SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Participation at the Meeting

    Requests from persons who wish to present oral statements at the 
public meeting should be received by the FAA no later than March 31, 
1995. Such requests should be submitted to Ms. Nicole Romeo as listed 
in the section titled FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT and should 
include a written summary of oral remarks to be presented, and an 
estimate of time needed for the presentation. Requests received after 
the date specified above will be scheduled if time is available during 
the meeting; however, the name of those individuals may not appear on 
the written agenda.
    The FAA will prepare an agenda of speakers who will be available at 
the meeting. Every effort will be made to accommodate as many speakers 
as possible. In addition, the amount of time allocated to each speaker 
may be less than the amount of time requested.

Meeting Procedures

    The following procedures are established to facilitate the meeting:
    (1) There will be no admission fee or other charge to attend or to 
participate in the meeting. The meeting will be open to all persons who 
have requested in advance to present statements or who register on the 
day of the meeting subject to availability of space in the meeting 
room.
    (2) There will be a morning and afternoon break and a lunch break.
    (3) The meeting may adjourn early if scheduled speakers complete 
their statements in less time than currently is scheduled for the 
meeting.
    (4) An individual, whether speaking in a personal or a 
representative capacity on behalf of an organization, may be limited to 
a 10-minute statement. If possible, we will notify the speaker if 
additional time is available.
    (5) The FAA will try to accommodate all speakers. If the available 
time does not permit this, speakers generally will be scheduled on a 
first-come-first-served basis. However, the FAA reserves the right to 
exclude some speakers if necessary to present a balance of viewpoints 
and issues.
    (6) Sign and oral interpretation can be made available at the 
meeting, as well as an assistive listening device, if requested at the 
above number 10 calendar days before the meeting.
    (7) Representatives of the FAA and JAA will preside over the 
meeting.
    (8) The meeting will be recorded by a court reporter. A transcript 
of the meeting and any material accepted by the panel during the 
meeting will be made a part of the official record. Any person who is 
interested in purchasing a copy of the transcript should contact the 
court reporter directly. This information will be available at the 
meeting.
    (9) The FAA will review and consider all material presented by 
participants at the meeting. Position papers or material presenting 
views or information related to proposed harmonization initiatives may 
be accepted at the discretion of the FAA and JAA presiding officers. 
The FAA requests that persons participating in the meeting provide five 
(5) copies of all materials to be presented for distribution to the 
panel members; other copies may be provided to the audience at the 
discretion of the participant.
    (10) Statements made by members of the meeting panel are intended 
to facilitate discussion of the issues or to clarify issues. Any 
statement made during the meeting by a member of the panel is not 
intended to be, and should not be construed as, a position of the FAA 
or JAA.
    (11) The meeting is designed to solicit public views and more 
complete information on proposed harmonization initiatives. Therefore, 
the meeting will be conducted in an informal and nonadversarial manner. 
No individual will be subject to cross-examination by any other 
participant; however, panel members may ask questions to clarify a 
statement and to ensure a complete and accurate record.
