Federal Aviation Administration

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee; Air Carrier Operations

Issues—New Task

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of new task assignment

for the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee (ARAC).

SUMMARY: Notice is given of a new task

assigned to and accepted by the

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee (ARAC). This notice informs

the public of the activities of ARAC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Quentin J. Smith, Federal Aviation

Administration (AFS–200), 800

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20591; phone (202)

267–5819; fax (202) 267–5229.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The FAA has established an Aviation

Rulemaking Advisory Committee to

provide advice and recommendations to

the FAA Administrator, through the

Associate Administrator for Regulation

and Certification, on the full range of

the FAA’s rulemaking activities with

respect to aviation-related issues. This

includes obtaining advice and

recommendations on the FAA’s

commitment to harmonize its

regulations and practices with its

trading partners in Europe and Canada.

One area ARAC deals with is air

carrier operations issues. These issues

involve the operational requirements for

air carriers, including crewmember

requirements, airplane operating

performance and limitations, and

equipment requirements.

The Task

This notice is to inform the public

that the FAA has asked ARAC to

provide advice and recommendation on

the following harmonization tasks:

Airplane Performance Operating

Limitations

1. Review FAA and JAA airplane

operational performance requirements

(14 CFR parts 121 and 135/JAR–OPS)

and develop a list of differences

between the two sets of requirements.

(use should be made of preliminary

work on the task carried out by

industry). During this review, if

differences are identified in the

associated certification requirements,

such difference should be reported to

the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee (ARAC) and the

Harmonization Management Team by

the FAA and JAA contacts.

2. When the first step is completed,

explore the feasibility of harmonization

of each identified difference in the

following order of priority: Performance

Class A, Class B, and Class C.

3. Within one year of publication of

the ARAC task in the Federal Register,

develop recommendations for common

(harmonized) operational performance

requirements for those items identified

under item above as being feasible for

harmonization. If the working group

determines FAA rulemaking is required,

that determination must be forwarded to

the FAA for consideration of rulemaking

priority, resource allocation, and

additional tasking to ARAC, as

appropriate.

Working Group Activity

The Airplane Performance

Harmonization Working Group is

expected to comply with the procedures

adopted by ARAC. As part of the

procedures, the working group is

expected to:

1. Recommend a work plan for

completion of that tasks, including the

rationale supporting such a plan, for

consideration at the meeting of ARAC to

consider air carrier operations issues

held following publication of this

notice.
