[Docket No. FMCSA–2007–27357] 

Commercial Driver’s License Advisory 

Committee 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of meetings of advisory 

committee. 

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth the 

schedule for the meetings of the 

Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) 

Advisory Committee. Pursuant to 

section 4135 of the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU), 

the Secretary of Transportation 

established this advisory committee to 

study and address current impediments 

and foreseeable challenges to the 

commercial driver’s license program’s 

effectiveness and measures needed to 

realize the full safety potential of the 

commercial driver’s license program. 

Members of the advisory committee will 

include State motor vehicle 

administrators, organizations 

representing government agencies or 

officials, members of the Judicial 

Conference, representatives of the 

trucking industry, representatives of 

labor organizations, safety advocates, 

and other significant stakeholders. 

DATES: Meetings of the committee will

Meeting 1: March 20–22, 2007 

Meeting 2: April 17–19, 2007 

Meeting 3: May 15–17, 2007

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lloyd E. Goldsmith, Transportation 

Specialist, CDL Division, at (202) 366–

2964 (lloyd.goldsmith@dot.gov), Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 

400 7th Street, SW., Room 8310, 

Washington, DC 20590. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

10, 2005, the President signed into law 

the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (Public Law 109–59, 119 

Stat.1144). Section 4135 mandates the 

establishment of a Commercial Driver’s 

License (CDL) Task Force to study and 

address current impediments and 

foreseeable challenges to the 

commercial driver’s license program’s 

effectiveness and measures needed to 

realize the full safety potential of the 

commercial driver’s license program. 

The CDL program was established by 

the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety 

Act (CMVSA) of 1986 and is codified at 

49 U.S.C. Chapter 313. 

To carry out this requirement, FMCSA 

formed an advisory committee, 

consistent with the standards of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA). See 71 FR 69605, December 1, 

2006. The notice requested applications 

from persons interested in serving as 

members of the CDL Advisory 

Committee not later than January 2, 

2007. The applications received by the 

due date have been evaluated and 

membership recommendations made to 

the Secretary of Transportation who will 

appoint members of the committee. 

The statutory timetable for this effort 

is short. Section 4132 of the SAFETEA–

LU specifies that not later than 2 years 

after the date of enactment of this Act 

(e.g., by August 10, 2007), the Secretary, 

on behalf of the task force, shall 

complete a report of findings and 

recommendations for legislative, 

regulatory, and enforcement changes to 

improve the commercial drivers license 

program and submit the report to the 

Committee on Commerce, Science, and 

Transportation of the Senate and the 

Committee on Transportation and 

Infrastructure of the House of 

Representatives. To meet this deadline, 

FMCSA will conduct a very compressed 

schedule of Committee meetings. The 

FMCSA has scheduled three meetings 

on the following dates: 

Meeting 1: March 20–22, 2007 

Meeting 2: April 17–19, 2007 

Meeting 3: May 15–17, 2007 

The meetings of the committee are 

open to the public. Attendance will be 

limited by the size of the meeting room. 

As a general matter, the committee will 

make one hour available for public 

comments on the Thursday of each 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 39 / Wednesday, February 28, 2007 / Notices 9059 

meeting (March 22 April 19, and May 

17) from 1–2 p.m. Individuals wishing 

to address the committee should sign up 

on the public comment sign-in sheet 

before 11:30 a.m. The time available 

will be reasonably divided among those 

who have signed up, but no one will 

have more than 15 minutes. Written 

comments and reports can be given to 

the facilitator for distribution to the 

committee members. Persons wanting to 

present written materials to the 

committee should make enough copies 

for the 15 committee members and the 

facilitator. 

The agenda topics for the meetings 

will include, but not necessarily be 

limited to, discussion of the following 

issues: 

1. State enforcement practices; 

2. Operational procedures to detect 

and deter fraud; 

3. Needed improvements for seamless 

information sharing between States; 

4. Effective methods for accurately 

sharing electronic data between States; 

5. Adequate proof of citizenship; 

6. Updated technology; and 

7. Timely notification from judicial 

bodies concerning traffic and criminal 

convictions of commercial driver’s 

license holders. 

The agenda topics presented in this 

notice are necessarily very general since 

the direction and nature of the advisory 

committee discussions will shape each 

subsequent meeting. The DOT may 

issue additional notices, as needed, with 

respect to changes in the schedule or 

agenda topics.
