Road and vessel and port safety; (2) representatives of owners and 
operators of vessels, professional mariners, recreational boaters, and

maritime law; and (4) Federal and state officials with responsibility 
for vessel and port safety.
    The three-year membership term begins July 1, 1995, and, assuming 
that the Council is continued beyond September 30, 1995, will expire 
June 30, 1998. Those persons who have submitted previous applications 
must reapply as no applications received prior to this solicitation 
will be considered.
    The Council meets twice each year at various sites in the 
continental United States. Members serve without compensation from the 
Federal Government, although travel reimbursement and per diem may be 
provided.
