## Attendance at the Public Meeting 

                    The FAA should receive requests from people who wish to attend the public meeting no later than February 17, 2005.

## Background 

The FAA has committed to implementing performance-based airspace operations. Given this commitment, there are significant issues with industry dynamics; new technologies; new aircraft types/capabilities and configurations and current operations; airspace use; airports; infrastructure; economics; and the environment. These complex issues mandate a comprehensive review and possible revision of existing regulatory criteria and guidance materials. Where existing criteria and guidance is inadequate or nonexistent, there will be the requirement to develop and implement new regulatory criteria and the guidance material needed by all stakeholders. The PARC provides a forum for the U.S. aviation community to discuss, prioritize, and resolve issues, provide direction for U.S. flight operations criteria, and produce U.S. consensus positions for global harmonization. The FAA Administrator issued the PARC charter on February 19, 2004. The PARC charter expires February 19, 2006, unless sooner terminated or extended by the Administrator. 

## Public Meeting Procedures 

Persons who plan to attend the meeting should be aware of the following procedures set up for this meeting:

The meeting will be open to all people who have asked in advance to attend the meeting or who register on the day of the meeting (between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.), subject to availability of space in the meeting room.
