SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NBSAC was established by the Federal 
Boat Safety Act of 1971. Members for the Council are drawn equally from 
the following sectors of the boating community: State officials 
responsible for State boating safety programs; recreational boat and 
associated equipment manufacturers; and national recreational boating 
organizations and the general public. Members are appointed by the 
Secretary of Transportation. Applicants are considered for membership 
on the basis of their expertise, knowledge, and experience in boating 
safety. The terms of appointment are staggered so that seven vacancies 
occur each year.
    Applications are being sought for membership vacancies that will 
occur as follows: Three (3) representatives of State officials 
responsible for State boating safety programs; two (2) representatives 
of recreational boat and associated equipment manufacturers; and two 
(2) representatives of national recreational boating organizations and 
from the general public. 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.
    The Council normally meets twice each year at a location selected 
by the Coast Guard. When attending meetings of the Council, members are 
provided travel expenses and per diem.
