Subpart A—General Provisions
§ 14.01
Purpose of these rules.
The Equal Access to Justice Act, 5
U.S.C. 504 (the Act), provides for the
award of attorney fees and other ex-
penses to eligible individuals and enti-
ties who are parties to certain adminis-
trative proceedings (adversary adju-
dications) before the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA). An eligible
party may receive an award when it
prevails over the FAA, unless the agen-
cy’s position in the proceeding was sub-
stantially justified or special cir-
cumstances make an award unjust. The
rules in this part describe the parties
eligible for awards and the proceedings
that are covered. They also explain
how to apply for awards, and the proce-
dures and standards that the FAA De-
cisionmaker will use to make them. As
