The FAA may respond to your petition
for rulemaking in one of the following
ways:

justifies our taking the action you suggest, we may issue an NPRM or

consider:

FAA must deal with; and
(3) The resources we have available
to address these issues.
(b) If we have issued an ANPRM or
NPRM on the subject matter of your
petition, we will consider your arguments for a rule change as a comment
in connection with the rulemaking proceeding. We will not treat your petition as a separate action.
(c) If we have begun a rulemaking
project in the subject area of your petition, we will consider your comments

part of that project. We will not treat
your petition as a separate action.

the general subject area of your petition, we will ask ARAC to review and
evaluate your proposed action. We will
not treat your petition as a separate
action.

you identify in your petition may have
merit, but do not address an immediate
safety concern or cannot be addressed
because of other priorities and resource
constraints, we may dismiss your peti-
