AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of meeting/forum.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA's Office of Analysis, Research, and Technology (ART) 
invites interested persons to participate in a forum regarding updating 
it's 5-Year Strategic Plan (2010-2015). FMCSA is seeking input from 
industry leaders via two public Stakeholder Forums in order to identify 
and discuss key safety related challenges and opportunities facing the 
motor carrier industry, and to solicit ideas on research objectives 
that FMCSA should consider in developing it's strategic plan--as well 
as on potential projects and programs that would help meet those safety 
research objectives. As a participant in the forum, attendees will have 
an opportunity to comment on the proposed mission, vision and strategic 
objectives (goals) for the 5-Year Strategic Plan, and provide any 
additional insights they feel will be important to the FMCSA.
