SUMMARY: This notice announces the third meeting of the Crashworthiness 
Subcommittee of the Motor Vehicle Safety Research Advisory Committee 
(MVSRAC). The MVSRAC established this subcommittee at the April 1992 
meeting to examine research questions regarding crashworthiness of 
vehicles under 10,000 pounds GVW.

DATE AND TIME: The meeting is scheduled for March 21, 1994, from 10:30 
a.m. to 4 p.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In May 1987, the Motor Vehicle Safety 
Research Advisory Committee was established. The purpose of the 
Committee is to provide an independent source of ideas for safety 
research. The MVSRAC will provide information, advice, and 
recommendations to NHTSA on matters relating to motor vehicle safety 
research, and provide a forum for the development, consideration, and 
communication of motor vehicle safety research, as set forth in the 
MVSRAC Charter.
    At the first meeting of the Crashworthiness Subcommittee on 
November 16, 1992, a Biomechanics Working Group and an Aggressivity and 
Compatibility Working Group were established to carry on a technical 
information exchange of ongoing research with the goal of presenting 
advice to the Crashworthiness Subcommittee.
    This meeting of the Crashworthiness Subcommittee will include 
status reports by the Biomechanics Working Group and the Aggressivity 
and Compatibility Working Group as well as an update on related NHTSA 
biomechanics and crashworthiness research programs and progress.
    The meeting is open to the public, and participation by the public 
will be determined by the Subcommittee Chairman.
    A public reference file (Number 88-01--Crashworthiness 
Subcommittee) has been established to contain the products of the
