# §11.25. How does FAA issue rules?

- (a) **The FAA uses APA rulemaking procedures to adopt, amend, or repeal regulations.** To propose or adopt a new regulation, or to change a current regulation, FAA will issue one or more of the following documents. We publish these rulemaking documents in the Federal Register unless we name and personally serve a copy of a rule on every person subject to it. We also make all documents available to the public by posting them in the Federal Docket Management System at http://www.regulations.gov.
  - (1) **An advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM).**
  - (2) **A notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).**
  - (3) **A supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM).**
  - (4) **A final rule.**
  - (5) **A final rule with request for comments.**
  - (6) **A direct final rule.**
- (b) Each of the rulemaking documents in [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section generally contains the following information:
  - (1) **The topic involved in the rulemaking document.**
  - (2) **FAA's legal authority for issuing the rulemaking document.**
  - (3) How interested persons may participate in the rulemaking proceeding (for example, by filing written comments or making oral presentations at a public meeting).
  - (4) **Whom to call if you have questions about the rulemaking document.**
  - (5) The date, time, and place of any public meetings FAA will hold to discuss the rulemaking document.
