The Committee discusses, researches, and makes sound recommendations on a wide range of topics which affect safe navigation in the area. All Committee and working group members volunteer at their own expense. The Committee meets approximately three times a year at various locations throughout the Houston, Galveston and Texas City area. Whenever needed, a working group is formed to gather information and develop recommendations on specific issues for consideration and action by the full Committee. Working group meetings are held approximately two to three weeks before Committee meetings.
All meetings are open to the public.
Meeting notices are published in the Federal Register approximately six weeks before the Committee meeting.
