ACTION: Notice of charter renewal, RTCA, Inc. (utilized as an advisory 
committee).

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the renewal of the charter for RTCA, 
Inc. (utilized as an advisory committee) for 2 years, effective March 
14, 2001. The Administrator is the sponsor of the committee. The 
objective of the advisory committee is to seek solutions to problems 
involving the application of technology (e.g., electronics, computers, 
and telecommunications) to aeronautical operations that impact the 
future air traffic management system. The solutions are frequently in 
the nature of recommended minimum operational performance standards and 
technical guidance documents which are acceptable to Government, 
industry, and users. Standards ensure equivalent performance of the 
same generic equipment built by different

without modification) in Government regulatory and procurement 
activities.
    The Secretary of Transportation has determined that the information 
and use of the committee are necessary in the public interest in 
connection with the performance of duties imposed on the FAA by law. 
Meetings of the committee will be open to the public except as 
authorized by section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
