The Direct Final Rule Procedure 

The FAA anticipates that this 

regulation will not result in adverse or 

negative comment and therefore is 

issuing it as a direct final rule. 

A substantial number of previous 

opportunities provided to the public to 

comment on substantially identical 

actions have resulted in negligible 

adverse comments or objections. Unless 

a written adverse or negative comment, 

or a written notice of intent to submit 

an adverse or negative comment is 

received within the comment period, 

the regulation will become effective on 

the date specified above. After the close 

of the comment period, the FAA will 

publish a document in the Federal 

Register indicating that no adverse or 

negative comments were received and 

confirming the date on which the final 

rule will become effective. If the FAA 

does receive, within the comment 

period, an adverse or negative comment, 

or written notice of intent to submit 

such a comment, a document will be 

published in the Federal Register. This 

document may withdraw the direct final 

rule in whole or in part. 

After considering the adverse or 

negative comment, we may publish 

another direct final rule or publish a 

notice of proposed rulemaking with a 

new comment period. 

Comments Invited 

Although this action is in the form of 

a final rule and was not preceded by a 

notice of proposed rulemaking, 

comments are invited on this rule. 

Interested person are invited to 

comment on this rule by submitting 

such written data, views, or arguments, 

as they may desire. Communications 

should identify the Rules Docket
