Telephone: 202-385-2422; e-mail *Stephanie.haller@fmcsa.dot.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Title:* Financial Responsibility for Motor Carriers of Passengers and Motor Carriers of Property. *OMB Control Number:* 2126-0008. *Type of Request:* Extension of a currently-approved information collection. *Respondents:* Insurance and surety companies of motor carriers of property (Forms MCS-90 and MCS-82) and motor carriers of passengers (Forms MCS-90B and MCS-82B). *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 143,728 [138,768 property carriers + 4,960 passengers carriers = 143,728]. *Estimated Time per Response:* The FMCSA estimates it takes two minutes for an insurance company to complete the Endorsement for Motor Carrier Policies of Insurances for Public Liability (Forms MCS-90/90B; for both property and passenger carriers) or the Motor Carrier Public Liability Surety Bond (Forms MCS-82/82B for both property and passenger carriers); one minute for the insurance company to file the Motor Carrier Public Liability Surety Bond (Forms MCS-82/82B) with FMCSA; one minute for the insurance company to provide Forms MCS-90/90B to the carrier; and one minute to place either document (Forms MCS-90/90B and MCS-82/82B) on board the vehicle (foreign-domiciled motor carriers only). These endorsements (Forms MCS-90/90B and MCS-82/82B) are maintained at the motor carrier's principal place of business (see 49 CFR 387.7(d)). *Expiration Date:* December 31, 2006. *Frequency of Response:* Upon creation, change, or replacement of an insurance policy or surety bond. *Estimated Total Annual Burden:* 4,529 hours [151.4 hours for motor carriers of passengers + 4,377.4 hours for motor carriers of property = 4,528.8 or rounded to the nearest hour 4,529]. Background The Secretary of Transportation is responsible for implementing regulations which establish the minimal levels of financial responsibility for:
(1)For-hire motor carriers of property to cover public liability, property damage, and environmental restoration, and
(2)for-hire motor carriers of passengers to cover public liability and property damage. The Endorsement for Motor Carrier Policies of Insurance for Public Liability (Forms MCS-90/90B) and the Motor Carrier Public Liability Surety Bond (Forms MCS-82/82B) contain the minimum amount of information necessary to document that a motor carrier of property or passengers has obtained, and has in effect, the minimum levels of financial responsibility as set forth in applicable regulations (motor carriers of property—49 CFR 387.9; and motor carrier of passengers—49 CFR 387.33). FMCSA and the public can verify that a motor carrier of property or passengers has obtained, and has in effect, the required minimum levels of financial responsibility, by use of the information embraced within these documents. *Public Comments Invited:* You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including:
(1)Whether the proposed collection is necessary for the FMCSA's performance;
(2)the accuracy of the estimated burden;
(3)ways for the FMCSA to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and
(4)ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information. Issued on: December 11, 2006. John H. Hill, Administrator. [FR Doc.

