SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES MCSAC Section 4144 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) (Pub. L. 109–59, 119 Stat. 1144, August 10, 2005) required the Secretary of Transportation to establish a Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee. The committee provides advice and recommendations to the FMCSA Administrator on motor carrier safety programs and regulations, and operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App 2).EOBRs On April 5, 2010 (75 FR 17208), FMCSA published a final rule that revised the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations to incorporate new performance standards for EOBRs used to capture electronically drivers’ duty status or hours of service (HOS). These devices will take the place of automatic on-board recording devices (AOBRDs), the subject of a 1988 rule that established the technical requirements under 49 CFR 395.15. MCSAC Subcommittee (EOBR Technical Issues) FMCSA has approved a subcommittee dedicated to EOBR technical issues. Specifically, FMCSA believes it would be helpful to have a MCSAC subcommittee work with subject matter experts to identify ideas and concepts that EOBR manufacturers could use to achieve compliance with communications portion of the April 2010 final rule. In the time since the final rule was published, stakeholders in the CMV safety enforcement and EOBR supplier communities have expressed concern that certain provisions of the technical specifications are not clear and that additional information or guidance may be needed so that manufacturers can VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:48 Jun 28, 2011 Jkt 223001 deliver fully compliant devices to their motor carrier clients. The chairman of the MCSAC subcommittee is a member of the full MCSAC and has been duly appointed. As authorized by the MCSAC Charter and in order to bring a full range of expertise to the subcommittee, the subcommittee membership consists of both MCSAC members and non-MCSAC members. The subcommittee does not have independent authority and will submit all reports and recommendations to the full MCSAC, which, in turn, will provide recommendations to the Agency. II.
