Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 177 / Tuesday, September 14, 2010 / Notices 55847 

route aircraft and airport operations. 

The FAA, in collaboration with NOAA, 

provides information on volcanic ash. 

There is a need to better understand the 

content and characteristics of 

information on volcanic ash to support 

operational decisions. This information 

will be used to help direct R&D effort for 

improved services in support of 

NextGen. In addition, the information 

gathered from this meeting will assist 

FAA in its effort to collaborate with the 

international community to promote 

global harmonization on the functional 

and performance requirements for 

volcanic ash. The Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–463, 5 

U.S.C., Appendix 2) requires that public 

notice of this meeting be announced in 

the Federal Register. 

Purpose: The FAA is in the process of 

reviewing existing operational 

requirements as implemented in 

advisories and warning messages to 

Airline Operations Centers, Flight 

Crews, and Traffic Flow Management. 

In that regard, the FAA has defined an 

initial set of volcanic ash functional and 

performance requirements to support 

NextGen operations. These 

requirements must be validated with 

users in order to provide sound 

guidance for R&D investments. The 

purpose of the meeting announced in 

this Federal Register Notice is to assist 

the FAA in refining these requirements 

which will be used to drive R&D for 

improvement in volcanic ash detection, 

modeling and forecasting. The specific 

objective of the meeting is to identify 

performance requirements in terms of 

accuracy, latency, reliability, resolution, 

location, density, etc., of volcanic ash 

information resulting from volcanic ash 

modeling, observation, and forecasting. 

Public Participation: Due to space 

constraints, interested parties will need 

to register for this activity. Deadline for 

registration is October 31, 2010 or when 

capacity of the facility is met. We are 

asking anyone interested in attending to 

notify Steven Albersheim or Stewart 

Stepney at the phone or e-mail address 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section.
