Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee; Airport Certification

Issues—New Task

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of new task assignment

for the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee (ARAC).

SUMMARY: Notice is given of a new task

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:

Robert E. David, Assistant Executive

Director for Airport Certification Issues,

Office of Airport and Safety Standards

(AAS–300), 800 Independence Avenue,

SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The FAA has established an Aviation

Rulemaking Advisory Committee 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 ARAC deals with is Airport

Certification issues. These issues

involve the certification and operation

of airports that service air carriers in 14

CFR part 139.

The Task

This notice is to inform the public

that the FAA has asked ARAC to

provide advice and recommendations

on the following task.

Review Title 14, Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR) part 139 and develop

recommendations concerning what

requirements are applicable to airports that

have scheduled service with aircraft having

a seating capacity of 10 to 30 seats. In

developing these recommendations,

consideration should be given to accepted

industry practices regarding airport safety,

personnel available at these airports, costs

associated with meeting these requirements

(e.g., capital, operating, and maintenance

costs) and the types of accidents/incidents

that occur at these airports. Where it appears

that it is not reasonable to apply a part 139

requirement at these airports, the ARAC shall

examine alternatives to the requirement to

determine if there is another means to assure

a comparable level of safety.

In conducting this review, ARAC should

(1) Consider categorizing the requirements

applicable to these airports by the size of the

airport, or some other means to achieve

specific safety objectives, while minimizing

the operational burden; (2) consider

alternatives to providing aircraft rescue and

firefighting services for operations at these

airports; (3) consider conducting a survey of

the airports that would be affected by this

rule; and (4) recommend applicable

requirements, including a reasonable

compliance period, taking into account

economic and operational factors.

The recommendations from ARAC could

serve as the basis for a notice of proposed

rulemaking, if the FAA is granted the

legislative authority to certificate these

airports.

ARAC Acceptance of Task

ARAC has accepted the task and has

chosen to establish a new Commuter

Airport Certification Working Group.

The working group will serve as staff to

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

The Commuter Airport Certification

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 a work plan for

completion of the tasks, including the

rationale supporting such a plan, for

consideration at the meeting of ARAC to

consider airport certification issues held

following publication of this notice.

2. Give a detailed conceptual

presentation 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

airport certification issues. Participation

in the Working Group.

The Commuter Airport Certification

Working Group will be 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 task,

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.

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, except as authorized by section

10(d) of the Federal Advisory

Committee Act. Meetings of the

Commuter Airport Certification

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
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 84 / Tuesday, May 2, 1995 / Notices 21583
