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 
three 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 2002: Two representatives of State 
officials responsible for State boating safety programs, two 
representatives of recreational boat and associated equipment 
manufacturers, and two 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. 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.
    If you are selected as a member who represents the general public, 
we will require you to complete a Confidential Financial Disclosure 
Report (OGE Form 450). We may not release the report or the information 
in it to the public, except under an order issued by a Federal court or 
as otherwise provided under the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a).
