Background

    The MSTRS is a federal advisory committee chartered under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92-463. The MSTRS 
provides the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (CAAAC) with independent 
advice, counsel and recommendations on the scientific and technical 
aspects of programs related to mobile source air pollution and its 
control.
    Through its expert members from diverse stakeholder groups and from 
its various workgroups, the Subcommittee reviews and addresses a wide 
range of developments, issues and research areas such as emissions 
modeling, emission standards and standard setting, air toxics, 
innovative and incentive-based transportation policies, heavy-duty 
engines, diesel retrofit, and fuel quality. The Subcommittee's website 
is at: http://www.epa.gov/caaac/mobile-sources-technical-review-subcommittee-mstrs-caaac.
    Members are appointed by the EPA Administrator for three-year terms 
with the possibility of reappointment to a second term. The MSTRS 
usually meets two times annually and the average workload for the 
members is approximately 5 to 10 hours per month. EPA provides 
reimbursement for travel and other incidental expenses associated with 
official government business for members who qualify.
    EPA is seeking nominations from representatives of nonfederal

     Mobile source emission modeling interests
     Transportation and supply chain shippers
     Marine and inland port interests
     Environmental advocacy groups
     Mobile source consumer advocacy groups

Committees. In an effort to obtain nominations of diverse candidates,
