SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
ACHT was re-chartered on July 29, 2022, using the Department's
authorities under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) (Pub. L. 117-
58). The ACHT was initially established as mandated by Sec. 5(a) of the
2018 Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act (Pub. L.
115-99). Sec. 23020 of the BIL requires the Secretary of
Transportation, acting through the ACHT and in coordination with the
Attorney General, to submit a triennial counter-trafficking report with
recommendations for countering human trafficking, an assessment of best
practices by transportation stakeholders, and human trafficking
violations involving commercial motor vehicles.
II. Agenda
At the October 3, 2023 meeting, the agenda will cover the following
topics:
<bullet> Welcome and Introductions
<bullet> ACHT Overview and Requirements
<bullet> DOT's Counter-Trafficking Efforts
<bullet> Public Participation
<bullet> Subcommittees, Next Steps, and Timeline
A final agenda that includes a virtual participation link will be
posted on the ACHT internet website at <a href="https://www.transportation.gov/stophumantrafficking/acht">https://www.transportation.gov/stophumantrafficking/acht</a> at least one week in advance of the meeting.
III. Public Participation
The hybrid meeting will be open to the public in-person and
virtually. Members of the public who wish to attend are asked to

registrants requesting to make statements is greater than can be
reasonably accommodated during the meeting, the Office of the Secretary
may conduct a lottery to determine the speakers. Speakers are requested
to submit a written copy of their prepared remarks by 5:00 p.m. EDT on
September 25, 2023, for inclusion in the meeting records and for
circulation to ACHT members. Written comments timely

submitted from those participants not selected to speak will be
accepted and considered as part of the meeting record.
Persons who wish to submit written comments for consideration by
ACHT during the meeting must submit them no later than 5:00 p.m. EDT on
September 25, 2023, to ensure transmission to ACHT prior to the
meeting. Comments received after that date and time will be distributed
to the members but may not be reviewed prior to the meeting.
Copies of the meeting minutes will be available on the ACHT
internet website at <a href="https://www.transportation.gov/stophumantrafficking/acht">https://www.transportation.gov/stophumantrafficking/acht</a>.
