Federal Aviation Administration

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee; Transport Airplane and

Engine 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:

Michael H. Borfitz, Manager, Engine and

Propeller Standards Staff, Engine and

Propeller Directorate, ANE–110, FAA,

Aircraft Certification Service, 12 New

England Executive Park, Burlington, MA

01803, telephone (617) 238–7110.

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

Transport Airplane and Engine issues.

These issues involve the airworthiness

standards for transport category

airplanes in 14 CFR parts 25, 33, and 35

and parallel provisions in 14 CFR parts

121 and 135.

The Task

This notice is to inform the public

that the FAA has asked ARAC to

provide advice and recommendation on

the following harmonization task:

Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Approval

Procedures: (1) Examine the adequacy of

existing APU approval procedures; (2)

Resolve technical differences in

approval procedures between Joint

Aviation Regulation APU and Technical

Standard Order C–77, and review the

adequacy of requirements in the light of

possible APU usages, e.g., ETOPS; (3)

Coordinate these tasks, as appropriate,

with other relevant bodies, e.g., the

Powerplant Installation Harmonization

Working Group; (4) Technical

agreement should be reached within 24

months following publication of the

notice of task in the Federal Register.

The FAA also has asked that ARAC

determine if rulemaking action (e.g.,

NPRM, supplemental NPRM, final rule,

withdrawal) should be taken, or

advisory material should be issued. If

so, ARAC has been asked to prepare the

necessary documents, including

economic analysis, to justify and carry

out its recommendation(s).

ARAC Acceptance of Task(s)

ARAC has accepted the task(s) and

has chosen to assign it to the existing

Propulsion Harmonization 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 Propulsion 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 task, including the

rationale supporting such a plan, for

consideration at the meeting of ARAC to

consider Transport Airplane and Engine

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. Provide a status report at each

meeting of ARAC held to consider

Transport Airplane and Engine Issues.

Participation in the Working Group

The Propulsion Harmonization

Working Group is 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

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