Further, some people may submit late comments and we recommend that you periodically check the docket for new material. We will consider late comments [75 days from publication]. Background The National Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council will serve as a forum to provide to NHTSA advice and recommendations on a broad range of issues related to EMS. The DOT has determined that the establishment of NEMSAC falls under the terms of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. II. A. Notice of Establishment of an Advisory Council In accordance with the requirements of FACA, an agency of the Federal Government cannot establish or utilize a group of people in the interest of obtaining consensus advice or recommendations unless that group is chartered as a Federal advisory committee. The purpose of this notice is to announce the establishment of an advisory committee to provide NHTSA advice and recommendations regarding a broad range of EMS issues. The Secretary has determined that the establishment of NEMSAC is necessary and in the public interest. B. Name of Committee National Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council. C. Purpose and Objective The NEMSAC will be a nationally recognized council of EMS representatives and consumers to provide advice and recommendations regarding EMS to NHTSA. The issues that NEMSAC will consider include: National EMS needs assessment and strategic planning; development of standards, guidelines, benchmarks, and data collection relating to EMS; development of methods for improving community-based EMS; strengthening EMS systems through enhanced workforce development, education, training, exercises, equipment, medical oversight; improved coordination and support of EMS activities among Federal programs; and other issues or topics as determined by NHTSA. The NEMSAC does not exercise program management or regulatory development responsibilities, and makes no decisions directly affecting the programs on which it provides advice. The NEMSAC provides a forum for the development, consideration, and communication of information from a knowledgeable and independent perspective of a strategy for advancing EMS systems nationwide. D. Balanced Membership Plans Advisory council members shall represent a cross-section of the diverse agencies, organizations, and individuals involved in EMS activities and programs in the U.S. The NEMSAC shall be composed of not more than 26 members, each of whom shall be appointed by the Secretary of Transportation. Twenty-four of these members will represent the perspectives of particular components of the EMS community. The Council's broad-based membership will assure that it has sufficient EMS system expertise and geographic and demographic diversity to accurately reflect the EMS community as a whole. NHTSA seeks applications and nominations for members within the EMS community from a wide array of national organizations and the public. Members will be selected for their individual expertise and to reflect a balanced representation of interests from across the EMS community, but no member will represent a specific organization. To the extent practical, the final council membership shall assure representation from the following: ➢ Volunteer EMS ➢ Fire-based (career) EMS ➢ Private (career non-fire) EMS ➢ Hospital-based EMS ➢ Tribal EMS ➢ Air Medical EMS ➢ Local EMS service director/administrators ➢ EMS Medical Directors ➢ Emergency Physicians ➢ Trauma Surgeons ➢ Pediatric Emergency Physicians ➢ State EMS Directors ➢ State Highway Safety Directors ➢ EMS Educators ➢ Public Safety Call-taker/Dispatcher
(911)➢ EMS Data Managers ➢ EMS Researchers ➢ Emergency Nurses ➢ Hospital Administration ➢ Public Health ➢ Emergency Management ➢ State Homeland Security Directors ➢ Consumers (not directly affiliated with an EMS or healthcare organization) ➢ State or local legislative bodies ( *e.g.* city/county councils; state legislatures) This document gives notice to potential participants of the process and affords them the opportunity to apply for membership on NEMSAC. The application procedure is set forth below. In addition, NHTSA invites commentors to suggest or nominate potential members. The NHTSA is aware that there are many more potential organizations and participants than there are membership positions on NEMSAC. It is important to recognize that interested parties who are not selected for NEMSAC membership can make valuable contributions to the work of NEMSAC in several ways. For example, the person or organization may request to be placed on the NEMSAC mailing list, submit written comments to the advisory council, and attend NEMSAC meetings. Time will be set aside during each meeting for the purpose of permitting public comment, consistent with NEMSAC's need for sufficient time to complete its deliberations. E. Applications for Membership Each application for membership or nomination to the advisory council must include the following:
(1)A brief resume or letter (no more than one page) demonstrating the applicant or nominee's knowledge of EMS projects or programs and why he or she is interested in serving on the advisory council (please note, resumes or letters will be posted in the public docket and therefore should not contain personal information such as date of birth, etc).
(2)The name of the applicant or nominee and which interest(s)/component(s) of the EMS community (identified above in Section D) he or she would represent.
(3)Evidence that the applicant or nominee represents those interest(s)/component(s) of the EMS community (identified above in Section D).
(4)A written commitment that the applicant or nominee would participate in good faith. Since all comments and/or applications for membership or nominations for membership on the advisory council will be posted on the Public Docket, we encourage you to include only that information you are willing to provide for the public docket and submit your application electronically using the docket number provided on this notice through the DOT online Document Management System found at: *http://dms.dot.gov/submit.* Every effort will be made to select advisory council members who are objective. A balanced membership is needed and weight will be given to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, geographical distribution, gender, minority status, organization, and expertise. Members of the advisory council may receive travel and per diem, as allowed by Federal regulations and U.S. Department of Transportation policy. F. Duration Two years from the establishment of the advisory council charter. Issued on: December 13, 2006. Mary E. Peters, Secretary. [FR Doc.
