SUMMARY: Notice is given of the establishment of the Friction
Measurement and Signing Working Group of the Aviation Rulemaking
Advisory Committee (ARAC). This notice informs the public of the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert E. David, Assistant Executive
Director, Airport Certification Issues, Aviation Rulemaking Advisory
Committee, Office of Airport and Safety Standards (AAS-300), 800

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Aviation Administration has
established an Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) (56 FR
219, January 22, 1991; and 58 FR 9230, February 19, 1993). One area of
the ARAC deals with airport certification issues.
Task
Specifically, the working group's tasks are the following:
Review Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 14, Chapter I, Part
139 and supporting material, previous studies and surveys, procedures
and interpretations for the purpose of determining if it would be
appropriate to undertake rulemaking and/or develop policy relative to
performing friction measurement to be used in the maintenance of air
carrier runway surfaces; and
Review CFR Title 14, Chapter I, Part 139 and Advisory Circular 150/
5340-18C, ``Standards for Airport Sign Systems,'' and supporting
material for the purpose of developing a notice of proposed rulemaking
which would require these distance remaining signs at some or all the
airports certificated under part 139.
If deemed appropriate, draft for ARAC notices of proposed
rulemaking for each task proposing new or revised requirements,
supporting economic analyses and other required analyses, advisory and
guidance material, and any other collateral documents the working group
determines to be needed.
Reports
A. Recommend time line(s) for completion of the tasks, including
rationale, for consideration at the meeting of the ARAC to consider
airport certification issues held following publication of this notice.
B. Give a detailed conceptual presentation on the proposed
recommendation to the ARAC before proceeding any further with the
tasks.
C. Give a status report on the tasks at each meeting of the ARAC
held to consider airport certification issues.
The Friction Measurement and Signing Working Group will be
comprised of experts from those organizations having an interest in the
task assigned. A working group member need not necessarily be a
representative of one of the member organizations of ARAC. An
individual who has expertise in the subject matter and wishes to become
a member of the working group should write the person listed under the
caption FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT expressing that desire,
describing his or her interest in the task, and the expertise he or she
would bring to the working group. The request will be reviewed with the
Assistant Chair of the ARAC for airport certification issues and the
Chair of the Friction Measurement and Signing Working Group, and the
individual will be advised whether or not the request can be
accommodated.
The Secretary of Transportation has determined that the formation
and use of the ARAC are necessary in the public interest in connection
with the performance of duties imposed on the FAA by law. Meetings of
the ARAC to consider airport certification issues will be open to the
public except as authorized by section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act. Meetings of the Friction Measurement and Signing Working
Group will not be open to the public, except to the extent that
individuals with an interest and expertise are selected to participate.
No public announcement of working group meetings will be made.
Issued in Washington, DC, on October 4, 1994.
Robert E. David,
Assistant Executive Director for Airport Certification Issues, Aviation
Rulemaking Advisory Committee.
