Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 71 / Thursday, April 13, 1995 / Notices 18875

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 general

aviation and business airplane issues.

These issues involve the airworthiness

standards for small and commuter

category airplanes in 14 CFR part 23 and

parallel provisions in 14 CFR parts 91

and 135.

The Task

This notice is to inform the public

that the FAA has asked ARAC to

provide advise and recommendation on

the following harmonization task:

Recommend disposition of comments

made to Notices of Proposed Rulemaking

(NPRM) Nos. 94–19, 94–20, and 94–22,

which propose to harmonize 14 CFR part 23

with the Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR)

23. If ARAC determines rulemaking

documents or advisory circulars are

appropriate to dispose of these comments,

those documents should be developed by

ARAC along with the proper justification and

any legal and economic analysis. Harmonize

any resulting Federal Aviation Regulations

with the Joint Aviation Requirements.

ARAC Acceptance of Task

ARAC has accepted the task and has

chosen to assign it to the existing JAR/

FAR 23 Harmonization Working Group.

As a result of the new task assigned to

the working group, membership is being

reopened. 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, if forwards them to

the FAA as ARAC recommendations.

Working Group Activity

The JAR/FAR 23 Harmonization

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 general aviation and business

airplane 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. For each task, draft appropriate

regulatory documents with supporting

economic and other required analyses,

and/or any other related guidance

material or collateral documents the

working group determines to be

appropriate; or, if new or revised

requirements or compliance methods

are not recommended, a draft report

stating the rationale for not making such

recommendations.

4. A status report at each meeting of

ARAC held to consider general aviation

and business airplane issues.

Participation in the Working Group

The JAR/FAR 23 Harmonization

Working Group is composed of experts

from those organizations 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

tasks, 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 JAR/

FAR 23 Harmonization 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.
