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

Emergency Evacuation as an issue on

which it would provide advice and

recommendations to the FAA. With

respect to this issue, the Aviation

Rulemaking Advisory Committee would

provide advice and recommendations

on enhancing the ability of passengers

to quickly and safety evacuate an

aircraft in an emergency.

The Aviation Rulemaking Advisory

Committee has provided several

recommendations on issues involving

Emergency Evacuation, and the FAA

has determined it appropriate to now

expand activities of this issue to include

tasks associated with occupant safety

and protection. As such, the name has

been changed to reflect this broader

scope. The Aviation Rulemaking

Advisory Committee on Occupant

Safety will provide advice and

recommendations to the FAA and Joint

Aviation Authorities (JAA) on a range of

rulemaking activities concerning

occupant safety and protection and

emergency evacuation.

Recommendations should consider

harmonizing Federal Aviation

Regulations and guidance material with

Joint Aviation Requirements and

advisory circulars joint.

The leadership and operating

procedures for Occupant Safety will be

similar to that which supported

activities concerning Emergency

Evacuation and consistent with the

terms of the ARAC charter.

Recommendations concerning

Occupant Safety may include reports,

proposed rules, and guidance and

advisory materials and should be

harmonized to the maximum extent

practicable. The ARAC may choose to

establish working groups to provide

technical support in carrying out the

tasks assigned.

Participation

The ARAC Occupant Safety issues

area is composed of representatives

from organizations who have interest in
