1、33 Federal Aviation Administration, DOT Pt. 13 course of action to be taken, we will an-nounce the meeting in the FEDERAL REG-ISTER. We will also consider reopening the comment period. If an inappropriate ex parte contact does occur after the comment period closes, a summary of the contact and a cop
2、y of any material distributed during meeting will be placed in the docket if it could be seen as influencing the rulemaking process. 11. Under what circumstances will FAA reopen the comment period? If we receive an ex parte communication after the comment period has closed that could substantially i
3、nfluence the rule-making, we may reopen the comment period. DOT policy requires the agency to carefully consider whether the substance of the con-tact will give the commenter an unfair ad-vantage, since the rest of the public may not see the record of the contact in the docket. When the substance of
4、 a proposed rule is sig-nificantly changed as a result of such an oral communication, DOT policy and practice re-quires that the comment period be reopened by issuing a supplemental NPRM in which the reasons for the change are discussed. 12. What if I have important information for FAA and the comme
5、nt period is closed? You may always provide FAA with written information after the close of the comment period and it will be considered if time per-mits. Because contacts after the close of the comment may not be seen by other inter-ested persons, if they substantially and spe-cifically influence t
6、he FAAs decision, we may need to reopen the comment period.
