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 T="03">e.g.,</E> 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. <E T="03">Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations:</E> Qualified individuals can self-nominate or be nominated by any individual or organization.
