SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Section 10(a)(2) of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2), we are giving notice of a 
meeting of the ARAC taking place on April 20, 2017, at the Federal 
Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 
20591. The purpose of this meeting is to consider one or more new ARAC 
tasks.
    Improvement of regulations is a continuous focus for the 
Department. Accordingly, the Department regularly makes a conscientious 
effort to review its rules in accordance with the Department's 1979 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), 
Executive Order 12866, Executive Order 13563, and section 610 of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act. Through two new Executive Orders, President 
Trump directed agencies to further scrutinize its regulations. On 
January 30, 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 13771 titled 
``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs (EO).'' Under 
Section 2a of that Executive Order, unless prohibited by law, whenever 
an executive department or agency publicly proposes for notice and 
comment or otherwise promulgates a new regulation, it shall identify at 
least two existing regulations to be repealed.
    In addition, on February 24, 2017, President Trump signed Executive 
Order 13777 titled ``Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda.'' Under 
this Executive Order, each agency is required to establish a Regulatory 
Reform Task Force (RRTF) to evaluate existing regulations, and make 
recommendations for their repeal, replacement, or modification. As part 
of this process, the Department is directed to seek input/assistance 
from entities significantly affected by its regulations. Accordingly, 
the agenda for this ARAC meeting will be to task ARAC to consider (1) 
recommendations on existing regulations that are good candidates for 
repeal, replacement, or modification and (2) recommendations on 
regulatory action identified in FAA's Regulatory Agenda.
    The ARAC will also consider the new task Flight Test Harmonization 
Working Group- Transport Airplane Performance and Handling 
Characteristics, Phase 3 that was on the agenda for the March 16, 2017, 
ARAC meeting. At that meeting, all discussions on new tasks were 
postponed to later ARAC meetings.
    Attendance is open to the interested public but limited to the 
space available. Please confirm your attendance, either in person or by 
telephone, with the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 
CONTACT section no later than April 13, 2017. Please provide the
