SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
17, 2020, the Coast Guard published a
request in the Federal Register (85 FR
15211) for applications for membership
in the National Offshore Safety
Advisory Committee. The Coast Guard
is re-soliciting applications from
persons interested in membership on
the National Offshore Safety Advisory
Committee to represent the viewpoint of
individuals employed in offshore
operations. Applicants who responded
to the previous notices do not need to
reapply.
The National Offshore Safety
Advisory Committee is a Federal
advisory committee. It will operate
under the provisions of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C.
Appendix), and the administrative
provisions in § 601 of the Frank
LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization
Act of 2018 (specifically, 46 U.S.C.
15109).
The Committee was established on
December 4, 2018, by § 601 of the Frank
LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization
Act of 2018, Public Law 115–282, 132
Stat. 4192 and amended by § 8331 of the
Elijah E. Cummings Coast Guard
Authorization Act of 2020, Public Law
116–283. That authority is codified in
46 U.S.C. 15106. The Committee will
advise the Secretary of Homeland
Security on matters relating to activities
directly involved with, or in support of,
the exploration of offshore mineral and
energy resources, to the extent that such
matters are within the jurisdiction of the
Coast Guard.
The Committee is required to meet at
least once a year in accordance with 46
U.S.C. 15109(a). We expect the
Committee to meet at least twice a year,
but it may meet more frequently. The
meetings are generally held in cities that
have high concentrations of maritime
personnel and related marine industry
businesses.
All members serve at their own
expense and receive no salary or other
compensation from the Federal
Government.
Under the provisions in 46 U.S.C.
15109(f)(6), if you are appointed as a

The Secretary may require an individual

background examination before

U.S.C. 15109(f)(4).
While there are two positions on the
advisory committee representing the
viewpoints of individuals employed in
offshore operations, there is currently
only one vacancy.
The Department of Homeland
Security does not discriminate in
selection of Committee members based
on race, color, religion, sex, national
origin, political affiliation, sexual
orientation, gender identity, marital
status, disabilities and genetic
information, age, membership in an
employee organization, or any other
non-merit factor. The Department of
Homeland Security strives to achieve a
widely diverse candidate pool for all of
its recruitment selections.
If you are interested in applying to
become a member of the Committee,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After
publication of NVIC 21–14, COMDTPUB
16721, in 2014, the Coast Guard became
aware of the need to address the
question of whether sea service acquired
on military and government owned or
operated vessels should be allowed to
be used to qualify for a STCW
endorsement as VSOs. This change
notice revises NVIC 21–14 to indicate
that the Coast Guard has determined
that sea service accrued aboard certain
military and government owned or
operated vessels may be credited toward
the sea service requirements in 33 CFR
104.215(d)(1)(v)(A) and 33 CFR
104.215(d)(1)(v)(B).
Section 33 CFR 104.215(d)(1)(v)(A)
requires 12 months of sea service on a
vessel subject to 33 CFR 104.105 to
qualify for a STCW endorsement as
VSO. Section 33 CFR 104.215(d)(1)(v)(B)
requires 6 months of sea service on a
vessel subject to 33 CFR 104.105, and
satisfaction of a knowledge requirement
to qualify for an STCW endorsement as
VSO.
The Coast Guard determined that
service onboard government owned or
operated vessels, such as Military Sealift
Command vessels (designated USNS),
USACE vessels, and NOAA vessels, of at
least 100 gross register tons (GRT) will
be creditable toward both 33 CFR
104.215(d)(1)(v)(A) and 33 CFR
104.215(d)(1)(v)(B). The Coast Guard
will credit sea service earned on these
vessels toward the full sea service
requirements because they are operated
similarly to a merchant vessel.
The Coast Guard also determined that
up to 5 months of service on military
vessels will be accepted towards the 6
month minimum sea service
requirement in 33 CFR
104.215(d)(1)(v)(B). The remaining
month could be accrued on vessels
subject to 33 CFR 104.105 or the
government owned or operated vessels
of at least 100 GRT listed above.

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The regulations at 46 CFR
10.232(d)(1) allow the use of military
service towards credentials when the
Coast Guard determines it is equivalent
to sea service acquired on merchant
vessels. The purpose of the sea service
requirements for a STCW endorsement
as VSO is to ensure that the mariner is
familiar with general merchant vessel
operations. The Coast Guard has
determined that the mariner can
demonstrate the necessary merchant
vessel operational experience with a
combination of military sea service, a
minimum of 30 days sea service on
government owned or operated vessels
or any vessel subject to 33 CFR 104.105,
and by satisfying the knowledge
requirements in 33 CFR 104.215. The
policy uses a minimum tonnage of 100
gross register tons to be consistent with
requirements for merchant mariners.
In addition, this policy supports the
intent of 10 U.S.C. 2015 and Executive
Order 13860 of March 4, 2019, titled
‘‘Supporting the Transition of Active
Duty Service Members and Military
Veterans Into the Merchant Marine,’’ by
supporting practices that ensure that
members of the United States Armed
Forces receive appropriate credit for
their military training and experience
toward merchant mariner credentialing
requirements.
As part of this change to NVIC 21–14,
the Coast Guard makes some other
minor changes to provide clarity. First,
we note in the list of requirements to
qualify for a VSO endorsement, the
mariner must meet the physical
examination requirements in 46 CFR
part 10, subpart C. This requirement
already exists and applies to this
endorsement per 46 CFR 11.337(b). We
are adding it to the NVIC so that it is
more clear that the physical
examination requirements are also a
requirement, in addition to what is
listed in 33 CFR 104.215(d). Second, we
add a statement that the evidence of
knowledge of vessel operations obtained
through training or equivalent job
experience required for 33 CFR
104.215(d)(3) may be documented on
agency, company, or vessel letterhead.
This new instruction describes a
method the mariner can use to provide
evidence of training and job experience
to the Coast Guard in their VSO
endorsement application.
This notice is issued under authority
of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
Dated: October 29, 2021.

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant
Commandant for Prevention Policy.
