SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NAVSAC is a twenty-one member Federal

the prevention of vessel collisions, rammings, and groundings,
including, but not limited to: Inland Rules of the Road, International
Rules of the Road, navigation regulations and equipment, routing
measures, marine information, diving safety, and aids to navigation
systems.
The applications will be considered for seven (07) expiring terms.
The Council consists of 21 members who have expertise, knowledge and
experience in the Navigation Rules of the Road (International and
Inland), aids to navigation, navigational safety equipment, vessel
traffic service, and traffic separation schemes and vessel routing.
To achieve the balance of membership required by the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, the Coast Guard is especially interested in
receiving applications from minorities and women. To assure balanced
representation of subject matter expertise, members are chosen, insofar
as practical, from the following groups: (1) Recognized experts and
leaders in organizations having an active interest in the Rules of the
Road and vessel and port safety; (2) representatives of owners and
operators of vessels, professional mariners, recreational boaters, and
the recreational boating industry; (3) individuals with an interest in
maritime law; and (4) Federal and state officials with responsibility
for vessel and port safety.
The three-year membership term begins July 1, 1996, and, assuming
that Congress passes pending legislation to renew the Council, will
expire June 30, 1999. Those persons who have submitted previous
applications must reapply as no applications received prior to this
solicitation will be considered.
The Council meets twice each year at various sites in the
continental United States. Members serve without compensation from the
Federal Government, although travel reimbursement and per diem may be
provided.
Dated: December 15, 1996.
