Section 11.35

14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)

and makes it easy for you to track
those rulemaking proceedings in both
the FEDERAL REGISTER and the semiannual regulatory agenda.

Section 11.38 What public comment procedures does the FAA follow for Special Conditions?
Even though the Administrative Procedure Act does not require notice and
comment for rules of particular applicability, FAA does publish proposed
special conditions for comment. In the
following circumstances we may not
invite comment before we issue a special condition. If we don-t, we will invite comment when we publish the
final special condition.
(a) The FAA considers prior notice to
be impracticable if issuing a design approval would significantly delay delivery of the affected aircraft. We consider such a delay to be contrary to the
public interest.
(b) The FAA considers prior notice to
be unnecessary if we have provided previous opportunities to comment on
substantially identical proposed special conditions, and we are satisfied
that new comments are unlikely.

Section 11.35 Does FAA include sensitive security information and proprietary
information in the Federal Docket
Management System (FDMS)?
(a) Sensitive security information. You
should not submit sensitive security
information to the rulemaking docket,
unless you are invited to do so in our
request for comments. If we ask for
this information, we will tell you in
the specific document how to submit
this information, and we will provide a
separate non-public docket for it. For
all proposed rule changes involving
civil aviation security, we review comments as we receive them, before they
are placed in the docket. If we find that
a comment contains sensitive security
information, we remove that information before placing the comment in the
general docket.
(b) Proprietary information. When we
are aware of proprietary information
filed with a comment, we do not place
it in the docket. We hold it in a separate file to which the public does not
have access, and place a note in the
docket that we have received it. If we
receive a request to examine or copy
this information, we treat it as any
other request under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). We process such a request under the DOT procedures found in 49 CFR part 7.

Section 11.39 How may I participate in FAA-s
rulemaking process?
You may participate in FAA-s rulemaking process by doing any of the following:
(a) File written comments on any
rulemaking document that asks for
comments, including an ANPRM,
NPRM, SNPRM, a final rule with request for comments, or a direct final
rule. Follow the directions for commenting found in each rulemaking document.
(b) Ask that we hold a public meeting
on any rulemaking, and participate in
any public meeting that we hold.
(c) File a petition for rulemaking
that asks us to adopt, amend, or repeal
a regulation.
