DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory 

Committee—New Task 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal of task 

assignment for the Aviation Rulemaking 

Advisory Committee (ARAC). 

SUMMARY: The FAA has withdrawn a 

task assigned to the Aviation 

Rulemaking Advisory Committee 

(ARAC) concerning commercial air 

tours. This notice is to inform the public 

of the FAA’s decision to withdraw this 

task. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Katherine Haley, Office of Rulemaking, 

Federal Aviation Administration, 800 

Independence Avenue SW., 

Washington, DC 20591; telephone: 202– 

493–5708, facsimile: 202–267–5075;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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. 

On July 15, 2009, the FAA tasked 

ARAC (74 FR 34390) to provide advice 

and recommendations on a maintenance 

quality assurance system, a maintenance 

training program and a required 

inspection program for operators and air 

carriers that conduct air tours and 

operate under parts 91 and 135 (aircraft 

type certificated for a passenger seating 

configuration, excluding any pilot seat, 

of 9 or fewer seats). That tasking was in 

response to two recommendations from 

the National Transportation Safety 

Board (NTSB) (A–08–32 and A–08–33) 

and an FAA recommendation on air 

tour accidents. The Commercial Air 

Tours Maintenance (CATM) working 

group formed and met between 

November 2009 and December 2010 to 

address the ARAC tasking. On 

December 16, 2010, the CATM working 

group presented the findings and 

recommendations to the ARAC 

Executive Committee. One of the 

recommendations was to develop an 

Advisory Circular (AC) to create a 

voluntary accreditation program 

modeled after the AC 00–56A, 

Voluntary Industry Distributor 

Accreditation Program. The FAA 

accepted the recommendations on 

February 1, 2011. 

In December 2011, the FAA assigned 

ARAC a new task to develop a 

comprehensive program of voluntary 

accreditation for commercial air tour 

operators that are not required under 

parts 91 and 135 of Title 14 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), to 

maintain their aircraft under a 

continuous airworthiness maintenance 

program (CAMP). This new task was the 

FAA’s response to one of the CATM 

recommendations. 

The notice informing the public of 

this new ARAC activity published in the 

Federal Register on December 27, 2011 

(76 FR 81009), and included a request 

for volunteers for the Commercial Air 

Tour Voluntary Accreditation Program 

working group. The time period to 

volunteer expired on January 26, 2011. 

We received minimal interest from the 

public, and have decided to withdraw 

the task due to a lack of adequate 

representation on the working group. 

This notice informs the public of the 

withdrawal of the ARAC task that 

would have been assigned to the 

Commercial Air Tour Voluntary 

Accreditation Program Working Group. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 16, 

2012. 

Pamela Hamilton-Powell, 

Executive Director, Aviation Rulemaking 

Advisory Committee.
