Marine Safety, Security and Environmental Protection on matters 
relating to the safe and secure transportation and handling of 
hazardous materials in bulk on U.S.-flag vessels in U.S. ports and

International Maritime Organization.
    CTAC meets at least once a year, usually twice a year, at Coast 
Guard Headquarters in Washington, DC, or in another location. CTAC's

transportation. Each member serves for a term of 3 years. Some 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 Department of Homeland Security on 
gender and ethnic diversity, the Coast Guard encourages applications 
from qualified women and members of minority groups.
