 Change:

 Date: 7/26/84

 Initiated

 by: AMS-420

 Subject: NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING DISTRIBUTION

 SYSTEM

 1. PURPOSE. This circular provides the public with information

 relative to the participation in the Federal Aviation

 Administration (FAA) rulemaking process and the availability of

 Notices of Proposed Rulemaking.

 2. CANCELLATION. AC 11-2, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

 Distribution System, dated 12/17/75, is cancelled.

 3. REFERENCE. Federal Aviation Regulations Part 11, General

 Rule-Making Procedures.

 4. GENERAL. Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR's) promote and

 regulate civil aviation in a manner that will provide for safety

 of flight and foster its development, and also provide for the

 safe efficient use of the airspace. Since the various segments

 of aviation undergo continual change, it is particularly

 important that the FAR's be amended as often as necessary to

 accommodate the changing conditions. The FAR's are categorized

 by subject matter and identified by FAR Part numbers and titles,

 as listed in Appendix 1 of this advisory circular.

 5. FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATION AMENDMENTS. When an amendment to

 a FAR is proposed in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) it is

 published in the Federal Register. This NPRM not only announces

 the proposal but it also invites the public to participate in the

 rulemaking process by submitting written data, views, or

 arguments prior to a specific date. Each response contributes to

 the evaluation of the proposal and is considered in the

 development of the amendment to the FAR which is also published
 in the Federal Register.

 6. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THE RULEMAKING PROCESS. In order to

 develop FAR's that are responsive to the needs and desires of the

 public and that conform with the regulatory responsibilities of
 FAA, it is essential that the public participate in the

 rulemaking process to the fullest practicable extent. Since the

 NPRM, which contains the official text of the proposal, should be

 thoroughly examined before comment is made, the FAA has

 established procedures to improve the availability and

 distribution of NPRM's to encourage greater participation in the

 rulemaking process.

 7. HOW TO OBTAIN A COPY OF A SPECIFIC NPRM.

 a. Where to Apply. Interested persons may obtain a copy of

 a specific NPRM that has been published in the Federal Register

 by writing to:

 Federal Aviation Administration

 Office of Public Affairs

 Attn: Public Inquiry Center, APA-430

 800 Independence Avenue, S. W.

 Washington, D. C. 20591

 b. Identify the NPRM Desired. The request should cite the

 docket number, notice number, or other reference such as the

 title, FAR Part number and date published in the Federal Register

 to identify the specific NPRM desired.

 c. Who Should Not Apply. Persons who are already on the

 NPRM mailing list pertaining to the same FAR Part as the NPRM

 desired should NOT apply. They will automatically receive a

 copy.

 8. NPRM MAILING LIST. Persons who have a continuing interest in

 certain FAR Parts and wish to receive all of the NPRM's that

 apply to those Parts may avail themselves of the NPRM Mailing

 List service. This service provides for the automatic mailing of

 NPRM's following publication in the Federal Register. There is

 no charge to the public for this service.

 a. Where to Apply. Interested persons may request to be

 placed on the NPRM Mailing List by writing to:

 U.S. Department of Transportation

 Distribution Requirements Sections, M-494.1

 Washington, D. C. 20590

 b. How to apply. The letter or post card requesting entry

 on the NPRM Mailing List should clearly show:

 (1) Title or Name
 Company or Organization

 Street Address

 City, State, Zip Code

 (a) Use title rather than name when the addressee

 is affiliated with a company, association, university, state

 agency, etcetera.

 (b) The number of characters and spaces on each

 line should not exceed 29.

 (2) The FAR Part number(s) for which NPRM's are desired

 (see Appendix 1 for a list of FAR Part numbers and their titles).

 c. How to Change the Listing Information. If the requester

 wishes to change the mailing address, add or delete FAR Part

 numbers, or discontinue receipt of NPRM's entirely, the desired

 change should be explained in a letter and sent to the address

 shown in paragraph 8 above. Enclose the address label from the

 most recent NPRM received.

 9. QUANTITY OF NPRM's REQUESTED. Increased costs for printing,

 paper, and postage place certain restrictions on the number of

 copies of an NPRM that may be sent to an individual. Therefore

 those persons who request multiple copies of an NPRM or copies of

 every NPRM published are requested to explain their needs when

 submitting their request.
