SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
ARAC was established on January 22, 1991, under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) pursuant to Title 5 of the United States
Code, Appendix 2. The purpose of ARAC is to provide information,
advice, and recommendations to the Secretary of Transportation, through
the FAA Administrator, concerning rulemaking activities, such as
aircraft operations, airman and air agency certification, airworthiness
standards and certification, airports, maintenance, noise, and
training.
Description of Duties
ARAC will undertake only tasks assigned to it by FAA and provide
direct, first-hand information, advice, and recommendations by meeting
and exchanging ideas on the tasks assigned. In addition, ARAC will
respond to ad-hoc informational requests from FAA.
Membership
The ARAC is composed of members appointed by the Secretary of
Transportation upon recommendation by the FAA Administrator. All ARAC
members serve at the pleasure of the Secretary of Transportation. ARAC
will have no more than 30 members and is composed of representatives
from organizations directly and indirectly impacted by FAA regulations.
These organizations include aircraft owners and operators, airmen and
flight crewmembers, airports, aircraft maintenance providers, aircraft
manufacturers, public citizen and passenger groups, training providers,
and labor organizations. The designated organizations are intended to
provide balanced representation in terms of knowledge, expertise, and
points of view of interested parties relative to the ARAC's tasks. Each
voting member holds appropriate authority in the designated
organization to speak for it and the community or industry represented.
In addition, members provide a balance in points of view regarding the
functions and tasks to be performed by ARAC. Members are appointed for
a 2-year term.
Nomination Process
The Secretary is seeking individual nominations for membership to
the ARAC. Any interested person may nominate one or more qualified
individuals for membership on ARAC. Self-nominations are also accepted.
Nominations must include, in full, the following materials to be
considered for membership. Failure to submit the
[[Page 25074]]
required information may disqualify a candidate from the review
process.
a. A biography, including professional and academic credentials.
b. A r[eacute]sum[eacute] or curriculum vitae, which must include
relevant job experience, qualifications, as well as contact information
(email, telephone, and mailing address).
c. A one-page statement describing how the candidate will benefit
ARAC, taking into account the candidate's unique perspective that will
advance the conversation. This statement must also identify the
stakeholder group that the candidate would represent.
Finally, candidates should state their previous experience on a
Federal advisory committee and/or aviation rulemaking committee (if
any), their level of expertise in the stakeholder group they wish to
represent, and the size of the constituency they represent or are able
to reach.
Current ARAC members who wish to be reappointed to the committee
must respond to this solicitation notice.
Evaluations will be based on the materials submitted.
The Secretary will make every effort to appoint members to serve on
ARAC from among those candidates determined to have the technical
expertise required to meet Departmental needs, and in a manner to
ensure an appropriate balance of membership. The selection of committee
members will be consistent with achieving the greatest impact, scope,
and credibility among diverse stakeholders. An effort will be made to
appoint members who represent a range of organizations directly or
indirectly impacted by FAA regulations. To the extent practicable, the
membership of the committee will include persons with lived experience
and knowledge of the needs of underrepresented groups. The Secretary
reserves the discretion to appoint members to serve on ARAC who were
not nominated in response to this notice if necessary to meet
Departmental needs in a manner to ensure an appropriate balance of
membership.
Issued in Washington, DC, on April 21, 2022.
Brandon Roberts,
Executive Director, Office of Rulemaking.
