SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department announces the renewal of the charter of the NACTTI
and solicits nominations for membership to serve on the Committee.
Pursuant to Section 1431 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation
(FAST) Act, the Secretary of Transportation established NACTTI on June
1, 2016 to provide information, advice, and recommendations to the
Secretary on matters relating to the role of intermodal transportation
in facilitating mobility related to travel and tourism activities.
These activities ignite the economic engine of American tourism,
strengthen domestic travel, and encourage American families to
rediscover the beauty, pride, and shared heritage of the United States
and support national celebrations and globally significant events
hosted on American soil (including major sporting and cultural events)
and help showcase the Nation's infrastructure, landscapes, and
communities as the United States commemorates the 250th anniversary of
the signing of the Declaration of Independence (``America 250'').
NACTTI advises the Secretary on current and emerging priorities,
issues, projects, and funding needs related to the use of the
intermodal transportation network of the United States to facilitate
travel and tourism; serves as a forum for discussion for travel and
tourism stakeholders on transportation issues affecting interstate and
interregional mobility of passengers; and gathers information, develops
technical advice, and makes recommendations to the Secretary on
policies that improve the condition and performance of an integrated
national transportation system that is safe, economical and efficient.
Members must actively participate in Committee deliberations and
contribute substantively to the Committee's work. Committee service
requires review of complex materials, participation in subcommittee
work, preparation for meetings outside of scheduled Committee sessions,
stakeholder consultations, online research, drafting of report content,
report preparation, and translating specialized knowledge into
actionable recommendations.
In this notice, the Department is soliciting nominations for
membership to the Committee. The Committee shall report to the
Secretary through the Assistant Secretary for Aviation and
International Affairs.
<bullet> NACTTI shall comprise no more than 15 members, each of
whom shall be appointed by the Secretary of Transportation for a 2-year
term. The membership shall include public and private sector
stakeholders including but not limited to travel and tourism industry,
product and service providers and related associations and marketing
organizations, the travel and tourism-related workforce, State tourism
offices and departments of transportation, and metropolitan planning
organizations and local governments, organizations with expertise in
intermodal connectivity for travel and tourism, and entities with
expertise in public-private-partnerships.
Additional factors that will be considered in the selection of
NACTTI members include candidates' proven experience in the strategic
development and management of travel, tourism, transportation-related
or other service-related organizations; or the candidate's proven
experience in promoting, developing, and implementing
[[Page 10198]]
advertising, marketing, or financial programs for travel, tourism or
transportation-related industries.
Priority may be given to a Chief Executive Officer, Executive
Director, or President (or comparable level of responsibility) of a
U.S. company, U.S. organization, or U.S. entity in the travel, tourism,
or transportation sectors.
Each NACTTI member shall serve as the representative of a U.S.
entity engaged in any of the above-listed activities.
Members shall serve in a representative capacity, representing the
views and interests of their particular industry subsector. NACTTI
members are not Special Government Employees, and will receive no
compensation for their participation in NACTTI activities. All NACTTI
meetings will be held virtually, and members participating in NACTTI
events will be responsible for their travel, living and other personal
expenses. Meetings will be held regularly and, to the extent practical,
at least once a year or more frequently as is determined necessary.
Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations: Qualified
individuals can self-nominate or be nominated by any individual or
organization. To be considered for the DOT NACTTI, nominators should
submit the following information:
1. Name, title, and relevant contact information (including
telephone, fax, and email address) of the individual under
consideration;
2. A letter of support or recommendation letter, on letterhead,
from a company, union, trade or membership association, or non-profit
organization containing a brief description of why the nominee should
be considered for membership;
3. A one-page biography summarizing the applicant's unique
experiences and qualifications, any professional and academic
credentials, experience serving on advisory committees, and the
reason(s) why he or she would like to join NACTTI.
4. An affirmative statement that the nominee meets all Committee
eligibility requirements.
Please do not send company, trade association, organization
brochures or any other promotional information. Materials submitted
should total 2 pages or less. Should more information be needed, DOT
staff will contact the nominee, obtain information from the nominee's
past affiliations, or obtain information from publicly available
sources, such as the internet.
Nominations must be received before April 1, 2026. Nominees
selected for appointment to the Committee will be notified by return
email and by a letter of appointment.
