Sec.  106.10  Process for issuing rules.

    (a) RSPA (``we'') uses informal rulemaking procedures under the 
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) to add, amend, or delete

personally serve a copy of a rule on every person subject to it:
    (1) An advance notice of proposed rulemaking.
    (2) A notice of proposed rulemaking.
    (3) A final rule.
    (4) An interim final rule.
    (5) A direct final rule.
    (b) Each of the rulemaking documents in paragraph (a) of this 
section generally contains the following information:
    (1) The topic involved in the rulemaking document.
    (2) RSPA's legal authority for issuing the rulemaking document.
    (3) How interested persons may participate in the rulemaking 
proceeding (for example, by filing written comments or making oral 
presentations).
    (4) Whom to call if you have questions about the rulemaking 
document.
    (5) The date, time, and place of any public meetings being held to 
discuss the rulemaking document.
    (6) The docket number and regulation identifier number (RIN) for the
