SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CFIVAC was established by the Coast
Guard as required by the Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Safety Act
of 1988. This notice announces that applications will be considered for
six openings. The Coast Guard seeks applications for three members in
the category of fishing industry, one member in the category of general
public, one member in the category of education and training, and one
member in the category of insurance underwriters.
The Committee consists of seventeen members as follows: Ten members
from the fishing industry who reflect a regional and representational
balance and have experience in the operation of vessels to which
chapter 45 of Title 46, United States Code applies, or as a crew member
or processing line worker on an uninspected fish processing vessel; one
member representing naval architects or marine surveyors; one member
representing manufacturers of equipment for vessels to which chapter 45
applies; one member representing education or training professional
related to fishing vessel, fish processing vessel, or fish tender
vessel safety, or personnel qualifications; one member representing
underwriters that insure vessels to which chapter 45 applies, and three
members representing the general public, including whenever possible,
an independent expert or consultant in maritime safety and a member of
a national organization composed of persons representing owners or
vessels to which chapter 45 applies. The membership term is three
years.
A limited portion of the membership may serve consecutive terms.
Those persons who submitted applications in reply to the May 3,
1993, notice need not reapply.
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 members of the
Committee serve without compensation from the Federal Government,
although travel reimbursement and per diem will be provided. The
Committee normally meets in Washington, DC, with working group meetings
for specific problems on an as-required basis.
