SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Great Lakes Pilotage Advisory Committee 
(GLPAC) is a Federal advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App. 2. It 
advises the Secretary of Transportation, via the Commandant of the 
Coast Guard, on the rules and regulations that govern the registration 
of pilots, the operating requirements for U.S. registered pilots, pilot 
training policies, and the policies and regulations that establish 
rates charges and conditions for pilotage services.
    GLPAC meets at least twice a year at various locations in the 
continental United States. It may also meet for extraordinary purposes. 
Subcommittees or working groups may be designated to consider specific 
problems and will meet as required.
    We will consider applications for two positions that expired on 
April 30, 2002. The two positions we are seeking to fill represent the 
interests of Great Lakes' ports, and the interests of shippers whose 
cargoes are transported through Great Lakes' ports. To be eligible, you 
must represent the interests of one of these two industry groups and 
have particular expertise, knowledge, and experience regarding the 
regulations and policies on the pilotage of vessels on the Great Lakes, 
and at least 5 years of practical experience in maritime operations.
    Each member serves for a term of 3 years. A few members may serve 
consecutive terms. All members serve without compensation from the 
Federal Government, although travel reimbursement and per diem will be 
provided.
    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.

    Dated: May 23, 2002.
Jeffrey P. High,
Acting, Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety, Security and 
Environmental Protection.
