ANN Reader Dwight wrote us, "Here's some
information that the aviation community needs:
"The
U.S. government has opened a new Web site intended to make it
easier for individuals to comment on federal rulemaking, whether
from the FAA, TSA, or any other federal agency. On this
site, you can find, review and submit comments on
documents that are open for comment and published in the Federal
Register. For example, on the first page in the upper right
section, if you search by agency name for TSA, a list of proposed regulations and relevant
data comes up along with both HTML and PDF versions of
the document(s). There is also a place to "Submit a comment on this
regulation" that takes you to a form to enter and submit your
comments. It is very simple and quick to submit a response."
[For example, the TSA's "Certificate Holder Blacklist" mandate ("This
final rule expressly makes a person ineligible to hold FAA-issued
airman certificates if the Transportation Security Administration
notifies the FAA in writing that the person poses a security
threat") can be seen there; and your comments are solicited. By
the way, if you could be so kind as to send us a copy
of your comments on this particular rule, we'd like to see it. If
you'd like us to strip your identity from your comment before we
file it, we will --ed.]
"The site provides simple access both to proposed regulations
and to submit a response. In the past many individuals found the
process of responding to notices of proposed rulemaking both
cumbersome and laborious, often finding it difficult to take the
time to respond. Now responding to a Notice Of Proposed Rulemaking
is as simple and quick as sending an email. With an organized
effort to communicate this information, along with posting a
reminder on how to respond in this fashion in future news articles
concerning proposed regulations, the aviation community should be
able to substantially increase responses and speak with a much
stronger voice. I hope this information is useful to you."
Thank you, Dwight!
