Federal Aviation Administration

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee; Aircraft Certification

Procedures Issues—Revised Task

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of revised task

assignment for the Aviation Rulemaking

Advisory Committee.

SUMMARY: Notice is given of a change in

a task previously 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:

Mr. Brian A. Yan ̃ ez, Federal Aviation

Administration, Aircraft Certification

Service (AIR–110), 800 Independence

Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591,

telephone: (202) 267–9588; fax: (202)

267–5340.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

established an Aviation Rulemaking

Advisory Committee (ARAC) 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 Federal

Aviation Regulations (FAR) and

practices with its trading partners in

Europe and Canada.

One area of the ARAC deals with is

aircraft certification procedures, which

involve the procedures for aircraft

certification found in 14 CFR parts 21,

39, and 183 and Special Federal

Aviation Regulation No. 36 (SFAR 36),

and which are the responsibility of the

Director, Aircraft Certification Service.

The Revised Task

This notice is to inform the public

that the FAA has revised a task

previously assigned to ARAC and

supported by the Delegation System

Working Group. The revision was

requested by ARAC.

Review the current system of

delegation functions to determine what

would improve the safety, quality, and

effectiveness of the system, and making

recommendations concerning new or

revised rules and advisory, guidance,

and other (including legislative and

training) collateral materials. The FAA

is seeking a comprehensive, up-to-date,

systematic approach for delegating

certification functions to both

individuals and organizations, a smooth

transition from the delegation systems

currently used to the system

recommended, and a system as

compatible as practicable with the

systems used by the civilian aviation

authorities of other countries.

Specifically, the FAA desires to

consolidate the delegation regulations in

subparts J and M of part 21, SFAR 36,

and section 183.33, into a new subpart.

Revise section 183.15 to reflect a change

in duration of delegations and in

addition, the designation system would

be expanded to include organizations

designated to issue operating certificates

under 14 CFR parts 133 and 137, air

agency certificates under CFR part 141,

and training center certificates under 14

CFR part 142.

While the examiners delegation

functions relative to certification of

aircraft and operations have been added

to the overall list of delegations, the

FAA does not intend to approve

designations for functions that are

related to air carrier operations at this

time. Some examples of functions of

which delegation will not be designated

include, (1) Training center certificates

for approval of air carrier training

programs (14 CFR part 142), (2)

determination of operational suitability,

(3) approval of master minimum

equipment lists, (4) approval of air

carrier minimum equipment lists, (5)

issuance of repair station certificates (14

CFR part 145), (6) approval of flight

crew operating manuals, (7) instructions

for continued airworthiness which

includes the Maintenance Review Board

and associated maintenance documents,

and other items deemed inappropriate

by the Administrator.

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 of the FAA.

Meetings of ARAC to consider aircraft

certification procedures issues will be

open to the public. Meetings of the

Delegation System Working Group are

not 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.

Issued in Washington, DC, on June 15,

1996.

Assistant Executive Director, Aircraft

Certification Procedures Issues, Aviation

Rulemaking Advisory Committee.
