SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 23009 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) (Pub. L.
117-58) requires the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) to establish the TLTF, which was set up in accordance with the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92-463 (1972). 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. TLTF will work in coordination with the United States
Department of Labor.
TLTF operates in accordance with FACA under the terms of the TLTF
charter, filed February 11, 2022, and amended April 28, 2023, and
renewed February 9, 2024.
II. Agenda

Bureau on its analysis of the leases submitted to FMCSA and their
implications on predatory leasing of trucks to drivers of commercial
motor vehicles;
<bullet> A presentation from the Drafting Subcommittee on
recommendations for TLTF's final report to FMCSA outlining its
recommendations on truck leasing agreements and TLTF's consideration of
these recommendations; and

lessees of CMVs to share their personal experiences with leases and
present any supporting information they would like to share to assist
TLTF in making recommendations on such agreements.
