Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 23 / Thursday, February 4, 2016 / Notices 6101 

Continued Participation in the Working 

Group/Addition of New Members 

The existing ACS WG continues to be 

comprised of technical experts having 

an interest in the assigned task, and the 

FAA is now soliciting up to five new 

members with expertise in the aviation 

maintenance training and testing fields, 

specifically involving 14 CFR parts 65 

and 147. 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 (LDA) as 

amended, 2 U.S.C. 1603, 1604, and 

1605.) 

If you wish to become a member of 

the ACS WG for the purpose of assisting

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 March 7, 2016. The 

ARAC and the FAA will review the 

requests and advise you whether or not 

your request is approved. 

The members of the Airman 

Certification System Working Group 

must actively participate, attend all 

meetings, and provide written 

comments when requested. The 

members must devote the resources 

necessary to support the working group 

in meeting any assigned deadlines. The 

members must keep management and 

those represented advised of the 

working group activities and decisions 

to ensure the proposed technical 

solutions do not conflict with the 

position of those represented. 

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 ACS 

WG 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.

pilot school certificates and associated 

ratings to qualified applicants.

submitted by March 7, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget. Comments should be addressed 

to the attention of the Desk Officer,

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 

Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information collection; and (d) 

ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information. The agency 

will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection.
