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 

national motorcyclist association; 

(B) One member recommended by a 

national motorcycle rider’s foundation; 

(C) One representative of the National 

Association of State Motorcycle Safety 

Administrators; 

(D) Two members of State 

motorcyclists’ organizations; 

(E) One member recommended by a 

national organization that represents the 

builders of highway infrastructure; 

(F) One member recommended by a 

national association that represents the 

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 Federal eRulemaking Portal 

at: http://www.regulations.gov 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 metropolitan 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Annual Report of 

Class I and Class II Motor Carriers of 

Property (Form M) and the Quarterly 

Report of Class I Motor Carriers of 

Property (Form QFR) are mandated 

reporting requirements for all for-hire 

motor carriers. See 49 U.S.C. 14123; and 

implementing FMCSA regulations at 49 

CFR part 369. The Secretary of 

Transportation (Secretary) has exercised 

his discretion under section 14123 to 

also require Class I property carriers 

(including dual-property carriers), Class 

I household goods carriers and Class I 

passenger carriers to file quarterly 

reports. Motor carriers (including 

interstate and intrastate) subject to the 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations are classified on the basis of 

their gross carrier operating revenues.1

Under the F&OS program, FMCSA 

collects from Class I and Class II 

property carriers balance sheet and 

income statement data along with 

information on safety needs, tonnage, 

mileage, employees, transportation 

equipment, and other related data. 

FMCSA may also ask carriers to respond 

to surveys concerning their operations. 

The data and information collected 

would be made publicly available and 

used by FMCSA to determine a motor 

carrier’s compliance with the F&OS 

program requirements prescribed at 

chapter III of title of 49 CFR part 369. 

The regulations were formerly 

administered by the Interstate 

Commerce Commission and later 

transferred to the Secretary on January 

1, 1996, by section 103 of the ICC 

Termination Act of 1995 (Pub. L.104– 

88, 109 Stat. 803 (Dec. 29, 1995)), now 

codified at 49 U.S.C. 14123. On 

September 30, 1998, the Secretary 

delegated and transferred the authority 

to administer the F&OS program to the 

former Bureau of Transportation 

Statistics (BTS), now part of the 

Research and Innovative Technology 

Administration (RITA), to former 

chapter XI, subchapter B of 49 CFR part 

1420 (63 FR 52192). 

On September 29, 2004, the Secretary 

transferred the responsibility for the 

F&OS program from BTS to FMCSA in 

the belief that the program was more
