Rules of Practice in FAA Civil Penalty Actions

We are amending the procedural regulations governing the FAA's administrative assessment of civil penalties for violations of certain provisions of the Federal aviation statute and the Federal hazardous materials. We are also amending the FAA's procedural regulations governing non-civil penalty enforcement matters. These change are necessary to update the regulations and to reflect statutory changes. The intended effect of these changes is to ensure that regulated parties have current and correct procedural information.
