members within the EMS community 

from a wide array of national 

organizations and the public. Members

To the extent practical, the final

➢ State Homeland Security Directors 

➢ Consumers (not directly affiliated 

with an EMS or healthcare 

organization) 

➢ State or local legislative bodies (e.g. 

city/county councils; state 

legislatures) 

This document gives notice to 

potential participants of the process and 

affords them the opportunity to apply 

for membership on NEMSAC. The 

application procedure is set forth below. 

In addition, NHTSA invites commentors 

to suggest or nominate potential 

members. 

The NHTSA is aware that there are 

many more potential organizations and 

participants than there are membership 

positions on NEMSAC. It is important to 

recognize that interested parties who are 

not selected for NEMSAC membership 

can make valuable contributions to the 

work of NEMSAC in several ways. For 

example, the person or organization 

may request to be placed on the 

NEMSAC mailing list, submit written 

comments to the advisory council, and 

attend NEMSAC meetings. Time will be 

set aside during each meeting for the 

purpose of permitting public comment, 

consistent with NEMSAC’s need for 

sufficient time to complete its 

deliberations. 

E. Applications for Membership 

Each application for membership or 

nomination to the advisory council 

must include the following: 

(1) A brief resume or letter (no more 

than one page) demonstrating the 

applicant or nominee’s knowledge of 

EMS projects or programs and why he 

or she is interested in serving on the 

advisory council (please note, resumes 

or letters will be posted in the public 

docket and therefore should not contain 

personal information such as date of 

birth, etc). 

(2) The name of the applicant or 

nominee and which interest(s)/ 

component(s) of the EMS community 

(identified above in Section D) he or she 

would represent. 

(3) Evidence that the applicant or 

nominee represents those interest(s)/ 

component(s) of the EMS community 

(identified above in Section D). 

(4) A written commitment that the 

applicant or nominee would participate 

in good faith. Since all comments and/ 

or applications for membership or 

nominations for membership on the 

advisory council will be posted on the 

Public Docket, we encourage you to 

include only that information you are 

willing to provide for the public docket 

and submit your application 

electronically using the docket number 

provided on this notice through the 

DOT online Document Management 

System found at: http://dms.dot.gov/ 

submit. 

Every effort will be made to select 

advisory council members who are 

objective. A balanced membership is 

needed and weight will be given to a 

variety of factors including, but not 

limited to, geographical distribution, 

gender, minority status, organization, 

and expertise. 

Members of the advisory council may 

receive travel and per diem, as allowed 

by Federal regulations and U.S. 

Department of Transportation policy. 

F. Duration 

Two years from the establishment of 

the advisory council charter.
