Abstract: The collection is necessary to gather information from individuals interested in appointments to advisory committees and individuals who have been recommended for membership on an advisory committee to ensure that the committee is balanced and fairly and equitably represents, to the extent feasible, all the various interests that may be affected by the committee’s work and that undue weight not be afforded the views of any one interest, as required by the Federal Advisory Committee Act, P.L. 92-463. Responding to the collection is voluntary and is not required to obtain or retain a benefit. Respondents are members of the public who wish to serve on DOT committees. The collection is not for reporting or record-keeping. It is for disclosure of information to conduct a background check. The information is collected when they are first nominated and then upon re-appointment (if applicable). Disclosure of information is for conducting a background check. The information will be received by the Committee Management and contractor that will conduct the background check. The purpose of the collection is to vet any candidate that will serve on a DOT committee. This ICR is not a revision.
