U.S.C. App. 2. As required by the Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel

advice to the Coast Guard on issues related to the safety of commercial
fishing vessels regulated under chapter 45 of Title 46, United States
Code, which includes uninspected fishing vessels, fish processing
vessels, and fish tender vessels. CFIVAC consists of 17 members as
follows: Ten members from the commercial fishing industry who reflect
[[Page 11351]]
a regional and representational balance and have experience in the
operation of vessels to which chapter 45 of Title 46, United States
Code applies, or as a crew member or processing line member on an
uninspected fish processing vessel; one member representing naval
architects or marine surveyors; one member representing manufacturers
of equipment for vessels which chapter 45 applies; one member
representing education or training professionals related to fishing
vessel, fish processing vessels, or fish tender vessel safety, or
personnel qualifications; one member representing underwriters that
insure vessels to which chapter 45 applies; and three members
representing the general public, including whenever possible, an
independent expert or consultant in maritime safety and a member of a
national organization composed of persons representing the marine
insurance industry.
CFIVAC meets at least once a year in different seaport cities
nationwide. It may also meet for extraordinary purposes. Its
subcommittees and working groups may meet to consider specific problems
as required.
We will consider applications for five positions that expire or
become vacant in October 2001 in the following categories: (a)
Commercial Fishing Industry (two positions); (b) Education/Training
(one position); (c) Marine Insurance Underwriter (one position); (d)
General Public (one position).
Each member serves for a term of 3 years. A few members may serve
consecutive terms. All members serve at their own expense and receive
no salary from the Federal Government, although travel reimbursement
and per diem are provided.
In support of the policy of the Department of Transportation on
gender and ethnic diversity, we encourage qualified women and members
of minority groups to apply.
If you are selected as a member who represents the general public,
we will require you to complete a Confidential Financial Disclosure
Report (OGE Form 450). We may not release the report or the information
in it to the public, except under an order issued by a Federal court or
