[[Page 6049]]

    12. Airport-based businesses (including minority-owned small 
businesses).
    13. Passenger advocacy groups.
    14. Businesses that conduct security operations at airports 
(Screening Partnership Program contractors).
    15. Labor organizations representing transportation security 
officers.
    16. Airport construction and maintenance contractors.
    17. Labor organizations representing employees of airport 
construction and maintenance contractors.
    18. Privacy organizations.
    19. Aeronautical repair stations.
    ASAC 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 shall be 
represented by one individual. Members will serve as representatives 
and speak on behalf of their respective constituency group, and will 
not be appointed as Special Government Employees as defined in 18 
U.S.C. 202(a). Membership on the Committee is personal to the appointee 
and a member may not send an alternate to a Committee meeting. Pursuant 
to 49 U.S.C 44946(c)(3) members shall not receive pay, allowances, or 
benefits from the Government by reason of their service on the 
Committee.

Committee Meetings

    The Committee typically convenes four times per year; however, 
additional meetings may be held with the approval of the 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, members are 
expected to participate on ASAC subcommittees that typically meet more 
frequently to deliberation and discuss specific aviation matters.

Committee Membership

    Committee members are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the 
Administrator of TSA for a two-year duration with ``staggered terms.'' 
Staggered terms means that approximately one-half of the Committee 
members' terms expire in alternating years. This ensures continuity and 
consistency for the Committee. In the year of transition to staggered 
terms, approximately one-half of the members will be appointed to one-
year terms and the other half to two-year terms. In the following year 
and thereafter, all appointments will be for terms of two years.

Application for Advisory Committee Appointment

    Any person wishing to be considered for appointment to ASAC 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 Responsible TSA Official in 
ADDRESSES noted above by March 5, 2018.
