SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Chemical Transportation Advisory 
Committee (CTAC) is a Federal advisory committee constituted under 5 
U.S.C. App. 2. It provides advice and makes recommendations to the 
Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety and Environmental Protection on 
matters relating to the safe transportation and handling of hazardous 
materials in bulk on U.S.-flag vessels and barges in U.S. ports and 
waterways. The advice and recommendations of CTAC also assist the U.S. 
Coast Guard in formulating the position of the United States on 
hazardous material transportation issues prior to meetings of the 
International Maritime Organization.
    CTAC meets at least once a year at Coast Guard Headquarters in 
Washington, DC. It may also meet more often than once a year for 
extraordinary purposes. CTAC's subcommittees and working groups may 
meet to consider specific problems as required.
    The Coast Guard will consider applications for seven positions that 
expire or become vacant in September 1999. To be eligible, applicants 
should have experience in chemical manufacturing, marine transportation 
of chemicals, occupational safety and health, or environmental 
protection issues associated with chemical transportation. Each member 
serves for a term of three years. Some members may serve consecutive 
terms. However, not more than 50 percent of the members with expiring 
terms may be re-appointed. 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 Department of Transportation on 
gender and ethnic diversity, the Coast Guard encourages applications 
from qualified women and members of minority groups.
    Applicants selected may be required to complete a Confidential 
Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form 450). Neither the report nor the 
information it contains may be released 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).
