SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Boating Safety Advisory Council 
(NBSAC) is a Federal advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App. (Pub. L. 
92-463). It advises the Coast Guard regarding regulations and other 
major boating safety matters. NBSAC's 21 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 the Department of Homeland Security.
    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 received in response to this notice 
for the following seven positions that expire or become vacant in 
December 2008: three representatives of State officials responsible for 
State boating safety programs, two representatives of recreational boat 
and associated equipment manufacturers, and two representatives of the 
general public or national recreational boating organizations.
    Applicants are considered for membership on the basis of their 
particular expertise, knowledge, and experience in recreational boating 
safety. Prior applicants should submit an updated application to ensure 
consideration for the vacancies announced in this notice. Each member 
serves for a term of up to 3 years. Members may serve consecutive 
terms. In support of the policy of the U. S. Coast Guard on gender and 
ethnic diversity, we encourage qualified women and members of minority 
groups to apply.
    If you are selected as a non-representative member, or as a member 
who represents the general public, you will be appointed and serve as a 
special Government employee (SGE) as defined in section 202(a) of title 
18, United States Code. As a candidate for appointment as a SGE, 
applicants are required to complete a Confidential Financial Disclosure 
Report (OGE Form 450). A completed OGE Form 450 is not releasable 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). Only the 
Designated Agency Ethics Official or the DAEO's designate may release a 
Confidential Financial Disclosure Report.
