Sec. 11.53  What takes place at a public meeting?

    A public meeting is a non-adversarial, fact-finding proceeding 
conducted by an FAA representative. Public meetings are announced in the 
Federal Register. We invite interested persons to attend and to present 
their views to the agency on specific issues. There are no formal 
pleadings and no adverse parties, and any regulation issued afterward is 
not necessarily based exclusively on the record of the meeting.
