SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    MCSAC was established to provide FMCSA with advice and 
recommendations on motor carrier safety programs and motor carrier 
safety regulations. MCSAC is composed of up to 20 voting 
representatives from safety advocacy, safety enforcement, labor, and 
industry stakeholders of motor carrier safety. The diversity of the 
Committee ensures the requisite range of views and expertise necessary 
to discharge its responsibilities. The Committee operates as a 
discretionary committee under the authority of the U.S. Department of 
Transportation (DOT), established in accordance with the provisions of 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. App. 2. 
See FMCSA's MCSAC Web site for additional information about the 
committee's activities at https://mcsac.fmcsa.dot.gov/.

Voluntary Compliance Task

    The truck and motorcoach industries and the DOT have invested 
significant resources to research, develop, and test strategies and 
technologies to reduce truck and bus crashes. In September 2014, the 
Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance submitted a request to FMCSA to 
consider initiating a pilot program to investigate the benefits and 
feasibility of voluntary compliance. Citing research that has been 
underway for several years, the Agency established an Alternative 
Compliance initiative the goal of which is to analyze the concept and 
gather data to support how this concept might be developed and 
implemented. The Agency will request that the MCSAC, with its 
collective expertise on transportation safety, identify options for the 
motor carrier safety community to promote programs that could improve 
safety beyond the standards established in FMCSA regulations.
