Notice of Charter Renewal, RTCA, Inc. (Utilized as an Advisory 
Committee)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of RTCA Charter renewal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public of the 
renewal of the RTCA Charter (FAA Order 1110.77P) for two years, 
effective March 13, 2003. The Administrator is the sponsor of the 
committee. The objective of the advisory committee is to seek solutions 
to problems involving applied technology (for example, electronics, 
computers, and telecommunications) to aeronautical operations that 
impact the future air traffic management system. The solutions are 
often about recommended minimum operational performance standards and 
technical guidance documents that are acceptable to government, 
industry, and users. Standards ensure equivalent performance of the 
same generic equipment built by different manufacturers. Government 
regulatory and procurement practices reference or use RTCA standards 
(with or without change). 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.
