I. Background

MCSAC

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 the MCSAC. The MCSAC 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).

CSA Task

    During the MCSAC's August 27-29, 2012, meeting, FMCSA requested 
that a subcommittee be established to provide an ongoing series of 
letter reports to the Agency presenting prioritized recommendations the 
Agency should pursue, with supporting data, to improve the CSA Program. 
Procedurally, the subcommittee would present its recommendations to the 
full MCSAC for review and discussion with the final reports submitted 
to the Agency.
    The subcommittee held its first meeting October 16-17, 2012. A 
second meeting was held on December 5, 2012. The February 5-6, 2013, 
meeting is the third subcommittee meeting.
