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

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
