    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Boating Safety Advisory Council 
    (NBSAC) was established by the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971. It is a 
    Federal advisory committee constituted under 5 U.S.C. App. 2. NBSAC 
    provides advice and makes recommendations to the Coast Guard regarding 
    regulations and other boating safety matters. The Council consists of 
    21 members drawn equally from the following sectors of the boating 
    community: State officials responsible for State boating safety 
    programs; recreational boating industry; and national recreational 
    boating organizations and the general public.
        NBSAC normally meets twice a 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 1997: three 
    representatives of State officials responsible for State boating safety 
    programs; two representatives of the boating industry; and two 
    representatives of national recreational boating organizations and from 
    the general public. 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. A few 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.
        Applicants selected may be required to complete a Confidential 
    Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form 450). Neither the report nor the 
    information it contains may be released to the public, except under an 
    order issued by a Federal court or as otherwise provided under the 
    Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a).
