proposed measures reduce the level of

aviation safety, create an undue burden

on interstate or foreign commerce, or are

reasonably consistent with obtaining the

goal of reducing existing noncompatible

land uses and preventing the

introduction of additional

noncompatible land uses.

comment on the proposed program with

specific reference to these factors. All

comments, other than those properly

addressed to local land use authorities,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On January 14, 1991, the Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA)

announced the establishment of the

Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee (56 FR 2190, January 22,

1991). The committee held its first

meeting at Baltimore, MD, on May 23,

1991 (56 FR 20492, May 3, 1991). At

that meeting the Aviation Rulemaking

Advisory committee accepted General

Aviation and Business Airplanes

(GABA) as an issue on which it would

provide advice and recommendations to

the FAA regarding the airworthiness

standards for small general aviation and

business airplanes. Later that year, the

FAA published notice of ARAC’s

acceptance of activities concerning

General Aviation Operations (56 FR 199;

October 15, 1991). Under this issue,

ARAC would provide advice and

recommendations to the FAA on

activities concerning operation of

general aviation aircraft. The FAA does

not anticipate a change in the range of

activities as a result of the consolidation

of these issues. The decision to combine

the two issues should result in more

efficient use of resources and ensure

that decisions concerning certification

and operation of small airplanes are

consistently applied. General Aviation

Certification and Operations will

continue to address those issues, as well

as FAA/JAA harmonization issues.
