Design and Equipment of the

International Maritime Organization

(IMO) which is scheduled for March 5–

regarding pollution prevention

equipment; asbestos-related problems

on board ships; casualty analysis;

development of guidelines for ships

operating in ice-covered waters; lowpowered radio homing devices for

IMO works to develop international

agreements, guidelines, and standards

for the marine industry. In most cases,

these form the basis for class society

rules and national standards/

regulations. Such an open meeting

supports the U.S. Representative to the

IMO Subcommittee in developing the

U.S. position on those issues raised at

the IMO Subcommittee meetings. This

open meeting serves as an excellent

forum for the public to express their

ideas and participate in the

international rulemaking process. All

members of the public are encouraged to

attend or send representatives to

participate in the development of U.S.

positions on those issues affecting your

maritime industry and remain abreast of

all activities ongoing within the IMO.

Background

An initial draft of this AC was

received from the Aviation Rulemaking

Advisory committee (ARAC) in August

1998 and a notice of availability was

published in the Federal Register in

October 1998. The notice of availability

stated that the FAA was reviewing the

ARAC recommendation and that it may

make revisions to the document before

it is issued. The notice also stated that

if the FAA decides to make any

substantive changes in the draft AC, the

revised document would be made

available again for comment before final

issuance. Subsequently, an internal

FAA coordination process began in

January 2000 and was completed in

September 2000. This draft revision

incorporates changes resulting from that

review, as well as the ARAC

recommendations and are the first steps

toward international all weather

operations criteria harmonization taken

by the FAA, JAA and several other

regulatory authorities. Comments

received in response to this notice will

be considered before a final AC is

issued. This draft AC should be

reviewed in conjunction with the

regulatory requirements of 14 CFR parts

121, 125, and 135, as applicable. This

draft AC would not change, add, or

delete any regulatory requirement or

authorize any deviation from parts 121,

125, or 135.

Issued in Washington, DC on October 6,

2000.

Director, Flight Standards.
