24932 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 81 / Wednesday, April 27, 2016 / Notices 

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.
