It is the sense of Congress that— the Administrator should— engage with aviation stakeholder groups and the public during pre-drafting stages of rulemaking activities and use, to the greatest extent practicable, properly docketed ex parte discussions during rulemaking activities in order to— inform the work of the Administrator; assist the Administrator in developing the scope of a rule; and reduce the timeline for issuance of proposed and final rules; rely on documented data and safety trends when determining whether or not to proceed with a rulemaking activity; and not consider a rulemaking activity required in statute, for the purposes of ex parte communications, as having been established on the date of enactment of the related public law, but rather upon obtainment of a regulation identifier number; and when it would reduce the time required for the Administrator to adjudicate public comments, the Administrator should publicly provide information describing the rationale behind a regulatory decision included in proposed regulations in order to better allow for the public to provide clear and informed comments on such regulations.
