Advisory Committee established by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation 
(the Secretary) in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
to provide information, advice, and recommendations to the Secretary 
and the Federal Transit Administrator on matters relating to the safety 
of public transportation systems. This charter will be effective for 
two years from the date of this Federal Register notice.
    Contact Information: For further information contact Thomas 
Littleton, TRACS Designated Federal Official, Associate Administrator,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is provided in accordance with 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463, 5 U.S.C. App. 2). 
As noted above, TRACS is a Federal Advisory Committee established to 
provide information, advice, and recommendations to the Secretary and 
the Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration on matters 
relating to the safety of public transportation systems. With the 
renewed charter, TRACS is renamed as the Transit Advisory Committee for 
Safety (for continuity the acronym will remain TRACS). The term 
``RAIL'' is omitted from the original title of the advisory committee 
to reflect the broader current mandate of TRACS to advise on all public 
transportation safety matters. In addition, TRACS is increased to 
approximately 29 members representing a broad base of expertise 
necessary to discharge its responsibilities. Please see the TRACS Web 
site for additional information at http://www.fta.dot.gov/about/13099.html.

Peter Rogoff,
Administrator.
