45 Appendix B Committee for Review of USDOT Truck Size and Weight Study Statement of Task An ad hoc committee will provide a peer review of a comprehensive truck size and weight study that Congress required the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to conduct. The review will include two letter reports. The first will review âdesk scan reportsâ (literature reviews) prepared by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) based on their thoroughness in reviewing the existing literature, analysis of existing models and data for conducting the comprehensive study, and overall synthesis of the preceding body of work as it applies to the study that is to follow. The desk scans are expected to be available for committee review in AugustâSeptember 2013. Once FHWA has completed the technical analysis for the study in March 2014, the committee will prepare and issue its second and final report, commenting on the extent to which the technical analysis and findings address the issues identified by Congress. The committeeâs second letter report will be due by May 1, 2014.
