SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 12, 2014, the FAA published an immediate final rule 
entitled ``Orders of Compliance, Cease and Desist Orders, Orders of 
Denial, and Other Orders'' (79 FR 46964). That rulemaking provides the 
opportunity for an informal conference with an FAA attorney before an 
order is issued under 14 CFR 13.20, the FAA's regulation covering 
orders other than certificate action and civil penalty orders. The 
change is necessary to provide additional fairness and process to those 
persons who are subject to such an order, and is consistent with the 
process available in other enforcement actions. These conferences may 
result in either a resolution of the matter or a narrowing of the 
issues, thereby conserving resources for respondents and the FAA.

Discussion of Comments

    The FAA received one comment on the immediate final rule. The 
National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) welcomed the FAA's 
amendment to Sec.  13.20. The NBAA recognized this change provides 
additional fairness to those subject to an order. The NBAA acknowledged 
this rule as a positive change for the industry.

Conclusion

    After consideration of the comments submitted in response to the 
immediate final rule, the FAA has determined that no revisions to the 
rule are warranted based on the comments received.

    Issued under authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 44701(a), 
and 44707 in Washington, DC, on October 9, 2014.
Lirio Liu,
Director, Office of Rulemaking.
