SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Federal Aviation Administration

(FAA) has established an Aviation

Rulemaking Advisory Committee

(ARAC) (56 FR 2109, January 22, 1991;

and 58 FR 9230, February 19, 1993).

ARAC provides 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. One

area ARAC deals with is Air Carrier

Operations issues. These issues involve

the operational requirements for air

carriers, to include crewmember

requirements, airplane operating

performance and limitations, and

eequipment requirements. The new task

is related to these issues.

Task

The following new task is being

assigned to ARAC:

To develop an advisory circular that

ourlines fatigue countermeasures and

alertness management techniques that

could improve safety in air

transportation. This advisory circular

will discuss the current state of the

knowledge associated with the

physiological mechanisms underlying

fatigue; demonstrate how this

knowledge can be applied to improve

flight crew rest, alertness, and

performance; and provide practical

recommendations for use by

crewmembers.

A recommendation in the form of an

advisory circular, or other advisory

material, will be submitted in a format

prescribed by the FAA. The

recommendation should be fully

justified, and the justification should be

presented as part of the

recommendation.

ARAC recommendations to the FAA

should be accompanied by appropriate

documents. Recommendations for

rulemaking should be accompanied by a

complete draft of the notice(s) of

proposed rulemaking, including the

benefit/cost analysis and other required

analyses. Recommendations for the

issue of guidance material should be

accompanied by a complete advisory

circular.

ARAC Activity

In order to carry out the functions of

the committee to develop advice and

recommendations, ARAC may choose to

establish working groups to which

specific tasks are assigned. Such

working groups are comprised of

experts from those organizations having

an interest in certain tasks assigned to

ARAC. This notice is intended to notify

the public that ARAC is establishing the

Fatigue Countermeasures and Alertness

Management Working Group.

Working Group Formation

Any individual who has expertise in

the subject matter and wishes to become

a member of the Fatigue

Countermeasures and Alertness

Management Techniques Working

Group should contact the person listed

under the caption FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT expressing that

desire, describing his or her interest in

the task, and the expertise he or she

would bring to the working group.

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 an ARAC

recommendation.

Working Group Reports

Each working group formed to

consider an ARAC task(s) is expected to

comply with the procedures adopted by

ARAC and given to the working group

chair. As part of the procedures, the

working group is expected to:

A. Recommend a work plan for

completion of the task(s), including

rationale, for consideration at the

meeting of ARAC to consider Air Carrier

Operations issues held following

publication of this notice.

B. Give a detailed conceptual

presentation on the task to ARAC before

proceeding with the task.

C. Give a status report on the task at

each meeting of ARAC held to consider

Air Carrier Operations issues.

The Secretary of Transportation has

determined that the formation and use

of ARAC are necessary 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 Fatigue

Countermeasures and Alertness

Management Techniques 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 public

announcement of working group

meetings will be made.
