SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The TLTF was created under the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) in accordance with section 23009 of the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (BIL) (Pub. L. 117-58), which requires the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to establish the TLTF. The
TLTF will examine the terms, conditions, and equitability of common
truck leasing arrangements, particularly as they impact owner-operators
and trucking businesses subject to such agreements and submit a report
on the task force's identified issues and conclusions regarding truck
leasing arrangements, including recommended best practices, to the
Secretary, the Secretary of Labor, and the appropriate committees of
Congress. The TLTF will work in coordination with, and be informed by,
the United States Department of Labor.
The TLTF operates in accordance with FACA under the terms of the
TLTF charter, filed February 11, 2022.
II. Agenda
The agenda will cover the following topics:
<bullet> An ethics briefing for FACA members;
<bullet> A discussion of ground rules for meetings (including
logistics and meeting etiquette);
<bullet> A review of BIL requirements for topics/issues the TLTF
must discuss;
<bullet> A discussion of the schedule for future meetings (virtual
and hybrid, possibly), data needs/requests to support deliberations,
guest presenters, etc.;
<bullet> Initial deliberations and discussion on the required list
of BIL items.
III. Public Participation
The meeting will be open to the public via virtual platform.
Advance registration via the website is required.
