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, 
academic, or nonprofit organization on letterhead containing a brief

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

    (4) An affirmative statement that the nominee meets all Committee 
eligibility requirements and identifies which stakeholder group they
