SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 27, 2000, a notice was published in the Federal Register, 
65FR46192, announcing the FAA's intent to establish an Aircraft Repair 
and Maintenance Advisory Committee. The advisory committee was mandated 
by the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st 
Century, Public Law 106-81, section 734. The committee will review 
issues related to the use and oversight of aircraft and aviation 
component repair and maintenance facilities located within, our outside 
of, the United States. The original deadline for submission of 
applications was September 25, 2000. However, the FAA has determined 
that 60 days is too long an application period considering the 
compelling need for the work of the committee. Accordingly, the FAA 
finds that it is necessary to shorten the timeframe for submission of 
applications.
    This notice informs the public that the FAA will reduce the 
application period from 60 days to 30 days. Accordingly, requests for 
appointment should now be submitted on or before September 5, 2000.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 14, 2000.

Manager, Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Division.
