SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Navigation Safety Advisory Council
(NAVSAC) is a Federal advisory
committee under 5 U.S.C. App. 1.
NAVSAC provides advice and makes
recommendations to the Secretary of
Homeland Security on a wide range of
issues related to the prevention of
collisions, rammings, and groundings.
This includes, but is not limited to:
Inland and International Rules of the
Road, navigation regulations and

information, diving safety, and aids to
navigation systems.

subcommittees and working groups may
meet to consider specific problems as

of the executive or legislative branch
who is retained, designated, appointed,
or employed to perform temporary
duties (either on a full-time or
intermittent basis) for not to exceed 130

consecutive days. The definition of SGE

miscellaneous positions, who are
deemed SGEs without regard to the
number of days of service. In general,
SGEs provide Federal advisory
committees with their own best
independent judgment based on their
individual expertise. (See 18 U.S.C.
202(a).)
A Representative Member is an
individual who is not a Federal
employee (or a Federal employee who is
attending in a personal capacity), who is
selected for membership on a Federal
advisory committee for the purpose of
obtaining the point of view or
perspective of an outside interest group
or stakeholder interest. While
representative members may have
expertise in a specific area, discipline,
or subject matter, they are not selected
solely on the basis of this expertise, but
rather are selected to represent the point
of view of a group or particular interest.
A representative member may represent
groups or organizations, such as
industry, labor, consumers or any other
recognizable group of persons having an
interest in matters before the committee.
We will consider applications for
seven positions that expire or become
vacant in November 2007. Applications
will be considered from persons
representing, insofar as practical, the
following groups: Two persons from
among recognized experts and leaders
in organizations having an active
interest in the Rules of the Road and
vessel and port safety; three persons
from among professional mariners,
recreational boaters and the recreational
boating industry; one person with an
interest in maritime law; and one person
who is a Federal or State official with
responsibility for vessel and port safety.
Organizations having an active
interest in the Rules of the Road and
vessel and port safety are considered to
include organizations representing
vessel owners and operators of vessels
operating on international waters and/or
the inland waters of the United States;
the Federal and State maritime
academies; maritime education and
training institutions teaching Rules of
the Road, navigation, and electronic
navigation; and organizations
established to facilitate vessel
movement and navigational safety.
Members from these organizations are
appointed to express the viewpoint of
the organizations listed above and are
SGEs as defined in section 202(a) of title
18, United States Code and will not be
appointed as Representative Members.
Professional mariners are considered
to include actively working or retired
mariners experienced in applying the
Inland and/or International Rules as
masters or licensed deck officers of

vessels operating on international
waters or the inland waters of the
United States, and federal or state
licensed pilots. Recreational boaters and
the recreational boating industry are
specifically identified groups that
members may represent. Members from
these groups are appointed to express
the viewpoint of the groups listed above
in which they serve or have served and
are not SGEs as defined in section
202(a) of title 18, United States Code
and will be appointed as Representative
Members.
Individuals with an interest in
maritime law are SGEs as defined in
section 202(a) of title 18, United States
Code and will not be appointed as
Representative Members. Individuals
who are Federal or State officials with
a responsibility for vessel and port
safety are not SGEs as defined in section
202(a) of title 18, United States Code
and will be appointed as Representative
Members.
All individuals meeting the above
requirements are invited to apply. 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 but
receive reimbursement for travel
expenses and per diem expenses from
the Federal Government.
In support of the policy of the Coast
Guard 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).
