the § 29.631 bird strike protection airworthiness standard in light of increases in bird weight and increased exposure to bird strikes for newly type certificated rotorcraft.

4. For transport category rotorcraft, specifically advise and make written recommendations on how the bird strike protection requirements in Task 3 should be made effective via § 29.2 for newly manufactured rotorcraft.

5. For normal and transport category rotorcraft, specifically advise and make written recommendations on incorporating rotorcraft bird strike protection improvements and standards into the existing rotorcraft fleet.

6. For Tasks 1 through 5, consider existing non-traditional bird strike protection technology, including the use of aircraft flight manual limitations (such as requiring airspeed limitations at lower altitudes), when making the recommendations. These considerations must include: An evaluation of the effectiveness of such technology, assumptions used as part of that evaluation, validation of those assumptions, and any procedures to be used for operation with the technology or with the aircraft limitations.

7. Based on the recommendations in Tasks 1 through 6, specifically advise and make written recommendations for the associated policy and guidance.

8. Based on the Rotorcraft Bird Strike Working Group recommendations, perform the following:

a. Estimate what the regulated parties would do differently as a result of the proposed recommendation and how much it would cost.

b. Estimate the safety improvements of future bird encounters from the proposed recommendations.

c. Estimate any other benefits ( e.g., reduced administrative burden) or costs that would result from implementation of the recommendations.

9. Develop a report containing recommendations on the findings and results of the tasks explained above. The report should document:

a. Both majority and dissenting positions on the findings and the rationale for each position.

b. Any disagreements, including the rationale for each position and the reasons for the disagreement.

10. The working group may be reinstated to assist the ARAC in responding to the FAA’s questions or concerns after the recommendation report has been submitted.

Schedule

The recommendation report should be submitted to the FAA for review and acceptance no later than 18 months after publication of this notice in the Federal Register

. Working Group Activity

The Rotorcraft Bird Strike Working Group must comply with the procedures adopted by the ARAC as follows:

1. Conduct a review and analysis of the assigned tasks and any other related materials or documents.

2. Draft and submit a work plan for completion of the task, including the rationale supporting such a plan, for consideration by the ARAC.

3. Provide a status report at each ARAC meeting.

4. Draft and submit the recommendation report based on review and analysis of the assigned tasks.

5. Present the recommendation report at the ARAC meeting.
Participation in the Working Group

The Rotorcraft Bird Strike Working Group will be comprised of technical experts having an interest in the assigned task. A working group member need not be a member representative of the ARAC. The FAA would like a wide range of members (normal category rotorcraft manufacturers, transport category rotorcraft manufacturers, and rotorcraft operators from various segments of the industry such as oil and gas exploration, emergency medical services, and air tour operators) to ensure all aspects of the tasks are considered in development of the recommendations. The provisions of the August 13, 2014, Office of Management and Budget guidance, ‘‘Revised Guidance on Appointment of Lobbyists to Federal Advisory Committees, Boards, and Commissions’’ (79 FR 47482), continues the ban on registered lobbyists participating on Agency Boards and Commissions if participating in their ‘‘individual capacity.’’ The revised guidance now allows registered lobbyists to participate on Agency Boards and Commissions in a ‘‘representative capacity’’ for the ‘‘express purpose of providing a committee with the views of a nongovernmental entity, a recognizable group of persons or nongovernmental entities (an industry, sector, labor unions, or environmental groups, etc.) or state or local government.’’ (For further information, see Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 as amended, 2 U.S.C. 1603, 1604, and 1605.)

If you wish to become a member of the Rotorcraft Bird Strike Working Group, write the person listed under the caption **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION**
**CONTACT** expressing that desire. Describe your interest in the task and state the expertise you would bring to the working group. The FAA must receive all requests by May 27, 2016. The ARAC and the FAA will review the requests and advise you whether or not your request is approved.

If you are chosen for membership in the working group, you must actively participate in the working group, attend all meetings, and provide written comments when requested. You must devote the resources necessary to support the working group in meeting any assigned deadlines. You must keep your management and those you may represent advised of working group activities and decisions to ensure the proposed technical solutions do not conflict with the position of those you represent. Once the working group has begun deliberations, members will not be added or substituted without the approval of the ARAC Chair, the FAA, including the Designated Federal Officer, and the Working Group Chair.

The Secretary of Transportation determined the formation and use of the ARAC is necessary and in the public interest in connection with the performance of duties imposed on the FAA by law.

The ARAC meetings are open to the public. However, meetings of the Rotorcraft Bird Strike Working Group are not open to the public, except to the extent individuals with an interest and expertise are selected to participate. The FAA will make no public announcement of working group meetings.
