearance at the Secret level. The U.S. Coast Guard will 
sponsor and assist candidates with this process.
    In order for the Department, to fully leverage broad-ranging 
experience and education, the National Maritime Security 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 cover letter and resume along with the brief 
biography to [email protected] via the transmittal method in the 
ADDRESSES section by the deadline in the DATES section of this notice.
