Special meetings may also be called. Subcommittee meetings are held to consider specific prob- lems as required. The USCG will consider applica- tions for five positions that expire or become vacant in October, 1997, as follows: • two members from the barge and towing industry, reflecting a geographical bal- ance; • one member from port districts, authorities or ter- minal operators; • one member from mar- itime labor; and • one member from the general public. (Applicants should have expe- rience in towing operations, marine transportation, occupa- tional safety and health, environ- mental protection issues, or busi- ness operations associated with the towing industry.) Each member serves for a term of three years. A few members may serve consecutive terms. All members serve at their own expense, and receive no salary, reimbursement of travel expens- es, or other compensation from the federal government. Applicants may be required to complete an Executive Branch Confidential Financial Disclosure Report (SF 450). To achieve the balance of mem- bership required by the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the USCG is especially interested in receiving applications from quali- fied women and minorities. Those persons who have previ- ously submitted applications must reapply as no applications received prior to this solicitation will be considered. Application forms may be obtained by writing to the Commandant (G-MSO-1), U.S. Coast Guard, 2100 Second St. S.W., Rm. 1210, Washington, D.C. 20593-0001; by calling (202) 267- 1181; or by faxing (202) 267-4570.
