Notice of meeting; extension of comment period.
Summary
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) has proposed the establishment of a negotiated rulemaking advisory committee (the Committee) to examine the relevant issues and attempt to reach a consensus in developing regulations governing the collection of financial and operating data from motor carriers of property. Before making a final decision on formation of the Committee, BTS will hold a public meeting to help decide whether a negotiated rulemaking advisory committee is needed, and, if so, to help determine the appropriate Committee membership and issues for consideration. The meeting will be held Monday, February 10, 1997, 9:30 am to 3:00 pm, Eastern Standard Time. BTS is also extending the comment period on the proposal to establish the negotiated rulemaking committee, on the proposed membership of the Committee, and on the proposed issues for consideration by the Committee. Persons are invited to submit applications or nominations for membership on the Committee. The comment period is extended to February 28, 1997.
