                I. Background
                 The NEMSAC was established pursuant to Section 31108 of the Moving

                on DOT's national EMS activities. NEMSAC also provides advice and
                recommendations to the FICEMS. NEMSAC is authorized under Section 31108
                of the MAP-21 Act of 2012.

                14:45 to 15:00 EST. The U.S. Department of Transportation is committed
                to providing equal access to this meeting for all participants. If you
                need alternative formats or services because of a disability, such as

                 There will be five (5) minutes allotted for oral comments from
                members of the public joining the meeting. To accommodate as many
                speakers as possible, the time for each commenter may be limited.
                Individuals wishing to reserve speaking time during the meeting must
                submit a request at the time of registration, as well as the name,
                address, and organizational affiliation of the proposed speaker. If the
                number of registrants requesting to make statements is greater than can
                be reasonably accommodated during the meeting, the NHTSA OEMS may
                conduct a lottery to determine the speakers. Speakers are requested to
                submit a written copy of their prepared remarks for inclusion in the
                meeting records and for circulation to NHTSA members. All prepared
                remarks submitted on time will be accepted and considered as part of
                the record. Any member of the public may present a written statement to
                the committee at any time.
