ACTION: Notice of establishment of a

represent the interests that would be

affected by the proposed rule, such as

first-stage, intermediate and final-stage

manufacturers of motor vehicles,

equipment manufacturers, vehicle

converters, testing facilities, trade

associations that represent various

manufacturing groups, and consumers.

This notice also announces the time and

place of the first advisory committee

meeting. The public is invited to attend;

an opportunity for members of the

public to make oral presentations will

be provided if time permits.
