SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee
was established by the Secretary of Transportation on January 22, 1991
in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. ch. 10.
The purpose of ARAC is to provide information, advice, and
recommendations to the Secretary through the FAA Administrator
concerning rulemaking activities, such as aircraft operations, airmen
and air agency certification, airworthiness standards and
certification, airports, maintenance, noise, and training.
In particular, ARAC will provide advice and recommendations about
significant safety initiatives that affect the aviation industry. The
Committee is continuing, but it is subject to renewal every two years.
The Committee is expected to meet three times annually. Unless
otherwise required by law or approved by the Secretary, all meetings
will be held virtually (or in a hybrid forum that does not require
additional use of Federal funds).
In this notice, the Department is soliciting nominations for
membership to the Committee. The Committee shall report to the
Secretary and shall comprise approximately 30 members, representing
organizations directly and indirectly impacted by FAA regulations
(e.g., aircraft owners and operators, airmen and flight crewmembers,
airports, aircraft maintenance providers, aircraft manufacturers,
public citizens and passenger groups, training providers, and labor
organizations). Members are appointed by the Secretary of
Transportation. Members will serve 2-year terms but may be reappointed.
Past members of the advisory committee are welcome to apply. The
Department is interested in ensuring membership is balanced fairly in
terms of the points of view represented and the functions to be
performed by the advisory committee.
Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations: Qualified
individuals can self-nominate or be nominated by any individual or
organization. To be considered for ARAC, nominators should submit the
following information:
(1) Name, title, and relevant contact information (including phone,
fax, and email address) of the individual requesting consideration;
(2) A letter of support from a company, union, trade association,
academic, or nonprofit organization on letterhead containing a brief
description of why the nominee should be considered for membership;
(3) A short biography of the nominee, including professional and
academic credentials; and
(4) An affirmative statement that the nominee meets all Committee
eligibility requirements and identifies which stakeholder group they
would represent.
Please do not send company, trade association, or organization
brochures or any other information. Materials submitted should total
two pages or less. Should more information be needed, DOT staff will
contact the nominee, obtain information from the nominee's past
affiliations, or obtain information from publicly available sources,
such as the internet.
Nominations must be received before October 20, 2025. Nominees
selected for appointment to the Committee will be notified by return
email and by a letter of appointment.
Issued in Washington, DC, on September 12, 2025.
