SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Boating Safety Advisory 
Committee is a Federal advisory committee. The Committee operates under 
the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, (5 U.S.C. 
appendix) in addition to the administrative provisions in section 601 
of the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 
(specifically, 46 U.S.C. 15109).
    The Committee was established on December 4, 2018, by section 601 
of the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 (Pub. L. No 
115-282, 132 Stat 4192). That authority is codified, at 46 U.S.C. 
15105. The Committee is required to meet at least once a year in 
accordance with 46 U.S.C. 15109(a). We expect the Committee will hold 
meetings at least twice a year. The meetings are held virtually or at a 
location selected by the U.S. Coast Guard.
    All members serve at their own expense and receive no salary or 
other compensation from the Federal Government. Members may be 
reimbursed for travel and per diem in accordance with Federal Travel 
Regulations.
    Under provisions in 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(6), if you are appointed as 
a member of the Committee, your membership term will expire on December 
31st of the third full year after the effective date of your 
appointment. The Secretary may require an individual to have passed an 
appropriate security background examination before appointment to the 
Committee, 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(4).
    In this solicitation for Committee members, we will consider 
applications for two (2) positions:
     One member to represent State officials responsible for 
State boating safety programs.

     One member to represent recreational vessel and associated

selection of Committee members on the basis of race, color, religion,
