The committee is made up of NSPE's Professional Engineers in Private Practice, the American Counsel of Engineering Companies, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the Associated General Contractors and involves the participation of more than 15 other professional engineering design, construction, owner, legal, and risk management organizations.
