ADS-B Rulemaking
On October 5, 2007, the FAA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register seeking public comment to proposed avionics equipment and performance requirements for aircraft in specified airspace, including airspace surrounding the nation's busiest airports.The comment period closed on March 3, 2008.
The ADS-B Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) was established by the FAA Administrator under FAA Order 1110.147 to provide a forum for the U.S. aviation community to discuss and review the NPRM, formulate recommendations on presenting and structuring an ADS-B mandate, and consider additional actions that may be necessary to implement those recommendations.
The recommendations are summarized in a report from the ADS-B ARC to the FAA and are posted on the rulemaking docket web site at www.regulations.gov, under document identification number FAA-2007-29305-0221.1. In order to locate other documents and comments related to the NPRM, search using "FAA-2007-29305."
The FAA is in the process of drafting a final rule, which is scheduled to be issued in April 2010.
