Federal Register Dispositions of Petitions for Exemption

This final rule amends FAA regulations dealing with how the FAA notifies petitioners of its decisions on petitions for exemption. This rule change eliminates the requirement for the FAA to publish dispositions of petitions for exemption in the Federal Register. This change is intended to streamline our process and will save the agency the cost of publication. Publishing dispositions in the Federal Register is unnecessary because petitioners are notified in writing of FAA's decision and the decision is placed in the public docket, which is internet accessible and searchable.
