should be applied, if the resulting 

offense level is higher. The Commission 

concluded that operation of the cross 

reference would capture the harms 

associated with the aggravated forms of 

this offense referenced at 18 U.S.C. 

1039(d) or (e). Finally, the amendment 

expands the scope of the existing threelevel enhancement in the guideline to 

include cases in which the defendant is 

convicted under 18 U.S.C. 1039(d) or 

(e). Thus, in cases where the cross 

reference does not apply, application of 

the enhancement will capture the 

increased harms associated with the 

aggravated offenses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 10, 2005, the President 

signed into law the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) 

(Pub. L. 109–59, 119 Stat. 1144). Section 

1914 of SAFETEA–LU mandates the 

establishment of the Motorcyclist 

Advisory Council as follows: ‘‘The 

Secretary, acting through the 

Administrator of the Federal Highway 

Administration, in consultation with the 

Committee on Transportation and 

Infrastructure of the House of 

Representatives and the Committee on 

Environment and Public Works of the 

Senate, shall appoint a Motorcyclist 

Advisory Council to coordinate with 

and advise the Administrator on 

infrastructure issues of concern to 

motorcyclists, including—

(1) Barrier design; 

(2) Road design, construction, and 

maintenance practices; and 

(3) The architecture and 

implementation of intelligent 

transportation system technologies.’’

In addition, section 1914 specifies the 

membership of the council: ‘‘The 

Council shall consist of not more than 

10 members of the motorcycling 

community with professional expertise 

in national motorcyclist safety 

advocacy, including—

(1) At least—

(A) One member recommended by a

traffic safety systems industry; and 

(G) One member of a national safety 

organization; and 

(2) At least one, and not more than 

two, motorcyclists who are traffic 

system design engineers or State 

transportation department officials.’’

To carry out this requirement, the 

FHWA published a notice of intent to 

form an advisory committee in the 

Federal Register on December 23, 2005 

(70 FR 76353). This notice, consistent 

with the requirements of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 

announced the establishment of the 

Council and invited comments and 

nominations for membership. The 

FHWA announced the ten members 

selected to the Council in the Federal 

Register on October 5, 2006 (71 FR 

58903). An electronic copy of this 

document and the previous Federal 

Register notices associated with the 

MAC–FHWA can be downloaded 

through the Document Management 

System (DMS) at: http://dms.dot.gov/ 

submit and the Office of the Federal 

Register’s home page at: http:// 

www.archives.gov/federal_register. 

The FHWA anticipates that the MAC–

FHWA will meet at least once a year, 

with meetings held in the Washington, 

DC, area and the FHWA will publish 

notices in the Federal Register to 

announce the times, dates, and locations 

of these meetings. Meetings of the 

Council are open to the public and time 

will be provided in each meeting’s 

schedule for comments by members of 

the public. Attendance will necessarily 

be limited by the size of the meeting 

room. Members of the public may 

present oral or written comments at the 

meeting or may present written 

materials by providing copies to Ms. 

Fran Bents, Westat, 1650 Research 

Boulevard, Rockville, MD 20850–3195, 

(240) 314–7557, ten (10) days prior to 

the meeting. 

The agenda topics for the meetings 

will include a discussion of the 

following issues: (1) Barrier design; (2) 

road design, construction, and 

maintenance practices; and (3) the 

architecture and implementation of 

intelligent transportation system 

technologies. 

Conclusion 

The second meeting of the 

Motorcyclist Advisory Council to the 

Federal Highway Administration will be 

held on May 9–10, at the Sheraton 

Crystal City, 1800 Jefferson Davis

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Maritime Administration 

[Docket No. MARAD–2007–27873] 

Requested Administrative Waiver of 

the Coastwise Trade Laws 

AGENCY: Maritime Administration, 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Invitation for public comments 

on a requested administrative waiver of 

the Coastwise Trade Laws for the vessel 

ASHLANA. 

SUMMARY: As authorized by Public Law 

105–383 and Public Law 107–295, the 

Secretary of Transportation, as 

represented by the Maritime 

Administration (MARAD), is authorized 

to grant waivers of the U.S.-build 

requirement of the coastwise laws under 

certain circumstances. A request for 

such a waiver has been received by 

MARAD. The vessel, and a brief 

description of the proposed service, is 

listed below. The complete application 

is given in DOT docket MARAD–2007–

27873 at http://dms.dot.gov. Interested 

parties may comment on the effect this 

action may have on U.S. vessel builders 

or businesses in the U.S. that use U.S.- 

flag vessels. If MARAD determines, in 

accordance with Pub. L. 105–383 and 

MARAD’s regulations at 46 CFR part 

388 (68 FR 23084; April 30, 2003), that 

the issuance of the waiver will have an 

unduly adverse effect on a U.S.-vessel 

builder or a business that uses U.S.-flag 

vessels in that business, a waiver will 

not be granted. Comments should refer 

to the docket number of this notice and 

the vessel name in order for MARAD to 

properly consider the comments. 

Comments should also state the 

commenter’s interest in the waiver 

application, and address the waiver 

criteria given in § 388.4 of MARAD’s 

regulations at 46 CFR part 388.
