    MCSAC was established to provide FMCSA with advice and
recommendations on motor carrier safety programs and motor carrier
safety regulations. MCSAC is composed of 20 voting representatives from
safety advocacy, safety enforcement, labor, and industry stakeholders
of motor carrier safety. The diversity of the Committee ensures the
requisite range of views and expertise necessary to discharge its
responsibilities. The Committee operates as a discretionary committee
under the authority of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT),
established in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. App. 2. See FMCSA's MCSAC
