SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The MSTRS is a federal advisory committee chartered under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92-463. The MSTRS 
provides the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (CAAAC) with independent 
advice, counsel and recommendations on the scientific and technical 
aspects of programs related to mobile source air pollution and its 
control.
    Through its expert members from diverse stakeholder groups and from 
its various workgroups, the subcommittee reviews and addresses a wide 
range of developments, issues and research areas such as emissions 
modeling, emission standards and standard setting, air toxics, 
innovative and incentive-based transportation policies, onboard 
diagnostics, heavy-duty engines, diesel retrofit, and fuel quality. The 
Subcommittee's website is at: http://www.epa.gov/caaac/mobile-sources-technical-review-subcommittee-mstrs-caaac.
    Members are appointed by the EPA Administrator for three-year terms 
with the possibility of reappointment to a second term. The MSTRS 
usually meets two times annually and the average workload for the 
members is approximately 5 to 10 hours per month. EPA provides 
reimbursement for travel and other incidental expenses associated with 
official government business for members who qualify.
    EPA is seeking nominations from representatives of nonfederal 
interests such as:

 Future transportation options and shared mobility interests
 Mobile source emission modeling interests
 Transportation and supply chain shippers
 Marine and inland port interests
 Environmental advocacy groups
 Community and/or environmental justice interests
 State and local government interests
    EPA values and welcomes diversity. To obtain nominations of diverse 
candidates, EPA encourages nominations of women and men of all racial 
and ethnic groups.
    In selecting members, we will consider technical expertise, 
coverage of broad stakeholder perspectives, diversity and the needs of 
the subcommittee.
    The following criteria will be used to evaluate nominees:
     The background and experiences that would help members 
contribute to the diversity of perspectives on the committee (e.g., 
geographic, economic, social, cultural, educational, and other 
considerations);
     Experience in policy engagement across a range of mobility 
source transportation topics;
