Background AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Notice of new task assignment for the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC). 17:21 Jul 14, 2009 Nature of special permit thereof SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee—New Task VerDate Nov<24>2008 Regulation(s) affected The FAA established ARAC to provide advice and recommendations to the FAA Administrator on the FAA’s rulemaking activities with respect to aviation-related issues. This includes obtaining advice and recommendations on 14 CFR part 136—Commercial Air Tours and National Parks Air Tour Management. In March 2007, a helicopter, operating under part 135 as an air tour flight, crashed while trying to land in Hawaii. Due to this crash, NTSB, on June 12, 2008, issued two safety recommendations to the FAA that identify the need for a maintenance quality assurance system and maintenance training for commercial air tour operations. The two safety recommendations are as follows: PO 00000 Frm 00098 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1. A–08–32: Require that all air tour operators (14 CFR parts 91 and 135) establish and maintain a system for continuously analyzing the performance and effectiveness of their inspection and maintenance program to ensure that all maintenance is performed with the utmost regard for quality and safety. 2. A–08–33: Require air tour operators to provide formal, model specific helicopter maintenance training for their mechanics to ensure an adequate level of competency. FAA’s review of NTSB’s safety recommendations further identifies the need for a required inspection program for all commercial air tour operations. Current FAA regulations require that air carriers operating under parts 121 and 135 (with aircraft type certificated for a passenger seating configuration, excluding any pilot seat, of ten seats or more) for the purpose of conducting air tours are required to have a maintenance quality assurance system, a maintenance training program and a required inspection program. However, similar requirements do not exist for aircraft operated under parts 91 and 135 (with aircraft type certificated for a passenger seating configuration, E:\FR\FM\15JYN1.SGM 15JYN1
