SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Pursuant to section 10(a)(2) of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463; 5 U.S.C. app. III), notice is 
given of an ad hoc ARAC meeting to be held Febuary 8, 2000, at the 
Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave., Room 810, 
Washington, DC. The meeting is being held to approve items that had 
been expected to be voted on, but were not because of time constraints, 
at the December 1999 TAE meeting. At that time, TAE members agreed to 
hold an ad hoc meeting/teleconference for the expressed purpose of 
voting on only those items carried over from the December meeting.
    The agenda will include the following actions:
     The Engine Harmonization Working Group (HWG) plans to 
request approval to submit a package to the FAA for formal legal and 
economic reviews. The package contains a proposed notice of rulemaking 
and associated advisory circulars that address type certificates for 
aircraft propellers, fatigue limits and evaluation, propeller control 
system, vibration and fatigue evaluation, safety analysis, and 
propeller certificate handbook.
     The Human Factors HWG will be requesting approval of its 
work plan on flight crew error/flight crew performance considerations 
in the flight deck certification process.
     The Electrical System HWG plans to request TAE approval to 
submit its report on electrical generating and distribution systems and 
electrical bonding and protection against lighting and static 
electricity.
     The Loads and Dynamics HWG plans to request approval of a 
proposed advisory circular addressing design dive speed.
    Attendance is open to the public, but will be limited to the 
availability of meeting room space and telephone lines. The public may 
participate by teleconference by contracting the person listed under 
the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT after Febuary 2. The public 
must make arrangements by February 4 to present oral statements at the 
meeting. Written statements may be presented to the committee at any 
time by providing 25 copies to the Assistant Executive Director for 
Transport Airplane and Engine issues or by providing copies at the 
meeting. Copies of the documents to be voted upon may be made available 
by contacting the person listed under the heading FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT.
    If you are in need of assistance or require a reasonable 
accommodation for the meeting or meeting documents, please contact the 
person listed under the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Sign 
and oral interpretation, as well as a listening device, can be made 
available if requested 10 calendar days before the meeting.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on January 20, 2000.
