# §161.211. Optional use of 14 CFR part 150 procedures.

- (a) An airport operator may use the procedures in [part 150](/cfr/14/part150.md) of this chapter, instead of the procedures described in §§ [161.203(b)](/cfr/14/161.203.md?p=b) and [161.209(b)](/cfr/14/161.209.md?p=b), as a means of providing an adequate public notice and comment opportunity on a proposed Stage 2 restriction.
- (b) If the airport operator elects to use [14 CFR part 150](/cfr/14/part150.md) procedures to comply with this subpart, the operator shall:
  - (1) Ensure that all parties identified for direct notice under [§ 161.203(b)](/cfr/14/161.203.md?p=b) are notified that the airport's [14 CFR part 150](/cfr/14/part150.md) program will include a proposed Stage 2 restriction under [part 161](/cfr/14/part161.md), and that these parties are offered the opportunity to participate as consulted parties during the development of the [14 CFR part 150](/cfr/14/part150.md) program;
  - (2) Provide the FAA with a full text of the proposed restriction, including any sanctions for noncompliance, at the time of the notice;
  - (3) Include the information in § [161.203 (c)(2) through (c)(5)](/cfr/14/161.203.md?p=c-2..c-5) and [161.205](/cfr/14/161.205.md) in the analysis of the proposed restriction for the [part 14 CFR](/cfr/14/part14.md) [part 150](/cfr/14/part150.md) program;
  - (4) Wait 180 days following the availability of the above analysis for review by the consulted parties and compliance with the above notice requirements before implementing the Stage 2 restriction; and
  - (5) Include in its [14 CFR part 150](/cfr/14/part150.md) submission to the FAA evidence of compliance with paragraphs [(b)(1)](#b-1) and [(b)(4)](#b-4) of this section, and the analysis in [paragraph (b)(3)](#b-3) of this section, together with a clear identification that the [14 CFR part 150](/cfr/14/part150.md) program includes a proposed Stage 2 restriction under [part 161](/cfr/14/part161.md).
- (c) The FAA determination on the [14 CFR part 150](/cfr/14/part150.md) submission does not constitute approval or disapproval of the proposed Stage 2 restriction under [part 161](/cfr/14/part161.md).
- (d) An amendment of a restriction may also be processed under [14 CFR part 150](/cfr/14/part150.md) procedures in accordance with this section.
