SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This study is being conducted partly in response to a legislative
proposal in the 103rd Congress, H.R. 4496, that would extend Federal
truck size and weight (TS&W) control to the National Highway System.
This bill, or similar legislation, could have a significant impact on
the public and private sectors and on the safety and efficiency of the
total transport system. The Study will summarize a wide array of
information on the many related aspects of TS&W policy. An extensive
set of policy questions are described in the notice published on
February 2, 1995, in the Federal Register at 60 FR 6587 announcing the
CTS&WS for which we are seeking public input.

The second meeting will be held on April 5 and 6, 1995, in
Washington, D.C. at the DOT Headquarters, Nassif Building located at

conjunction with the National Motor Carrier Advisory Committee meeting
being held in Washington, D.C. on April 4 and 5. The public meeting for
