Starting in December, you will need a Login.gov account to sign in to the Council Appointment System.
Why? NOAA Fisheries is updating its sign-in process to meet federal cybersecurity requirements and better protect your account and information.
What to expect:
- One account — sign in with Login.gov. The first time you sign in after the update, you will be guided through linking it to your existing Council Appointment System account.
- Stronger security — multi-factor authentication helps keep your personal information safe.
- Privacy protected — your information is never shared for commercial purposes.
What to do: If you don't have a Login.gov account yet, create one at login.gov now so you're ready when the change takes effect.
If you are representing a Governor's office, state agency, or Tribal government, please request your initial login credentials by contacting council.appointments@noaa.gov.
Prospective council nominees will receive login credentials from their state or Tribal government when invited to apply for Council membership.
