Sec. 77.43  Nature of hearing.



    Sections 4, 5, 7, and 8 of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 

U.S.C. 1003, 1004, 1006, and 1007) do not apply to hearings held on 

proposed construction or alteration to determine its effect on the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of navigable airspace because 

those hearings are factfinding in nature. As a factfinding procedure, 

each hearing is nonadversary and there are no formal pleadings or 

adverse parties.
