White House Commission on Aviation

Safety and Security; Open Meeting

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST),

DOT.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

public and part is not. The meeting was

originally scheduled for January 28,

1997, but a new date has been set.

DATES: The meeting will be held on

Tuesday, January 28, 1997, from 9:00

am–12:00 noon and 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will take place

Avenues, NW, Washington, DC.

Richard K. Pemberton, Administrative

Officer, Room 6210, GSA Headquarters,

telecopier 202.501.6160.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act

(5 USC Appendix), DOT gives notice of

a meeting of the White House

Commission on Aviation Safety and

Security (‘‘Commission’’). The

Commission was established by the

President to develop advice and

recommendations on ways to improve

the level of civil aviation safety and

security, both domestically and

internationally. The principal purpose

of the meeting on February 11, which

was postponed from its original date of

January 28, is to formulate the

Commission’s final recommendations to

the President.

The portion of the meeting from 9:00

am–12:00 noon, during which the

Commissioners will formulate their

recommendations on measures to

improve aviation security, will be

closed to the public pursuant to the

following exemptions in the

Government in the Sunshine Act, which

apply to public meetings under the

Federal Advisory Committee Act:

Exemption 1: Classified information.

In order properly to formulate their

recommendations, the Commissioners

may need to discuss or refer to

information properly classified in the

interest of national security, which may

not be done in public.

Exemption 3: Information exempted

from public disclosure by some other

statute. Under 49 USC 40119(b), the

Administrator of the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) may prohibit

public disclosure of certain categories of

information relating to aviation security,

if disclosure would constitute an

unwarranted invasion of personal

privacy, reveal company confidential

information, or create a risk to the safety

of individuals traveling in inter-or intrastate air transportation. These categories

are described at 14 CFR Part 191. Such

information will be discussed or

referred to at the meeting.

Exemption 4: Company confidential

information. There is competition in the

aviation industry in many forms: among

carriers, among equipment

manufacturers, and among software

manufacturers, among others. Public

discussion of some of these matters

could violate 18 USC 1905, which

makes it a crime to reveal improperly

company confidential information that

has come into the possession of the

Government.

Exemption 9: Premature disclosure

would lead to frustration of proposed

agency action. The final

recommendations of the Commission

have not been formulated; it is possible,

however, that public knowledge of some

of the security recommendations may

frustrate their acceptance and

implementation by the FAA and other

agencies. The Commission is authorized

to protect against this possibility.

Limited seating for the public portion

of the meeting is available on a firstcome, first-served basis. The public may

submit written comments to the

Commission at any time; comments

should be sent to Mr. Pemberton at the

address and telecopier number shown

above.

Issued in Washington, DC, on January 24,

1997.

Transportation.
