Another Part of the Envelope - Aviation Advocacy from Let's Go Flying by Steve Tupper
... For example, as you're probably aware, the Transportation Security Administration (the "TSA") promulgated a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (an "NPRM") in October in which the TSA set out to make new rules that affect "large aircraft" (defined by regulation as any aircraft certified to take off with passengers, cargo, fuel, etc. at more than 12,500 pounds). The new TSA program is called the Large aircraft Security Program (or "LASP").
Federal agencies often (but not always) publish an NPRM when they're thinking about making big or important regulations. The NPRM usually contains the text of the proposed rule and some explanatory material in which the agency tells the public what's on the agency's mind and why it is proposing to make the regulation. After the NPRM is published in the Federal Register, the agency gives the public an amount of time during which to comment, and then the agency ostensibly takes the public comments into account in making the rule.
The comment period for the LASP just ended on Friday, February 27. Thousands of pilots and others commented on the proposed LASP. ...
