SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the renewal of the charter for RTCA, 
Inc. (utilized as an advisory committee) for 2 years, effective March 
13, 1997. The Administrator is the sponsor of the committee. The 
objective of the advisory committee is to seek solutions to problems 
involving the application of technology (e.g., electronics, computers, 
and telecommunications) to aeronautical operations that impact the 
future air traffic management system. The solutions are frequently in 
the nature of recommended minimum operational performance standards and 
technical guidance documents which are acceptable to Government, 
industry, and users. Standards ensure equivalent performance of the 
same generic equipment built by different manufacturers. RTCA standards 
are generally referenced or used (with or without modification) in 
Government regulatory and procurement activities.
