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 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 2002 and one position that became vacant on
January 2001. To be eligible, applicants should have experience in one
of the following categories: (1) Offshore drilling, (2) offshore supply
vessel services including geophysical services, (3) safety and training
relating to offshore activities, (4) offshore production, (5) national
environmental interests, or (6) general public interest associated with
offshore activities. Please state on the application form which of the
six 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.
If you are selected as the general public member, we will require
you to complete a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form
