SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOSAC is a Federal advisory committee under

knowledge and experience regarding offshore technology, equipment, 
safety and training and environmental expertise in the exploration or 
recovery of offshore mineral resources. It provides advice and makes 
recommendations to the Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety and 
Environmental Protection on safety and rulemaking matters relating to 
the offshore mineral and energy industries. 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 five positions that expire or 
become vacant in January 2002 and one position that became vacant on 
January 2001. To be eligible, applicants should have experience in one 
of the following categories: (1) Offshore drilling, (2) offshore supply 
vessel services including geophysical services, (3) safety and training 
relating to offshore activities, (4) offshore production, (5) national 
environmental interests, or (6) general public interest associated with 
offshore activities. Please state on the application form which of the 
six categories you are applying for. Each member normally serves a term 
of 3 years or until a replacement is appointed. 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
