Dispatch Minimums
I know that you can dispatch to an airport under exemption 3585 that has the main body of a TAF that is above minimums but the remarks section will be below minimums, however my question is if you can dispatch to an airport where the main body of the TAF is below minimums, but the remarks section says that the weather would be above minimums at your time of arrival.

Yep, generally the same under the FAA, with certain stipulations.
At remote locations, where island reserve fuel is required, a different situation applies....the forecast must be valid for acceptable destination wx.

Under JAR rules bad wx at destination or even if no wx available, 2 alternates are needed.

As I remember under the FAA rules you have to believe from any combination of reports or forcasts that the wx will be at or above minimums (visibility) at the time of your arrival. Sometimes companies try to push this one. Just be sure in your own mind that if you get the invitation to court over it that you can put forward a darn good case of why you thought it would be above minimums.
I haven't flown in the States for about a year so I stand well ready to be corrected. I personally like the JAA view of the two alternate option, just chose wisely.
