SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee 
was established by the Secretary of Transportation on January 22, 1991 
in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. ch. 10. 
The purpose of ARAC is to provide information, advice, and 
recommendations to the Secretary through the FAA Administrator 
concerning rulemaking activities, such as aircraft operations, airmen 
and air agency certification, airworthiness standards and 
certification, airports, maintenance, noise, and training.
    In particular, ARAC will provide advice and recommendations about 
significant safety initiatives that affect the aviation industry. The 
Committee is continuing, but it is subject to renewal every two years. 
The Committee is expected to meet three times annually. Unless 
otherwise required by law or approved by the Secretary, all meetings 
will be held virtually (or in a hybrid forum that does not require 
additional use of Federal funds).
    In this notice, the Department is soliciting nominations for 
membership to the Committee. The Committee shall report to the 
Secretary and shall comprise approximately 30 members, representing 
organizations directly and indirectly impacted by FAA regulations 
(e.g., aircraft owners and operators, airmen and flight crewmembers, 
airports, aircraft maintenance providers, aircraft manufacturers, 
public citizens and passenger groups, training providers, and labor 
organizations). Members are appointed by the Secretary of 
Transportation. Members will serve 2-year terms but may be reappointed. 
Past members of the advisory committee are welcome to apply. The 
Department is interested in ensuring membership is balanced fairly in 
terms of the points of view represented and the functions to be 
performed by the advisory committee.
    Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations: Qualified 
individuals can self-nominate or be nominated by any individual or 
organization. To be considered for ARAC, nominators should submit the 
following information:
    (1) Name, title, and relevant contact information (including phone, 
fax, and email address) of the individual requesting consideration;
    (2) A letter of support from a company, union, trade association, 
academic, or nonprofit organization on letterhead containing a brief 
description of why the nominee should be considered for membership;
    (3) A short biography of the nominee, including professional and 
academic credentials; and
    (4) An affirmative statement that the nominee meets all Committee 
eligibility requirements and identifies which stakeholder group they 
would represent.
    Please do not send company, trade association, or organization 
brochures or any other information. Materials submitted should total 
two pages or less. Should more information be needed, DOT staff will 
contact the nominee, obtain information from the nominee's past 
affiliations, or obtain information from publicly available sources, 
such as the internet.
    Nominations must be received before October 20, 2025. Nominees 
selected for appointment to the Committee will be notified by return 
email and by a letter of appointment.
