Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard,
on matters relating to personnel in the
United States merchant marine,
including the training, qualifications,
certification, documentation, and fitness
of mariners.
The Committee is required to meet at
least once a year in accordance with 46
U.S.C. 15109(a). We expect the
Committee will hold meetings at least
twice a year. The meetings are held at
a location selected by the U.S. Coast
Guard.
All members serve at their own
expense and receive no salary or other
compensation from the Federal
Government. Members may be
reimbursed for travel and per diem in
accordance with Federal Travel
Regulations.
Under provisions in 46 U.S.C.
15109(f)(6), if you are appointed as a
member of the Committee, your
membership term will expire on
December 31st of the third full year after
the effective date of your appointment.
Members serve at the pleasure of the
Secretary of Homeland Security and
maybe be removed prior to the end of
their term for just cause. The Secretary
of Homeland Security may require an
individual to have passed an
appropriate security background
examination before appointment to the
Committee, 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(4).
Committee members are required to
attend and participate in meetings
regularly. Members may be
recommended for removal if they miss
two consecutive meetings without a
valid reason that is acceptable to the
Chair of the Committee and the
Designated Federal Officer.
In this solicitation for Committee
members, we will consider applications
for the position of engineering officer
who represents merchant marine
engineering officers. Applicants must be
United States citizens holding active
licenses or certificates issued under 46
U.S.C. chapter 71, as an engineering
officer licensed as a chief engineer any
horsepower (applicants must currently
hold a Merchant Mariner Credential
endorsed as Chief Engineer of unlimited
horsepower).
Each member of the Committee serves
as a representative and must have
particular expertise, knowledge, and
experience on matters related to
personnel in the United States merchant
marine, including the training,
qualifications, certification,
documentation, and fitness of mariners.
In order for the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), to fully
leverage broad-ranging experience and
education, the Committee must be
diverse with regard to professional and
technical expertise. DHS is committed
to pursuing opportunities, consistent
with applicable law, to compose a
committee that reflects the diversity of
the nation’s people.
If you are interested in applying to
become a member of the Committee,
email your application to
megan.c.johns@uscg.mil provided in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice.
Applications must include: (1) a cover
letter expressing interest in an

Marine Personnel Advisory Committee;

relevant experience; and (3) a brief

specified types of entries, which are
limited for purposes of this test to
certain commodities and countries of
origin. Test participants may also,

the underlying data associated with the
GBIs (referred to as the ‘‘GBI data’’), to
determine whether the submission of
GBIs at the time of entry filing will
enable the enhanced tracing of the
supply chains of certain commodities.
