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 one position that has never been 
filled since the GLPAC was established. The position is unique in that 
the member is required to have a background in finance or accounting, 
and the requirement for five years of practical experience in maritime 
operations that the other six members must meet is waived for this 
position. However, applicants with some knowledge of the marine 
industry would be desirable. Applicants who do not live or work in the 
Great Lakes community are specifically encouraged to apply.
    All applications will be reviewed and discussed by the other six 
Committee members as the candidate for this position must be 
recommended to the Secretary of Transportation by a unanimous vote of 
the other members of the Committee. This discussion will occur in a 
public forum, however, information of a personal nature that would 
invade the privacy of the applicant, including his/her name, will be 
blacked out before the applications are made available to the public. 
Applicants will be asked to sign a waiver to allow discussion at a 
public meeting of GLPAC.
    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: August 13, 2002.
J. P. Brusseau,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Assistant Commandant for Marine 
Safety, Security and Environmental Protection.
