SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Boating Safety Advisory

It is a Federal advisory committee constituted under 5 U.S.C. App. 2. 
NBSAC provides advice to the Coast Guard regarding regulations and 
other major boating safety matters. 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.
    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.
    The Coast Guard will consider applications for the following seven 
positions that expire or become vacant in December 1998: two 
representatives of State officials responsible for State boating safety 
programs; three representatives of recreational boat and associated 
equipment manufacturers; and two representatives of the general public. 
Mayors are particularly encouraged to submit applications to fill 
appropriate vacancies. Applicants are considered for membership on the 
basis of their expertise, knowledge, and experience in recreational 
boating safety. Each member serves for a term of 3 years unless filling 
an unexpired term. Some members may serve consecutive terms.
    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.
