AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA is announcing a Cargo Tank Roundtable meeting to 
discuss safety issues relative to the highway transportation of 
hazardous materials in cargo tank motor vehicles. The intended audience 
of this meeting includes members of the cargo tank community, drivers, 
affected government agency representatives, and other interested 
parties. The agenda for the meeting includes reports from industry/
government groups currently working on previously identified safety 
issues, breakout sessions to address the progress and direction of 
these safety issues, and further discussions of other cargo tank safety 
related concerns.
    The purpose of the meeting is to develop partnerships with 
government, industry, and other persons in an attempt to gather 
information and comments on cargo tank safety and the prevention of 
accidents in these types of vehicles on our highways. Although the 
meeting will be open to the public, space will be extremely limited; 
therefore, the FHWA requests that persons interested in attending the 
meeting preregister by contacting the persons listed below at least one 
week in advance of the meeting. The agenda is an aggressive one and 
discussions will be limited due to time constraints; however, comments 
relative to this topic may be directed to the contact persons at the
