The Commercial Fishing Safety
Advisory Committee meets at least once
a year. It may also meet for other
extraordinary purposes. Its
subcommittees or working groups may
communicate throughout the year to
prepare for meetings or develop
proposals for the committee as a whole
to address specific tasks.
Each member serves for a term of
three years. An individual may be
appointed to a term as a member more
than once, but not more than two terms
consecutively. All members serve at
their own expense and receive no salary
from the Federal Government, although
travel reimbursement and per diem may
be provided for called meetings.
The Coast Guard will consider

expire or become vacant in May 2017 in
the following categories:

Commercial Fishing Industry (two
positions);

education or training professionals

vessel, or fish tender vessel safety, or

designee may release a Confidential
Financial Disclosure Report. Applicants
can obtain this form by going to the Web
site of the Office of Government Ethics
