The President’s Memorandum of June
18, 2010, concerning lobbyists on
Agency boards and commissions (75 FR
35995, 6/23/10) directed the heads of
Executive departments and agencies not
to make any new appointments or

lobbyists to advisory committees and
other boards and commissions. Pursuant

consider for appointment to the ACTS
any individual who is subject to the

The Intermodal Surface

of 1991 (Pub. L. 102–240), directed the
Director of the Bureau of Transportation
Statistics (BTS) to establish an advisory
Council on Transportation Statistics. In
2005, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A
Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU)
codified the requirement for the ACTS
in 49 U.S.C. Section 111 (See Section
5601 of SAFETEA–LU). The functions
of the ACTS are to: (1) Advise the
Director on the quality, reliability,
consistency, objectivity, and relevance
of transportation statistics and analyses
collected, supported, or disseminated by
BTS and DOT; (2) provide input to and
review the congressional report required
by 49 U.S.C. Section 111(d)(4); and (3)
advise the Director of BTS on methods
to encourage cooperation and
interoperability of transportation data
collected by BTS, the operating
administrations of DOT, States, local
governments, metropolitan planning
organizations, and private sector entities
