Aviation Rulemaking Advisory
Committee—New Task
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of new task assignment
for the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory
Committee (ARAC).
AGENCY:
The FAA assigned the
Aviation Rulemaking Advisory
Committee (ARAC) a new task to
provide advice and recommendations to
the FAA about how to prioritize
rulemaking projects. This task
addresses, in part, one of the
Department of Transportation’s Future
of Aviation Advisory Committee
(FAAC) recommendations. This notice
informs the public of a new ARAC
activity and solicits membership for the
new Rulemaking Prioritization Working
Group.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The FAA established ARAC to
provide advice and recommendations to
the FAA Administrator on the FAA’s
rulemaking activities. ARAC’s objectives
are to improve the development of the
FAA’s regulations by providing

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 75 / Tuesday, April 19, 2011 / Notices
information, advice, and
recommendations related to aviation
issues.
On April 16, 2010, the Secretary of
the Department of Transportation
established the Future of Aviation
Advisory Committee (FAAC) to provide
information, advice and
recommendations to ensure the
competitiveness of the United States
aviation industry and its capability to
address the evolving transportation
needs, challenges and opportunities of
the United States and global economies.
As a result, the FAAC developed 23
recommendations which were
submitted on December 15, 2010. The
Rulemaking Prioritization Working
Group will specifically address, in part,
Recommendation #22: ‘‘The Secretary
should quickly review the existing
regulatory and safety initiative calendar
and provide parameters and criteria for
the FAA to prioritize its current and
future rulemaking program. This review
should include industry, or at a
minimum seek industry input, and the
results should be made publicly
available * * *.’’
The objective of the Rulemaking
Prioritization Working Group is to
provide advice and recommendations
on developing a framework and
methodologies to assist the FAA in
assessing and sequencing potential
rulemaking projects. The FAA will
provide the Rulemaking Prioritization
Working Group with a subset of issues
to test the prototype. These issues are
potential rulemaking projects from the
FAA’s four-year regulatory look-ahead.
When developing the prototype, the
working group should review models
and methodologies as references,
including the Commercial Aviation
Safety Team (CAST) methodology. In
1998, the FAA founded the CAST to
develop an integrated, data-driven
strategy to reduce the commercial
aviation fatality risk in the United States
and promote new government and
industry safety initiatives throughout
the world. The CAST methodology
identifies top safety areas through the
analysis of accident and incident data.
The working group should use the
CAST methodology as a reference and
not limit the criteria to safety. While
safety is a critical factor, the working
group should consider all drivers that
influence the need to consider
rulemaking; e.g., safety, capacity, cost,
environmental impacts, harmonization,
operations, and other needs.
The March 2011 ARAC Executive
Committee meeting included a
presentation of solicited ideas and
proposed actions for the Executive
Committee members to consider. This
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:19 Apr 18, 2011
Jkt 223001
notice advises the public that the FAA
has assigned, and the Executive
Committee has accepted, a task to
develop a report including
recommendations on how to prioritize
rulemaking projects.
The Task
The FAA has tasked the ARAC
working group to provide advice and
recommendations on developing a
framework and methodologies to assist
the FAA in assessing and sequencing
potential rulemaking projects.
The working group is expected to
develop a report containing
recommendations on how the agency
should prioritize rulemaking projects.
This report should document both
majority and minority positions on the
findings and the rationale for each
position. Any disagreements should be
documented, including the rationale for
each position and the reasons for the
disagreement. In developing its
recommendations, the working group
shall:
1. Review FAAC Recommendation
#22, which can be found at https://
www.dot.gov/faac/
FAAC_Recommendations.pdf.
2. Define a process to evaluate
rulemaking projects.
3. Evaluate and consider the
parameters and criteria of the risk
assessment methodology, ensuring the
most effective project receives the
highest priority. This includes
considering all drivers of rulemaking;
e.g., safety, capacity, cost,
environmental impacts, harmonization,
operations, and other needs.
4. Explore models and/or
methodologies that would be helpful in
developing the risk assessment
methodology. This includes reviewing
the CAST methodology, which can be
found at https://www.cast-safety.org/
index.cfm.
5. Develop a classification system to
rank rulemaking projects.
6. Develop a model to use as a
prototype and test it with the subset of
issues the FAA provides.
7. Consider ARAC’s role after the FAA
implements the rulemaking
prioritization methodology.
Schedule: The recommendations must
be forwarded to the ARAC Executive
Committee for review and approval no
later than December 2011. The working
group may be assigned additional tasks
leading to implementation of parameters
and criteria that will assist the FAA in
prioritizing its rulemaking program by
December 2012.

meeting of the ARAC Executive
Committee.
3. Draft the recommendation report
and required analyses and/or any other
related materials or documents.
4. Present the final recommendations
to the ARAC Executive Committee for
review and approval.
Participation in the Working Group
The Rulemaking Prioritization
Working Group will be comprised of
technical experts having an interest in
the assigned task. A working group
member need not be a representative or
a member of the full committee. The
FAA would like a wide range of
members to ensure all aspects of
rulemaking are considered in
development of the recommendations.
If you wish to become a member of
the Rulemaking Prioritization Working
Group, write the person listed under the

performance of duties imposed on the
FAA by law.
ARAC meetings are open to the
public. However, ARAC Rulemaking
Prioritization Working Group meetings
are not open to the public, except to the
