waters the two countries share. Its 

responsibilities include considering 

applications for projects that affect the 

natural levels and flows of boundary 

waters. For more information, visit the

Testing Standards and Training 

Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of report availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of a report from the ARC, 

which presents recommendations to 

enhance the content, process, and 

methodology for development of 

aeronautical knowledge testing and 

training materials.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 21, 2011, the FAA 

chartered the ARC to provide a forum 

for the U.S. aviation community to share 

its experience and expertise in the areas 

of aeronautical knowledge required for 

safer operation in today’s National 

Airspace System (NAS). 

The FAA’s charge to the ARC was to 

help ensure that technical information 

related to airman knowledge tests, 

computer testing supplements, 

knowledge test guides, and training 

handbooks incorporates the most 

current and relevant standards, policies, 

procedures, and techniques. The FAA 

specifically tasked the ARC with 

providing recommendations on the 

content of these materials, a process for 

stakeholder participation, and 

appropriate methodologies for 

developing test item bank questions. 

The FAA also requested the ARC’s 

recommendations on prioritizing the 

enhancement of these materials. 

Notice of Availability 

The ARC submitted its report to FAA 

on April 13, 2012. The report is now 

available for review and download from 

the FAA Web site at: http:// 

www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft_docs/arc. 

Issued in Washington, DC on June 12, 

2012.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. NHTSA–2012–0057] 

Advanced Braking Technologies That 

Rely on Forward-Looking Sensors; 

Request for Comments 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice; Request for comments 

on research report. 

SUMMARY: The National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA) has, for 

about two years, been studying 

advanced braking technologies that rely 

on forward-looking sensors to 

supplement driver braking or to actuate 

automatic braking in response to an 

impending crash. NHTSA believes these 

technologies show promise for 

enhancing vehicle safety by helping 

drivers to avoid crashes or mitigate the 

severity and effects of crashes. NHTSA 

is soliciting comments on the results of 

its research thus far to help guide its 

continued efforts in this area. 

DATES: Comments: The agency must 

receive comments on or before 

September 4, 2012.
