    a national organization composed of persons representing owners of 
    vessels to which chapter 45 applies and persons representing the marine 
    insurance industry.
        CFIVAC meets at least once a year in different seaport cities 
    nationwide. Special meetings may also be called. Subcommittee meetings 
    are held to consider specific problems as required.
