SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
NOSAC is a Federal advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App. 2. It
consists of 14 regular members who have particular knowledge and
experience regarding offshore technology, equipment, safety and
training and environmental expertise in the exploration or recovery of
offshore mineral resources. It provides advice and makes
recommendations to the Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety, Security
and Environmental Protection on safety and rulemaking matters relating
to the offshore mineral and energy industries. This advice assists us
in formulating the positions of the United States in advance of
meetings of the International Maritime Organization.
NOSAC meets twice a year, with one of these meetings being held at
Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, DC. It may also meet for
extraordinary purposes. 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 January 2003. To be eligible, applicants should have
experience in one of the following categories: (1) Offshore supply
vessel services including geophysical services, (2) offshore
operations, (3) construction of offshore facilities, (4) offshore
production of petroleum, or (5) offshore drilling. Please state on the
application form which of the five categories you are applying for.
Each member normally serves a term of 3 years or until a replacement is
appointed. A few members may serve consecutive terms. All members serve
at their own expense and receive no salary, reimbursement of travel
expenses, or other compensation from the Federal Government.
In support of the policy of the U.S. Department of Transportation
on gender and ethnic diversity, the Coast Guard encourages applications
from qualified women and minority group members.
Applicants selected may be required 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 as otherwise provided under the Privacy
Act (5 U.S.C. 552a).
