SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 5, 2012, the FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled, ``Rules of Practice for Federally-Assisted Airport Enforcement Proceedings (Retrospective Regulatory Review)'' (77 FR 13027). In that NPRM, the FAA proposed to update, simplify, and streamline rules of practice and procedure for filing and adjudicating complaints against federally-assisted airports. The proposed requirements would improve efficiency by enabling parties to file submissions with the FAA electronically, and by incorporating modern business practices into how the FAA handles complaints. If adopted, the amendment would reflect changes in applicable laws and regulations, and apply lessons learned since the existing rules were implemented in 1996.

Correction

In FR Doc. 2012-4993, beginning on page 13027 in the Federal Register of March 5, 2012, make the following correction: On page 13027, in the second column and fourth line under the NPRM's publication, correct ``Notice No. 12-01'' to read as ``Notice No. 12-02''.

Issued in Washington, DC, on March 26, 2012. Pamela Hamilton-Powell, Director, Office of Rulemaking. [FR Doc. 2012-8121 Filed 4-3-12; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-13-P
