                     Subpart A_Rulemaking Procedures

 

Sec. 11.27  Are there other ways FAA collects specific rulemaking 

recommendations before we issue an NPRM?



    Yes, the FAA obtains advice and recommendations from rulemaking 

advisory committees. One of these committees is the Aviation Rulemaking 

Advisory Committee (ARAC), which is a formal standing committee 

comprised of representatives of aviation associations and industry, 

consumer groups, and interested individuals. In conducting its 

activities, ARAC complies with the Federal Advisory Committee Act and 

the direction of FAA. We task ARAC with providing us with recommended 

rulemaking actions dealing with specific areas and problems. If we 

accept an ARAC recommendation to change an FAA rule, we ordinarily 

publish an NPRM using the procedures in this part. The FAA may establish 

other rulemaking advisory committees as needed to focus on specific 

issues for a limited period of time.
