SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice to advise interested parties of 
a briefing to be given by The Office of Environment and Energy on the 
status of the ICAO/CAEP process to be held on September 15, 1995. The 
ICAO/CAEP is a group of aviation experts from government and industry 
responsible for recommending international noise and emissions 
standards for civil aircraft and engines. The current status of the 
ICAO/CAEP process including formulation of a U.S. position for the 
forthcoming CAEP 3 meeting in December 1995 will be discussed.

DATES: The meeting will be held on September 15, 1995.

TIME: 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.

    In 1992, four working groups were established under the CAEP to 
pursue the work of the committee. Terms of reference were developed to 
undertake specific studies related to the control of aircraft noise and 
gaseous emissions from aircraft engines. The working groups efforts 
also took into account the following;
     Effectiveness and reliability of certification schemes 
from the viewpoint of technical feasibility, economic reasonableness 
and environmental benefit to be achieved.
     Development in other associated fields, e.g. land-use 
planning, noise abatement, operating procedures, emission control 
through operational practices, etc.; and
     International and national programs of research into 
control of aircraft noise and control of gaseous emissions from 
aircraft engines.
    The working groups have completed their studies and the findings 
were presented in Bonn, Germany June, 1995.
    The agenda for the September meeting will include:
     Status report on the noise and emission position.
     ICAO/CAEP process
     Question and answer period.
    Attendance is open to the public, but will be limited to the space 
available. Arrangements can be made by contacting the person listed 
under the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Sign and oral 
interpretation can be made available at the meeting, as well as an
