SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: REDAC was established by the Secretary of
Transportation pursuant to Public Law (Pub. L.) 100-591 (1988), Public
Law 101-508 (1990), and 49 U.S.C. 44508, and it is operated in
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. ch. 10.
The purpose of REDAC is to provide advice to the FAA Administrator
regarding the needs, objectives, plans, approaches, content, and
accomplishments with respect to aviation research.
In particular, REDAC will consider aviation research, future
technology, and the National Airspace System--present and future. The
Committee will also assist in ensuring that such research is
coordinated with similar research being conducted outside of FAA. In
addition, the Committee will review and comment on the aviation
research grants program and on the research and training to be carried
out by air transportation centers of excellence. The Committee will be
continuing and is currently in operation with an indefinite charter.
The Committee is expected to meet twice per year, approximately every
six months. If necessary, additional meetings may be added to address
critical concerns. Unless otherwise required by law or approved by the
Secretary, all meetings will be held virtually.
In this notice, the Department is soliciting nominations for
membership to the Committee. The Committee shall report to the FAA
Administrator and shall comprise approximately 30 members representing
universities, corporations, associations, consumers, other government
agencies, and regional centers of air transportation excellence.
Members will serve 2-year terms but may be reappointed. Past members of
the 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 Committee.
Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations: Qualified
individuals can self-nominate or be nominated by any individual or
organization. To be considered for REDAC, 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,

(3) A short biography of the nominee, including professional and
