Sec. 11.11  What is a final rule with request for comments?



    A final rule with request for comment is a rule that the FAA issues 

in final (with an effective date) that invites public comment on the 

rule. We usually do this when we have not first issued an ANPRM or NPRM, 

because we have found that doing so would be impracticable, unnecessary, 

or contrary to the public interest. We give our reasons for our 

determination in the preamble. The comment period often ends after the 

effective date of the rule. A final rule not preceded by an ANPRM or 

NPRM is commonly called an ``immediately adopted final rule.'' We invite 

comments on these rules only if we think that we will receive useful 

information. For example, we would not invite comments when we are just 

making an editorial clarification or correction.
