ARAC to assist ARAC in the analysis of

the assigned task. Working group

recommendations must be reviewed and

approved by ARAC. If ARAC accepts the

working group’s recommendations, it

forwards them to the FAA as ARAC

recommendations.

Working Group Activity

As is the case with all harmonization

working groups, meetings of the

Licensing Harmonization Working

Group will be held alternatively

between the United States and Europe.

Tentatively, the next two meetings will

be held in Washington, DC, in January

1998 and in Hoofddorp, The

Netherlands, in February 1998.

The Licensing 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 to ARAC a work plan

for completion of the tasks, including

the rationale supporting such a plan, for

consideration at the meeting of ARAC to

consider Training and Qualifications

Issues held following publication of this

notice.

2. Give a detailed conceptual

presentation to ARAC of the proposed

recommendations, prior to proceeding

with the work stated in item 3 below.

3. Provide a status report at each

meeting of ARAC held to consider

Training and Qualifications Issues.

Participation in the Working Group

The Licensing Harmonization

Working Group is composed of experts

having an interest in the assigned task.

A working group member need not be

a representative of a member of the full

committee.

An individual who has expertise in

the subject matter and wishes to become

a member of the working group should

write to the person listed under the

caption FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT expressing that desire,

describing his or her interest in the

tasks, and stating the expertise he or she

would bring to the working group. The

request will be reviewed by the assistant

chair, the assistant executive director,

and the working group chair, and the

individual will be advised whether or

not the request can be accommodated.

Requests to participate on the Licensing

Harmonization Working Group should

be submitted no later than November

28, 1997. To the extent possible, the

composition of the working group will

be balanced among the aviation interests

selected to participate.

The Secretary of Transportation has

determined that the formation and use

of ARAC are necessary and in the public

interest in connection with the

performance of duties imposed on the

FAA by law.

Meetings of ARAC will be open to the

public. Meetings of the Licensing

Harmonization Working Group will not

be open to the public, except to the

extent that individuals with an interest

and expertise are selected to participate.

No public announcement of working

group meetings will be made.
