    SUMMARY: The FHWA announces the meeting date of an advisory committee 
    (the Committee) established under the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
    and the Negotiated Rulemaking Act to consider the relevant issues and 
    attempt to reach a consensus in developing regulations governing the 
    proposed merger of the State-administered commercial driver's license 
    (CDL) procedures of 49 CFR Part 383 and the driver physical 
    qualifications requirements of 49 CFR Part 391. The Committee is 
    composed of persons who represent the interests that would be 
    substantially affected by the rule.
        The FHWA believes that public participation is critical to the 
    success of this proceeding. Participation at meetings is not limited to 
    Committee members. Negotiation sessions are open to the public, so 
    interested parties may observe the negotiations and communicate their 
    views in the appropriate time and manner to Committee members.
        For a listing of Committee members, see the notice published on 
    July 23, 1996, 61 FR 38133. Please note that the United Motorcoach 
    Association and the American Bus Association will serve as full members 
    of the Committee. For additional background information on this 
    negotiated rulemaking, see the notice published on April 29, 1996, at 
    61 FR 18713.
    
    DATES: The sixth meeting of the advisory committee will begin at 9:30 
    a.m. on March 24-25, 1997.
