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.
Pursuant to Section 9(a)(2) of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), and in accordance with 41 CFR
102–3.65, and following consultation
with the Committee Management
Secretariat, General Services
Administration, notice is hereby given
that the MAC will be established for up
to a 2-year period.
The MAC shall comprise not more
than 10 members appointed by the
Secretary of Transportation for terms of
up to 2 years. Members serve at the
pleasure of the Secretary. The Secretary
may extend appointments and may
appoint replacements for members who
have resigned outside of a stated term,
as necessary. Members may continue to
serve until their replacements have been
appointed.
The MAC seeks to have a fairly
balanced membership with expertise in
highway engineering, safety analysis,
and motorcycling. Specifically, the
following are the categories of members
that shall be included in the MAC:
(1) Experts from State/local
government in highway engineering
issues, including:
(A) Barrier design;
(B) Road design, construction,
maintenance; and/or
(C) Intelligent Transportation
Systems;
(2) State/local traffic and safety
engineers, design engineers, or other

crash testing/analysis; and
(5) A member of a national safety
organization that represents the traffic
safety systems industry.
This document gives notice of this
process to potential participants and
affords them the opportunity to request
representation on the MAC. The
procedure for requesting such
representation is set out below. The
FHWA is aware that there are many
more potential organizations and
participants than there are membership
slots on the MAC. Organizations and
participants should be prepared to
support their participation on the MAC.
It is important to recognize that
interested parties who are not selected
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
to membership on the MAC can make
valuable contributions to the work of
the MAC in any of several ways.
Interested persons shall be permitted to
attend, appear before, or file statements
with any advisory committee, subject to
such reasonable rules or regulations as
the Administrator may prescribe.
Any member of the public is welcome
to attend the MAC meetings, and, as
provided in FACA, speak to the MAC.
Time will be set aside during each
meeting for this purpose, consistent
with the MAC’s need for sufficient time
to complete its deliberations.
The MAC meetings will be held
approximately twice per Federal fiscal
year, once in-person and once by web
conference. Notice of each meeting shall
be published in the Federal Register at
least 15 calendar days prior to the date
of the meeting. The meeting agenda and
all relevant meeting information will be
posted in advance of each meeting on
the Web site (https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/
motorcycles).
Every effort will be made to select
MAC members who are objective and
support the functions to be performed
by the MAC. A balance is needed and
weight is given to a variety of factors
including, but not limited to,
geographical distribution, gender,
minority status, organization, and
expertise. Some MAC members may be
appointed as Special Government
Employees and will be subject to certain
ethical restrictions, and such members
will be required to submit certain
information in connection with the
appointment process. With the
exception of travel and per diem for
official travel, members will serve
without compensation.
A potential member may selfnominate or be nominated by an
interested organization. Each
nomination for membership should
submit a letter of application that
includes the following:
(1) The name, title, and relevant
contact information (including phone
and email address) of the nominee;
(2) a brief statement detailing interest
for involvement in the MAC;
(3) A brief professional summary or
´
´
resume, including years of experience;
relevant professional experience;
geographic representation; and
examples of previous leadership role in
related committees, organizations, or
advisory panels;

the subject matter categories described
above;

information be needed, DOT staff will
contact the nominee, obtain information
from the nominee’s past affiliations, or
obtain information from publicly
available sources, such as the Internet.
Nominations may be emailed to MACFHWA@dot.gov or mailed to the
attention of Michael Griffith, Federal
Highway Administration, Office of
Safety, Room E71–312, 1200 New Jersey
Ave. SE., Washington, DC 20590.
Nominations must be received by
February 23, 2017. Nominees selected
for appointment to the MAC will be
notified by return email and by a letter
of appointment.
A selection team comprising
representatives from DOT offices will
review the nomination packages. The
Federal Highway Administrator will
submit a list of recommended
candidates to the Secretary of
Transportation for review and selection
of MAC members. The selection team
will make recommendations regarding
membership to the Secretary of
Transportation through the Federal
Highway Administrator based on
criteria including: (1) Professional or
academic expertise, experience, and
knowledge relevant to the MAC
activities described above; (2) the
member categories described above; and
(3) availability and willingness to serve.

mental or physical handicap, marital
status, or sexual orientation. To ensure
that recommendations to the Secretary
take into account the needs of the
diverse groups served by DOT,
membership shall include, to the extent
practicable, individuals with
demonstrated ability to represent
minorities, women, and persons with
disabilities.
