federal advisory committee that advises the Coast Guard on matters 
related to the safety of commercial fishing vessels.

DATES: Membership applications must be received by October 11, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Persons interested in applying should write to Commandant

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
LT Tony Johnson, Assistant to the Executive Director, CFIVAC, Room 
1405, U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second St., S.W., Washington, 
DC. 20593-0001, (202) 267-6282.

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.

    Dated: August 3, 1994.
Joseph J. Angelo,
Acting Chief, Office of Marine Safety Security and Environmental 
Protection.
