Comment filed on behalf of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safey. In the notice announcing the final disposition for this docket, 73 FR 48273 (Aug. 18, 2008), FMCSA states that the agency received a "public comment challenging the validity" of two applications, one of which is pending further investigation. However, the electronic docket does not include a public comment that includes information challenging the applications of Mr. Huffman and Mr. Lappan. It appears that the "public comment" has been withheld or removed from the docket. Advocates objects to FMCSA witholding public comments from the record. The information submitted as a public comment should be available for public review.
