SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On May 20, 1999, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 
(NHTSA) published a notice of intent to establish an advisory committee 
(Committee) for a negotiated rulemaking to develop recommendations for 
regulations governing the certification of vehicles built in two or 
more stages. The notice requested comment on membership, the interests 
affected by the rulemaking, the issues that the Committee should 
address, and the procedures that it should follow. The reader is 
referred to that notice (64 FR 27499) for further information on these 
issues.
    On December 14-15, 1999, interested parties attended a public 
meeting in Washington, DC. As part of that meeting, the schedule of 
specific dates for holding meetings of the Advisory Committee was 
agreed upon. Meetings of the Committee will be open to the public so 
that individuals who are not part of the Committee may attend and 
observe. Any person attending the Committee meetings may address the 
Committee, if time permits, or file statements with the Committee.

II. Authority

    5 U.S.C. sections 561 et seq., delegation of authority at 49 CFR 
1.50.
