a successor is not appointed for a 

member of the Council before the 

expiration of the term of service of the 

member, the member may serve on the 

Council for a second term of no longer 

than 2 years. The Secretary may extend 

appointments and may appoint 

replacements for members who have 

resigned outside of a stated term, as 

necessary. Members may continue to 

serve until their replacements have been 

appointed. If a member of the Council 

resigns before the expiration of the 2- 

year term of service of the member—‘‘(i) 

the Secretary may appoint a 

replacement for the member, who shall 

serve the remaining portion of the term; 

and (ii) the resigning member may 

continue to serve after resignation until 

the date on which a successor is 

appointed.’’ Id. section 355(b)(2). A 

vacancy on the Council shall be filled in

appointment was made. 

MAC members will not receive pay or 

other compensation from NHTSA for 

their MAC service, but are entitled to 

reimbursement for their travel expenses, 

including per diem. The MAC shall 

meet approximately twice a Federal 

fiscal year. Members appointed solely 

for their expertise will serve as special
