The Automobile Competition Committee for the United States (ACCUS) is an umbrella organization of auto racing sanctioning bodies in the United States. It is the official liaison of U.S. sanctioning bodies to the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile. It was founded in 1955 to take over FIA representation when the American Automobile Association withdrew from racing and dissolved the AAA Contest Board.^[1] ACCUS processes international competition licenses for drivers in the U.S. and provides homologation and record keeping.
