The Future of Aviation Advisory Committee (FAAC) Subcommittee on 
Labor and World-Class Workforce; Notice of Meeting

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of Transportation, Department of 
Transportation.

ACTION: The Future of Aviation Advisory Committee (FAAC) Subcommittee 
on Labor and World-class Workforce; amendment to notice of meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Transportation (DOT), Office of the 
Secretary of Transportation, announced a meeting of the FAAC 
Subcommittee on Labor and World-class Workforce, which will be held via 
teleconference. A call-in number and pass code will be issued upon 
registration. This notice announced the date and time of the meeting, 
which will be open to the public. The purpose of the FAAC is to provide 
advice and recommendations to the Secretary of Transportation to ensure 
the competitiveness of the U.S. aviation industry and its capability to 
effectively manage the evolving transportation needs, challenges, and 
opportunities of the global economy. The subcommittee is charged with 
ensuring the availability and quality of a workforce necessary to 
support a robust, expanding commercial aviation industry in light of 
the changing socio-economic dynamics of the world's technologically 
advanced economies. Among other matters, the subcommittee will examine 
three issues affecting the future employment requirements of the 
aviation industry: (1) The need for science, technology, engineering, 
and math skills in the industry; (2) the creation of a culture of 
dignity and respect in workplace; and (3) the effect of NextGen on 
various workforces. This teleconference meeting was described as 
``solely for discussion with Mr. Joshua M. Javits, a professional 
arbitrator and mediator, who has mediated a number of air carrier 
labor-management disputes.'' However, at the subcommittee meeting on 
September 23, 2010, it was determined additional time would be needed 
during the October 1, 2010, meeting to refine the subcommittee's topic 
proposals for presentation to the full FAAC on October 20, 2010. 
Accordingly, in addition to the scheduled discussion with Mr. Javits on 
October 1, the subcommittee will discuss possible actionable items for 
presentation at the October 20 FAAC meeting in Los Angeles, California, 
and work related to the general responsibilities of the subcommittee.

DATES: The meeting will be held on October 1, 2010, from 1 p.m. to 4 
p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held via teleconference. A call-in 
number and pass code will be issued upon registration. (See below for 
registration instructions.)
    Public Access: The meeting is open to the public. (See below for 
registration instructions.)

subcommittee should file comments in the Public Docket (Docket Number 
DOT-OST-2010-0074 at  http://www.Regulations.Gov) or alternatively
