SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In response to Section 363 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 
(``the Act''), the FAA Administrator established the Commercial Air 
Tour ARC on January 14, 2025,\1\ to review and develop findings and 
recommendations to increase the safety of commercial air tours. 
Furthermore, the Act requires the Administrator to issue a notice of 
proposed rulemaking establishing increasing safety regulations for 
commercial air tour operators based on the recommendations of the ARC. 
Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.) section 106(p)(5) 
authorizes the FAA Administrator to establish an ARC. It is exempt from 
the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.

    An ARC provides the FAA with information, advice, and 
recommendations on matters that could result solely in rulemaking. An 
ARC functions solely in an advisory capacity. This allows the FAA to 
work with industry and the public to improve the development of the 
FAA's regulations. Exchanging ideas among members through the ARC 
process gives the FAA additional opportunities to obtain first-hand 
information and insight from those parties most affected by existing 
and proposed regulations.
    The FAA does not issue a notice of solicitation for membership on 
ARCs as a standard practice. However, considering the significant 
number of operators currently engaged in commercial air tour operations 
and the lack of an association group or organization representing these 
types of operations, the FAA deems it necessary to publish a notice 
soliciting interest for this specific ARC to ensure a balanced and 
diverse membership to address the tasks.

Description of Duties

    The ARC charter includes the scope, specific deadlines, expected 
deliverables, and membership composition. The ARC will undertake only 
tasks assigned to it by the FAA and provide direct, first-hand 
information, advice, and recommendations. ARC participants must:
     Attend meetings on a regular and consistent basis;
     Advise on matters of importance to the aviation industry 
and participating public;
     Participate in working groups, as necessary;
     Possess the authority, knowledge, and expertise to 
represent the organization or industry viewpoints; and
     Contribute to the recommendation report, including 
developing recommendations and drafting the report.

Eligibility for Membership

    In accordance with Section 363 of the Act, nominees must meet one 
of the following criteria to be considered for membership:
    1. Representatives of industry, including manufacturers of aircraft 
and aircraft technologies;
    2. Air tour operators or organizations that represent such 
operators; or
    3. Aviation safety experts with specific knowledge of safety 
management systems and flight data monitoring programs under 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations part 135.
    For commercial air tour operators, the nominee must conduct more 
than 100 commercial air tours in a calendar year. Congress has 
established a small business provision that excepts operators 
conducting 100 or fewer commercial air tours in a calendar year from 
compliance with any newly issued regulations stemming from Section 363.
    The FAA will select members based on their familiarity and 
experience with commercial air tours. Membership will be balanced in 
viewpoints, interests, and knowledge of the committee's objectives and 
scope. Membership will be limited to promote discussion.
    Members will be appointed for a 2-year term.

Nomination Process

    The FAA Administrator is seeking individual nominations for 
membership to the Commercial Air Tour ARC. Any interested person may 
nominate one or more qualified individuals for participation. Self-
nominations are also accepted. Nominations must include the following 
materials to be considered for membership. Failure to submit the 
required information may disqualify a candidate from the review 
process.
     A resume or curriculum vitae, which must include relevant 
job experience, qualifications, as well as contact information (email, 
telephone, and mailing address).
     A one-page statement describing how the candidate will 
benefit the ARC, considering how the candidate's unique perspective 
will advance the conversation. This statement must also identify the

in a calendar year (applicable to air tour operators only).
    Evaluations will be based on the materials submitted. The 
Administrator will make every effort to appoint members to serve on the

expertise required to meet the Administrator's needs and in a manner to 
ensure an appropriate balance of membership. The selection of committee
