Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590, (202) 360-2925, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d2bfa0b092b6bda6fcb5bda4"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="670a15052703081349000811">[email protected]</span></a>. Any

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.
