offshore mineral resources. It provides advice and makes

This advice assists us in formulating the positions of the United 
States in advance of meetings of the International Maritime 
Organization.
    NOSAC meets twice a year, with one of these meetings being held at 
Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, DC. It may also meet for 
extraordinary purposes. Subcommittees and working groups may meet to 
consider specific problems as required.
    We will consider applications for four positions that expire or 
become vacant in January 2001. To be eligible, applicants should have 
experience in offshore operations, diving services, pipelaying, or 
general public interest associated with offshore activities. Each 
member serves a term of 3 years. A few members may serve consecutive 
terms. All members serve at their own expense, and receive no salary, 
reimbursement of travel expenses, or other compensation from the 
Federal Government.
    In support of the policy of the U.S. Department of Transportation 
on gender and ethnic diversity, the Coast Guard encourages applications 
from qualified women and minority group members.
    If you are selected as the general public member, we will require 
you to complete a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form 
450). We may not release the report or the information in it 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).
