Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC. Attendance is open to the public up 
to the room's capacity; however, since access to the U.S. DOT 
headquarters building is controlled for security purposes, any member

Department contact noted below at least five (5) calendar days prior to 
the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 24, 2012, the Secretary, as mandated 
by Section 411 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 
112-95, 126 Stat. 11 (2012)), established the Advisory Committee on 
Aviation Consumer Protection and announced those persons appointed as 
members. Two earlier meetings of the committee were held on June 28 and 
August 7 of this year. The committee's charter, drafted in accordance 
with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. 
App. 2, sets forth policies for the operation of the advisory committee 
and is available on the Department's Web site at http://www.dot.gov/affairs/2012/dot5912.html.
    The third meeting of the committee is scheduled for October 2, 
2012, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time in the Oklahoma City 
Room at the Department's headquarters, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., 
Washington, DC 20590. The agenda for that meeting will consist of a 
discussion by committee members of recommendations for proposed 
initiatives to be presented to the Secretary of Transportation. The 
charter provides that the committee present its recommendations to the 
Secretary by October 15, 2012, and every effort will be made to submit 
the Committee's recommendations by that date.
    As announced in the notices of previous meetings of the committee, 
the meeting will be open to the public, and, time permitting, comments 
by members of the public are invited. Since access to the U.S. DOT 
headquarters building is controlled for security purposes, we ask that 
any member of the general public who plans to attend the third meeting 
notify the Department contact noted above no later than five (5) 
calendar days prior to the meeting. Attendance will be necessarily 
limited by the size of the meeting room.
    Members of the public may present written comments at any time. The 
docket number referenced above (OST-2012-0087, available at https://www.regulations.gov) has been established for committee documents 
including any written comments that may be filed. At the discretion of 
the Chairperson and time permitting, after completion of the planned 
agenda, individual members of the public may provide oral comments. Any 
oral comments presented must be limited to the objectives of the 
committee and will be limited to five (5) minutes per person. 
Individual members of the public who wish to present oral comments must 
notify the Department contact noted above via email that they wish to 
attend and present oral comments at least five (5) calendar days prior 
to the meeting. This meeting, however, will be primarily devoted to 
discussion among committee members of possible initial recommendations 
to the Secretary which are due on October 15, 2012. In light of this 
agenda and the time constraints imposed by the committee's charter, we 
anticipate that the time available for oral presentations and comments 
by the general public will be significantly more limited than in prior 
meetings.
    Persons with a disability who plan to attend the meeting and 
require special accommodations, such as an interpreter for the hearing 
impaired, should notify the Department contact noted above at least 
seven (7) calendar days prior to the meeting. Persons attending with a 
service animal should also advise us of that fact so that it can be 
taken into account in connection with space and possible allergy 
issues.
    Notice of this meeting is being provided in accordance with the 
FACA and the General Services Administration regulations covering 
management of Federal advisory committees. (41 CFR part 102-3.)

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 28, 2012.

Assistant General Counsel for Aviation Enforcement & Proceedings, U.S. 
Department of Transportation.
