SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Aviation Rulemaking Advisory
Committee (ARAC) was established in
February 1991 to provide FAA’s
Administrator with industry and public
input in the form of information, advice,
and recommendations to be considered
in the full range of FAA rulemaking
activities. These factors are consistent
with the dictates of the Administrative
Procedures Act (APA). The exchange of
ideas that occurs through the ARAC
process affords the FAA additional
opportunities to obtain firsthand
information and insight from those
parties who are most affected by
existing and proposed regulations.
ARAC consists of approximately 55
member organizations selected by the
FAA as most representative of the
various viewpoints of those impacted by
FAA regulations. The organizations
provide a membership fairly balanced in
terms of points of view of those
represented and the functions to be
performed by the committee. The
committee is composed of organizations
representing air carriers, airports, flight
attendants, manufacturers, pilots, public
interest and advocacy groups, repair
stations, and consumer groups.
Members serve in a representative
capacity. In addition, an Executive
Committee (ExCom) was formed to
provide overall administrative oversight
for committee activities. The ExCom
consists of the ARAC Chair and Vice
Chair, who serve as chairperson and
vice chairperson, respectively for
ExCom; assistant chairpersons
representing aeronautical technical
subject areas (presently, air carrier
operations, maintenance, occupant
safety, general aviation certification and
operations, noise, aircraft certification,
airport certification, transport airplane
and engine, rotorcraft, and training and
qualifications) with active projects only
in transport airplane and engine, and air
carrier operations.
The goal of ARAC is to assemble the
strongest expertise possible to address
particular issues facing the aviation
industry and traveling public. The
committee conducts its business in open
deliberations in the form of public
meetings (working groups are
exempted). As an advisory body, ARAC
has consistently exercised its
independence and freedom to provide
the FAA recommendations that are not
influenced or predetermined by the
government. Since 1998, ARAC has
submitted more than 110 documented
recommendations or products to the
E:\FR\FM\03MRN1.SGM
03MRN1
11846
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 42 / Thursday, March 3, 2011 / Notices
FAA that have contributed significantly
to the agency’s ability to meet its
regulatory obligations.
In recent years, the level of effort in
ARAC has been reduced to the point
that the FAA believes it may be
appropriate to reorganize the committee
in order to align the structure more
closely with its current level of effort
while maintaining its effectiveness. The
FAA is considering reconstituting a new
ARAC that reduces the over-arching
layer of 55 members to a maximum of
25, eliminates the Executive Committee,
while continuing to achieve balance
across the broad spectrum of aviation
stakeholders and interests. The FAA
invites interested persons to participate
in this request for comments by
submitting written comments, data, or
views. The most helpful comments
clearly explain the reason for any
position.
