        <RULE_TITLE>Rules of Practice for Federally-Assisted Airport Enforcement Proceedings (RRR)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would update, simplify, and streamline rules of practice and procedure for filing and adjudicating complaints against federally-assisted airports. It would improve efficiency by enabling parties to file submissions with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) electronically, and by incorporating modern business practices into how the FAA handles complaints. This rulemaking is necessary to reflect changes in applicable laws and regulations, and to apply lessons learned since the existing rules were implemented in 1996. The intended effects of this action are to improve the efficiency of the complaint and investigation processes, and clarify process requirements for persons involved in complaint proceedings.  Small businesses, including general aviation operators and aviation service businesses such as fixed base operators (FBOs), charter providers, and aircraft management companies, who are often involved in complaints, would benefit from this rule because it would decrease time spent and volume of paper documents needed to process complaints by allowing parties to file electronically.]]></ABSTRACT>

SB: Y, IC: N, SLT: Y
Anticipated costs/benefits: The rulemaking adds no costs. Small businesses, including general aviation operators and aviation service businesses such as fixed base operators (FBOs), charter providers, and aircraft management companies, who are often involved in complaints, would benefit from this rule because it would decrease time spent and volume of paper documents needed to process complaints by allowing parties to file electronically. A new option allowing a respondent to file a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment would potentially reduce the length of the proceedings. Because the rule does not involve widespread, mandated information collection/record keeping, it does not have ICR implications.
