People serving in the listed international fisheries roles do not receive Government pay for that service. The Secretary of State pays certain official travel and other expenses if funds are available, and those people are generally not Federal employees.
(a) Prohibition on compensation. A person may not receive Government compensation because the person serves as (1) a Commissioner*, Alternate Commissioner, Representative, or Alternative Representative; (2) an expert or adviser authorized under section 5601(e); or (3) a member of the consultative committee under section 5607.
(b) Travel and expenses. If appropriations are available, the Secretary of State shall pay necessary travel and other expenses for people described in subsection (a)(1) and no more than six authorized experts and advisers, for their actual official duties under this chapter. Payment must follow the Federal Travel Regulations and the listed title 5 provisions.
(c) Status as Federal employees. Service in a capacity listed in subsection (a) does not make a person a Federal employee, except for injury compensation under title 5, chapter 81, and tort-claim liability under title 28, chapter 171.
