Inland Waterways Users Board; Request for Nominations
AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, DOD.
ACTION: Notice of request for nominations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of the Army is publishing this notice to
request nominations to serve as representatives on the Inland Waterways
Users Board (``the Board''), sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. The Board provides independent advice and recommendations to
the Secretary of the Army and the Congress. The Secretary of the Army
recommends its 11 (eleven) representative organizations to the
Secretary of Defense for approval. This notice is to solicit
nominations for seven (7) appointments or more for terms that will
begin by January 31, 2024. For additional information about the Board,
please visit the committee's website at https://www.iwr.usace.army.mil/Missions/Navigation/Inland-Waterways-Users-Board/.
ADDRESSES: Institute for Water Resources, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
ATTN: Mr. Mark R. Pointon, Designated Federal Officer (DFO) for the
Inland Waterways Users Board, CEIWR-NDC, 7701 Telegraph Road, Casey
Building, Alexandria, Virginia 22315-3868; by telephone at 703-428-
6438; and by email at [email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alternatively, contact Mr. Steven D.
Riley, the Alternate Designated Federal Officer (ADFO), in writing at
the Institute for Water Resources, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, ATTN:
CEIWR-GW, 7701 Telegraph Road, Casey Building, Alexandria, VA 22315-
3868; by telephone at 703-659-3097; and by email at
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The selection, service, and appointment of
representative organizations to the Board are covered by provisions of
section 302 of Public Law 99-662. The substance of those provisions is
as follows:
a. Selection. Representative organizations are to be selected from
the spectrum of commercial carriers and shippers using the inland and
intracoastal waterways, to represent geographical regions, and to be
representative of waterborne commerce as determined by commodity ton-
miles and tonnage statistics.
b. Service. The Board is required to meet at least semi-annually to
develop and make recommendations to the Secretary of the Army on
waterways construction and major rehabilitation priorities and spending
levels for commercial navigation improvements and report its
recommendations annually to the Secretary and Congress.
c. Appointment. The operation of the Board and appointment of
representative organizations are subject to chapter 10, 5 U.S.C.
(commonly known as the Federal Advisory Committee Act) and departmental
implementing regulations. Individuals invited or appointed to serve on
the Board, or its subcommittees, must be U.S. citizens and are
appointed pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 2251(f)(2), the members of the Board
serve as representative members and shall be appointed pursuant to 41
CFR 102-3.130(a), and in accordance with DoD policy and procedures.
Representative organizations serve without compensation but their
expenses due to Board activities are reimbursable. The considerations
specified in section 302 for the selection of representative
organizations to the Board, and certain terms used therein, have been
interpreted, supplemented, or otherwise clarified as follows:
(1) Carriers and Shippers. The law uses the terms ``primary users
and shippers.'' Primary users have been interpreted to mean the
providers of transportation services on inland waterways such as barge
or towboat operators. Shippers have been interpreted to mean the
purchasers of such services for the movement of commodities they own or
control. Representative companies are appointed to the Board, and they
must be either a carrier or shipper or both. For that purpose a trade
or regional association is neither a shipper nor primary user.
(2) Geographical Representation. The law specifies ``various''
regions. For the purposes of the Board, the waterways subjected to fuel
taxes and described in Public Law 95-502, as amended, have been
aggregated into six regions. They are (1) the Upper Mississippi River
and its tributaries above the mouth of the Ohio; (2) the Lower
Mississippi River
[[Page 30954]]
and its tributaries below the mouth of the Ohio and above Baton Rouge;
(3) the Ohio River and its tributaries; (4) the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway in Louisiana and Texas; (5) the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway
east of New Orleans and associated fuel-taxed waterways including the
Tennessee-Tombigbee, plus the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway below
Norfolk; and (6) the Columbia-Snake Rivers System and Upper Willamette.
The intent is that each region shall be represented by at least one
representative organization, with that representation determined by the
regional concentration of the firm's traffic on the waterways.
(3) Commodity Representation. Waterway commerce has been aggregated
into six commodity categories based on ``inland'' ton-miles shown in
Waterborne Commerce of the United States. These categories are (1) Farm
and Food Products; (2) Coal and Coke; (3) Petroleum, Crude and
Products; (4) Minerals, Ores, and Primary Metals and Mineral Products;
(5) Chemicals and Allied Products; and (6) All Other. A consideration
in the selection of representative organizations to the Board will be
that the commodities carried or shipped by those firms will be
reasonably representative of the above commodity categories.
d. Nomination. Reflecting preceding selection criteria, the current
representation by the six (6) organizations whose terms are expiring
includes Regions 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6, representation of four carriers, 1
shipper and two of both, and commodity representation of Food and Farm
Products; Coal and Coke; Petroleum, Crude and Products; Chemicals and
Allied Products; and Other.
Individuals, firms or associations may nominate representative
organizations to serve on the Board. Nominations will:
(1) Include the commercial operations of the carrier and/or shipper
representative organization being nominated. This commercial operations
information will show the actual or estimated ton-miles of each
commodity carried or shipped on the inland waterways system in the most
recent year (or years), using the waterway regions and commodity
categories previously listed.
(2) State the region(s) to be represented.
(3) State whether the nominated representative organization is a
carrier, shipper or both.
(4) Provide the name of an individual to be the principal person
representing the organization and information pertaining to their
personal qualifications, to include a current within six months
biography or resume.
Previous nominations received in response to notices published in
the Federal Register in prior years will not be retained for
consideration. Re-nomination of representative organizations is
required.
e. Deadline for Nominations. All nominations must be received at
the address shown above no later than June 15, 2023.
