SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    MRB was created under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) in 
accordance with section 4116 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, 
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users \1\ to provide 
FMCSA ``with medical advice and recommendations on medical standards 
and guidelines for the physical qualifications of operators of 
commercial motor vehicles, medical examiner education, and medical 
research'' (49 U.S.C. 31149(a)(1)). MRB operates in accordance with 
FACA under the terms of the MRB charter, filed November 25, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Public Law 109-59, 119 Stat. 1144, 1726 (2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Agenda

    The MRB will complete its review of test questions to be used to 
determine eligibility of healthcare professionals to be certified as 
medical examiners and be listed on the National Registry of Certified 
Medical Examiners. MRB began this review at its September 14, 2022, 
meeting.

III. Public Participation

    The meeting will be closed to the public due to the discussion of 
specific test questions to be used to certify medical examiners, which 
are not available for release to the public. Premature disclosure of 
secure test information would compromise the integrity of the 
examination and therefore exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of Title 5 
of the United States Code justifies closing this portion of the meeting 
pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.155(a).

Larry W. Minor,
Associate Administrator for Policy.
