ACTION: Notice of continuing a task
assignment for the Aviation Rulemaking
Advisory Committee (ARAC).
AGENCY:
The FAA assigned the
Aviation Rulemaking Advisory
Committee (ARAC) a continuing task to
provide advice and recommendations to
the FAA about implementing a process
for prioritizing 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 continuing
ARAC activity and does not solicit
membership for the existing Rulemaking
Prioritization Working Group (RPWG).

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
information, advice, and
recommendations related to aviation
issues.
In April 2011, the FAA tasked ARAC
to provide advice and recommendations
on developing a framework and
methodologies to assist the FAA in
assessing and sequencing potential

rulemaking projects.1 The FAA
provided the RPWG with a set of issues
to test the framework and
methodologies. The RPWG conducted
its task from June to December 2011 and
submitted recommendations to ARAC
on December 14, 2011. ARAC accepted
the recommendations on December 16,
2011 and forwarded them to the FAA.
The entire recommendation report can
be found at: https://www.faa.gov/
regulations_policies/rulemaking/
committees/arac/.
The March 2012 ARAC Executive
Committee meeting included a
discussion of continuing the task to
further test the RPWG’s methodology.
This notice advises the public that the
FAA has assigned, and the ARAC
Executive Committee has accepted, the
task to test the methodology and to
develop a report including
recommendations explaining the
results.
The Task
The FAA has tasked the RPWG to
provide advice and recommendations to
further test the recommended
methodology.
The RPWG is expected to develop a
report containing recommended
changes to the methodology. 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 RPWG shall:
1. Review the RPWG Phase I
Recommendation Report.
2. Test the methodology and the tools
using a subset of completed rulemakings
provided by the FAA.
3. Develop measurable scoring
evaluation to evaluate projects against
each other.
4. Evaluate the results of the test and
refine the process and the tools
accordingly.
Schedule: The recommendations must
be forwarded to the ARAC Executive
Committee for review and approval no
later than September 2012. The RPWG

ARAC Acceptance of Task
The ARAC Executive Committee has
accepted the continuing task using
members of the existing RPWG. The
RPWG serves as staff to ARAC and
assists in the analysis of the assigned
task. ARAC must review and approve
the RPWG’s recommendations. If ARAC
accepts the working group’s
recommendations, it will send them to
the FAA.
Working Group Activity
The RPWG must comply with the
procedures adopted by ARAC. As part
of the procedures, the RPWG must:
1. Recommend a work plan for
completion of the task, including the
rationale supporting such a plan, for
consideration at the next ARAC
Executive Committee meeting held
following publication of this notice.
2. Provide a status report at each
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 existing RPWG is 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.
All existing RPWG members who
choose to participate in this task must
actively participate by attending all
meetings, and providing written
comments when requested to do so.
Each member must devote the resources
necessary to support the working group
in meeting any assigned deadlines. Each
member must keep their management
chain, and those they may represent,
advised of working group activities and
decisions to ensure the proposed
technical solutions do not conflict with
their sponsoring organization’s position
when the subject is presented to ARAC
for approval. Once the RPWG has begun
deliberations, members will not be
added or substituted without the
