Abstract of proposed collection: 

Department of State consular officers 

use Form DS–230 (Application for 

Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration), 

in conjunction with a personal 

interview and other requirements set 

forth in 22 CFR part 42, subpart G, to 

elicit information necessary to ascertain 

the applicability of the legal 

requirements to issue an immigrant visa. 

The information requested on the form 

is limited to that which is necessary for 

consular officers to determine the 

eligibility and classification of aliens 

seeking immigrant visas to the United

unable to adjudicate such visas without 

collecting this information. 

Methodology: 

The DS–230 is available electronically 

via the internet and is downloaded, 

completed online, printed and 

submitted to the National Visa Center 

(NVC). The web address where the DS– 

230 can be accessed is http://

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory 

Committee—New Task 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of a continuation of task 

assignment for the Aviation Rulemaking 

Advisory Committee (ARAC). 

SUMMARY: The FAA assigned the 

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory 

Committee (ARAC) a continuation of 

task to a previously established working 

group. This continuation of task 

requests the working group to provide 

cost and benefit data for the proposed 

implementation of the ARAC 

recommendations submitted in 2012 

regarding the FAA’s approach to update, 

reorganize and improve the level of 

safety requirements for the flammability 

of materials for transport category 

airplanes. This notice informs the 

public of a continuation to a previous 

ARAC activity, reinstates the Materials 

Flammability Working Group, and does 

not solicit membership.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

ARAC Acceptance of Task 

As a result of the December 18, 2014, 

ARAC meeting, the FAA assigned and 

ARAC accepted and designated this task 

to the Transport Airplane and Engine 

(TAE) Subcommittee, reinstating the 

Materials Flammability Working Group. 

The Materials Flammability Working 

Group will serve as staff to the ARAC, 

through the TAE Subcommittee, and 

will provide advice and 

recommendations on the assigned task. 

The TAE Subcommittee will review and 

approve the recommendation report and 

will send the approved recommendation 

report to the ARAC for acceptance. After 

ARAC accepts the recommendation 

report, it will submit the 

recommendation report to the FAA. 

Background 

The FAA established the ARAC to 

provide information, advice, and 

recommendations on aviation related 

issues that could result in rulemaking to 

the FAA Administrator, through the 

Associate Administrator of Aviation 

Safety. 

On August 27, 2010 [75 FR 52807], 

the FAA tasked ARAC to consider the 

merits and make recommendations for 

improvement of an approach drafted by 

the FAA that would simplify 

compliance demonstrations, and 

upgrade the level of safety for 

flammability throughout the airplane. 

The objective of the proposed approach 

was to completely revisit the 

flammability requirements and take 

advantage of the wealth of data available 

from FAA research and advances in 

material fire safety to provide a simpler 

regulation that provides a higher level of 

safety for transport category airplanes. 

The flammability requirements for 

interior materials on transport category 

airplanes have evolved significantly 

over the years to become more threatbased. By ‘‘threat-based,’’ the FAA 

means the flammability requirements 

use a more realistic test method based 

on the type of fire hazard most critical 

for the components in question. 

Historically, these requirements have 

been based on an analysis of the type of 

threat, the usage of the potentially 

flammable material (e.g., sidewall), and 

the material type (e.g., elastomeric 

materials). This approach has led to 

problems, including multiple 

requirements applying to the same 

component; conflicting requirements for 

the same component depending on what 

material it is made from; and ambiguous 

requirements for components not 

explicitly listed in § 25.853 or Appendix 

F part I of part 25. These ambiguous 

requirements for components not 

explicitly listed have resulted in the 

requirements of § 25.853 or Appendix F, 

part I of part 25 becoming obsolete 

whenever materials change, or 

incomplete when components have 

been developed after the regulation and 

Appendix F of part 25 were issued. 

The Materials Flammability Working 

Group completed the task, and the 

ARAC submitted the recommendations 

to the FAA in August 2012. The 

Materials Flammability Working Group 

believed the proposed threat-based 

organization for the flammability 

regulations was logical, practical and a 

more effective framework for regulation 

going forward than the current 

published regulations. The Materials 

Flammability Working Group believed 

the resulting regulation draft, along with 

appropriate advisory material, would 

ultimately be simpler and more easily 

understood and enforced. In order to 

proceed with rulemaking to implement 

the recommendations, the FAA is 

tasking the ARAC to provide cost and 

benefit data associated with 

implementation. 

The Task 

The Materials Flammability Working 

Group will provide advice and 

recommendations to the ARAC, through 

the TAE Subcommittee, on the costs and 

benefits of implementing the 

recommendations previously submitted 

by the Materials Flammability Working 

Group in August 2012. The 

recommendation report can be found at: 

http://www.faa.gov/regulations_

policies/rulemaking/committees/arac/. 

The Materials Flammability Working 

Group is tasked to: 

1. Review the Materials Flammability 

Working Group Recommendation 

Report dated July 9, 2012 and submitted 

in August 2012, along with subsequent 

research results to be provided to the 

Materials Flammability Working Group 

by the FAA. 

2. Provide quantitative cost data for 

each recommendation, if applicable, 

along with assumptions and rationale 

for the cost data. The FAA will provide 

key assumptions to assist with cost 

estimation. 

3. Provide quantitative economic 

benefit data for each recommendation, if 

applicable. 

4. Provide service data regarding 

incidents (precursors) or accidents 

related to materials flammability that 

would be mitigated in the future by 

implementation of each 

recommendation. 

5. Develop a report containing 

recommendations on the findings and 

results of the tasks explain above. 

a. The recommendation report should 

document both majority and dissenting 

positions on the findings and the 

rationale for each position. 

b. Any disagreements should be 

documented, including the rationale for 

position and the reasons for the 

disagreements.
