security directives pertaining to surface transportation security.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Henry Budhram, Jr., STSAC Designated
Federal Official, Transportation Security Administration (TSA-28), 601
12th St. South, Arlington, VA 20598-4028, STSAC@tsa.dhs.gov, 571-227-
4268.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The STSAC is an advisory committee
established pursuant to section 1969, Division K, TSA Modernization
Act, of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115-254, 132 Stat.
3186, Oct. 5, 2018). The statute exempts the Committee, and any
subcommittees, from the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.).
Membership
The STSAC will be composed of no more than 40 voting members from
among stakeholders representing each mode of surface transportation,
such as passenger rail, freight rail, mass transit, pipelines,
highways, over-the-road bus, school bus industry, and trucking; and may
include representatives from--
1. Associations representing such modes of surface transportation;
2. Labor organizations representing such modes of surface
transportation;
3. Groups representing the users of such modes of surface
transportation, including asset manufacturers, as appropriate;
4. Relevant law enforcement, first responders, and security
experts; and
5. Such other groups as the Administrator considers appropriate.
The STSAC will also include nonvoting members, serving in an
[[Page 3482]]
advisory capacity, who will be designated by TSA; the Department of
Transportation; the Coast Guard; and such other Federal department or
agency as the Administrator considers appropriate.
The STSAC does not have a specific number of members allocated to
any membership category and the number of members in a category may
change to fit the needs of the Committee, but each organization will be
represented by one individual. Members will serve as representatives
and speak on behalf of their respective constituency group. Membership
on the Committee is personal to the appointee and a member may not send
an alternate to a Committee meeting.
Committee members are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the
Administrator of TSA for a term of two years. The members of the
Committee will not receive any compensation from the Government by
reason of their service on the Committee.
Committee Meetings
The Committee will typically convene two times per year; additional
meetings may be held with the approval of the Committee Chairman and
Designated Federal Official. Due to the sensitive nature of the
material discussed, meetings are typically closed to the public. At
least one meeting will be open to the public each year. In addition,
STSAC members will be expected to participate on STSAC subcommittees
that may meet more frequently for deliberation and to discuss specific
surface transportation matters.
Application for Advisory Committee Appointment
Any person wishing to be considered for appointment to STSAC must
provide the following:
Complete professional resume.
Statement of interest and reasons for application,
including the membership category and how you represent a significant
portion of that constituency.
Home and work addresses, telephone number, and email
address.
Please submit your application to the Designated Federal Official
in ADDRESSES noted above by March 14, 2019. TSA may need to request
additional information necessary for review of the application and
completion of background check(s).
Dated: February 6, 2019.
Eddie D. Mayenschein,
Assistant Administrator, Policy, Plans, and Engagement.
