SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    WOTAB was created under the Federal Advisory Committee Act

[[Page 75088]]

(FACA) in accordance with section 23007(d)(1) of the Bipartisan 
Infrastructure Law (BIL) (Pub. L. 117-58), which requires the Federal 
Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to establish WOTAB. WOTAB 
will review and report on policies that provide education, training, 
mentorship, and outreach to women in the trucking industry and identify 
barriers and industry trends that directly or indirectly discourage 
women from pursuing and retaining careers in trucking.
    WOTAB operates in accordance with FACA under the terms of the WOTAB 
charter, filed February 11, 2022.

II. Agenda

    WOTAB will complete its review of the discussion notes from the 
deliberations concerning Tasks 22-1 through 23-4 and the draft report 
prepared by its Report Subcommittee. The Report Subcommittee members 
were designated during the WOTAB's August 14 meeting for the purpose of 
compiling information from the discussion notes for the meetings and 
drafting a report for the full WOTAB to review prior to its submission 
to the FMCSA Administrator.

III. Public Participation

Advance registration via the website is required by Monday, November 6.
