supplementary information: NHTSA holds a regular, quarterly meeting to

the agency's vehicle regulatory program. Questions on aspects of the 
agency's research and development activities that related directly to 
ongoing regulatory actions should be submitted, as in the past, to the 
agency's Safety Performance Standards Office. The purpose of this 
meeting is to focus on those phases of NHTSA activities which are 
technical, interpretative or procedural in nature. Transcripts of these 
meetings will be available for public inspection in the DOT Docket in 
Washington, DC, within four weeks after the meeting. Copies of the 
transcript will then be available at ten cents a page, (length has 
varied from 100 to 150 pages) upon request to DOT Docket, Room PL-401,

to the public from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Questions to be answered at 
the quarterly meeting should be organized by categories to help us 
process the questions into an agenda form more efficiently. Sample 
format:
