SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    NOSAC is a Federal advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App. 2. It 
consists of 14 regular members who have particular 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, Security 
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 2003. To be eligible, applicants should have 
experience in one of the following categories: (1) Offshore supply 
vessel services including geophysical services, (2) offshore 
operations, (3) construction of offshore facilities, (4) offshore 
production of petroleum, or (5) offshore drilling. Please state on the 
application form which of the five 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.
    Applicants selected may be required 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).
