Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety and Environmental Protection on 
matters relating to the safe transportation and handling of hazardous 
materials in bulk on U.S.-flag vessels in U.S. ports and waterways. The 
advice and recommendations of CTAC also assist the U.S. Coast Guard in 
formulating the position of the United States on hazardous material 
transportation issues prior to meetings of the international Maritime 
Organization.
    CTAC meets at least once a year at Coast Guard Headquarters in 
Washington, DC. It may also meet more often than once a year as 
necessary. CTAC's subcommittee and working groups may meet to perform 
specific assignments as required.
    The Coast Guard will consider applications for ten positions that 
expire in December 2000. To be eligible, applicants should have 
experience in chemical manufacturing, vessel design and construction, 
marine transportation of chemicals, occupational safety and health, or 
marine environmental protection issues associated with chemical 
transportation. Each member serves for a term of three years. Some 
members may serve consecutive terms. However, not more than 50 percent 
of the members with expiring terms may be re-appointed. 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 Department of Transportation on 
gender and ethnic diversity, the Coast Guard encourages applications 
from qualified women and members of minority groups.
