The Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (Marad) will hold a webinar-based (online) public meeting of the Maritime Transportation System National Advisory Committee (MTSNAC) on Sept. 29.

The meeting will discuss recommendations for the U.S. Department of Transportation on maritime transportation system-related issues.

The agenda will include: public comment; subcommittee presentations of final recommendations followed by member’s questions and answers; full MTSNAC committee will make consensus-driven decisions on the
recommendations; and a discussion about next steps for the committee under the current charter, which includes identifying implementation strategies for the recommendations moved forward.

A detailed agenda will be posted on the MTSNAC website at https://www.maritime.dot.gov/outreach/maritime-transportation-system-mts/marinetransportation-system-national-advisory-committee at least one week in advance of the meeting.
