-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is given of a new task assigned to and accepted by the
Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC). This notice informs the
public of the activities of ARAC.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Chris Christie, Director, Office of Rulemaking, FAA, 800
Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591; telephone (202) 267-9677.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The FAA has established an Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee
to provide advice and recommendations to the FAA Administrator, through
the Associate Administrator for Regulation and Certification, on the
full range of the FAA's rulemaking activities with respect to aviation-
related issues.
The Task
This notice is to inform the public that the FAA has asked ARAC to
provide advice and a recommendation on the following task:
Review National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Safety
Recommendations 95-25, 95-26, and 95-27, pursuant to Flight Data
Recorder (FDR) parameters and amendments to 14 CFR 121.343, 125.225,
and 135.152, and recommend disposition of the NTSB recommendations.
The ARAC recommendation should be in the form of a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).
The FAA has asked that ARAC provide a final document, including
background and economic analysis, to justify and carry out its
recommendation.
ARAC Acceptance of Task
ARAC has accepted the task and has chosen to establish a Flight
Data Recorder Working Group. The working group will serve as staff to
ARAC to assist ARAC in the analysis of the assigned task. Working group
recommendations must be reviewed and approved by ARAC. If ARAC accepts
the working group's recommendations, it forwards them to the FAA as
ARAC recommendations.
Working Group Activity
The Flight Data Recorder Working Group is expected to comply with
the procedures adopted by ARAC. As part of the procedures, the working
group is expected to:
1. Recommend a work plan for completion of the tasks, including the
rationale supporting such a plan, for consideration at the Executive
Committee meeting held following publication of this notice.
2. Give a detailed conceptual presentation of the proposed
recommendations, prior to proceeding with the work stated in item 3
below.
3. Draft appropriate regulatory documents with supporting economic
and other required analyses, and/or any other related guidance material
or collateral documents the working group determines to be appropriate;
or, if new or revised requirements or compliance methods are not
recommended, a draft report stating the rationale for not making such
recommendations.
4. Provide a status report at each Executive Committee meeting.
The Secretary of Transportation has determined that the formation
and use of ARAC is necessary and in the public interest in connection
with the performance of duties imposed on the FAA by law.
Meetings of ARAC will be open to the public, except as authorized
by section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Meetings of the
Flight Data Recorder 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 June 12, 1995.
Chris A. Christie,
Executive Director, Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee.
