SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Boating Safety Advisory Council

advises the Coast Guard regarding regulations and other major boating 
safety matters. NBSAC members are drawn equally from the following 
sectors of the boating community: State officials responsible for State 
boating safety programs; recreational boat and associated equipment 
manufacturers; and national recreational boating organizations and the 
general public. Members are appointed by the Secretary of 
Transportation.
    NBSAC normally meets twice each year at a location selected by the 
Coast Guard. When attending meetings of the Council, members are 
provided travel expenses and per diem.
    We will consider applications for the following six positions that 
expire or become vacant in December 2000: one representative of State 
officials responsible for State boating safety programs; two 
representatives of recreational boat and associated equipment 
manufacturers; and three representatives of national recreational 
boating organizations. Applicants are considered for membership on the 
basis of their particular expertise, knowledge, and experience in 
recreational boating safety. Each member serves for a term of 3 years 
unless filling an unexpired term. Some members may serve consecutive 
terms.
    In support of the policy of the Department of Transportation on 
gender and ethnic diversity, we encourage qualified women and members 
of minority groups to apply.
