advocacy groups, and interested 

members of the public. It is composed 

of a full committee, Executive 

Committee, issue areas, and working 

groups (which also include task groups). 

ARAC’s objectives are to improve 

development of the FAA’s regulations 

by providing information, advice, and 

recommendations related to aviation 

issues. The objective includes FAA 

working with industry and the public to 

obtain advice and recommendations on 

the Committee process. 

Members of the Executive Committee 

have suggested there may be more 

effective means of achieving ARAC’s 

objectives and requested a working 

group be established to develop possible 

process improvements. In December 

2008, the FAA invited the Executive 

Committee (EXCOM) to provide input 

and ideas as part of its effort to reinvigorate the ARAC process. 

The June 2009 EXCOM meeting 

included a presentation of solicited 

ideas, and proposed actions for the 

Executive Committee to consider. This 

notice advises the public that the FAA 

has assigned, and EXCOM has accepted, 

a task to recommend improvements to 

the ARAC process. 

The Task 

The FAA has tasked the ARAC 

working group to do the following: 

1. Review the ARAC process; 

2. Review working group and ARAC 

experiences with the process; 

3. Develop recommendations for 

process improvements; and 

4. Forward recommendations to the 

ARAC Executive Committee for review 

and approval. 

Schedule: The task must be 

completed no later than 12 months after 

the first working group meeting. 

ARAC Acceptance of Task 

The ARAC Executive Committee has 

accepted the task and assigned it to the 

ARAC Process Improvement Working 

Group. The working group serves as 

staff to ARAC and assists in the analysis 

of the assigned task. ARAC must review 

and approve the working group’s 

recommendations. If ARAC accepts the 

working group’s recommendations, it 

will send them to the FAA. 

Working Group Activity 

The ARAC Process Improvement 

Working Group must comply with the 

procedures adopted by ARAC. As part 

of the procedures, the working group 

must: 

1. Recommend a work plan for 

completion of the task, including the 

rationale supporting such a plan, for 

consideration at the next ARAC 

Executive Committee meeting held 

following publication of this notice. 

2. Give a detailed conceptual 

presentation of the proposed 

recommendations, prior to proceeding 

with the work stated in item 3 below. 

3. Draft the appropriate documents 

and required analyses and/or any other 

related materials or documents. 

4. Provide a status report at each 

meeting of the ARAC Executive 

Committee. 

Participation in the Working Group 

The ARAC Process Improvement 

Working Group has been established. 

However, if you wish to become a 

member of the working group, write to 

the person listed under the caption FOR

expressing that desire. Describe your 

interest in the task and state the 

expertise you would bring to the 

working group. We must receive all 

requests by November 18, 2009. The 

Executive Committee and the FAA will 

review the requests and advise you 

whether or not your request is 

approved. 

If you are chosen for membership on 

the working group, you must actively 

participate in the working group by 

attending all meetings and providing 

written comments when requested to do 

so. You must devote the resources 

necessary to support the working group 

in meeting any assigned deadlines. 

Members will not be added or 

substituted without the approval of the 

FAA and the working group chair once 

the working group has begun 

deliberations. 

ARAC meetings are open to the 

public. However, ARAC Process 

Improvement Working Group meetings 

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.

without the exemptions for these
