Rulemaking

The Office of Rulemaking provides general rule information on published regulatory documents. We welcome the public to participate in rulemaking by sending comments and petitions for exemptions. The rulemaking committees provide advice and recommendations for aviation-related issues, aging system reviews, and terminal area operations.

We are committed to aerospace safety, and we value your feedback.
