Outer Continental Shelf (OCS),
Scientific Committee
Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM), Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Vacancies and Request
for Nominations.
AGENCY:
BOEM is seeking interested
and qualified individuals to serve on its
OCS Scientific Committee (Committee)
during the period of October 15, 2014,
through October 14, 2017. The initial 3year term may be renewable for up to an
additional 3 years. The Committee is
chartered under the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) to advise the
Secretary of the Interior, through the
Director of BOEM, on the scientific
quality and value for decisionmaking of
the OCS Environmental Studies
Program (ESP). The ESP, which was
authorized by the Outer Continental
Shelf Land Act as amended (Section 20),
is administered by BOEM and covers a
wide range of field and laboratory
studies in biology, chemistry, and
physical oceanography, as well as
studies of the social and economic
impacts of OCS energy and marine
minerals development.
As a FACA committee, the Committee
provides advice from vetted, consensusoriented, experts that are more focused
and technically deeper than public
hearings typically can provide. The
recognized expertise and diverse
associations of the Committee members
also help BOEM build partnerships and
optimize resources.
The OCS Scientific Committee
comprises distinguished scientists in
appropriate disciplines of the biological,
physical, chemical and social sciences.
We will have 15 positions to fill on the
Committee by October 14, 2014. These
positions exist in the fields of
economics, physical oceanography, and
biological oceanography/marine
biology. We are interested in scientists
who have experience in those
disciplines, and we also look for
geographical balance, drawing members
from the contiguous United States,
Alaska, and Hawaii.
The selections are based on
maintaining disciplinary expertise in all
areas of research, as well as geographic
balance. Demonstrated knowledge of the
scientific issues related to OCS energy
and mineral development is essential.
Selections are made by the Secretary of
the Interior on the basis of these factors.
