when we find that the airworthiness
regulations for an aircraft, aircraft engine, or propeller design do not contain
adequate or appropriate safety standards, because of a novel or unusual design feature.

Section 11.23 Does FAA follow the same procedures in issuing all types of
rules?
Yes, in general, FAA follows the
same procedures for all rule types.
There are some differences as to which
FAA official has authority to issue
each type, and where you send petitions for FAA to adopt, amend, or repeal each type. Assume that the procedures in this subpart apply to all rules,
except where we specify otherwise.

[Doc. No. 1999-6622, 65 FR 50863, Aug. 21, 2000,
as amended at 72 FR 68474, Dec. 5, 2007]

Section 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.

Section 11.25 How does FAA issue rules?
(a) The FAA uses APA rulemaking
procedures to adopt, amend, or repeal
regulations. To propose or adopt a new
regulation, or to change a current regulation, FAA will issue one or more of
the following documents. We publish
these rulemaking documents in the
FEDERAL REGISTER unless we name and
personally serve a copy of a rule on
every person subject to it. We also
make all documents available to the
public by posting them in the Federal
Docket Management System at http://
www.regulations.gov.
(1) An advance notice of proposed
rulemaking (ANPRM).
(2) A notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
