Advisory Committee (CFIVAC) is a Federal advisory committee under 5 
U.S.C. App. 2. It advises the Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety 
and Environmental Protection, on the safe operation of U.S.-flag 
commercial fishing vessels. This advice assists us in formulating 
regulations and programs designed to improve safety on commercial 
fishing vessels.
    CFIVAC meets at least once a year in different seaport cities 
nationwide. Special meetings may also be called. Subcommittee meetings 
are held to consider specific problems as required.
    We will consider applications for six positions that expire or 
become vacant in October 2000 in the following categories: (a) 
Commercial Fishing Industry (four positions); (b) General Public (one 
position); (c) Surveyor/Naval Architect (one position). To be eligible, 
you should have experience in the operation of commercial fishing 
vessels, maritime safety, safety education, or marine surveying/naval 
architecture. Each member serves for a term of 3 years. A few members 
may serve consecutive terms. All members serve at their own expense and 
receive no salary, however members will be reimbursed for travel 
expenses.
    In support of the U.S. Department of Transportation's policy on 
ethnic and gender diversity, we encourage qualified women and members 
of minority groups to apply.
    If you are selected as a member who represents the general public, 
we will require you to complete a Confidential Financial Disclosure
