5. DISPOSITION OF COMMENTS

5.1 General

As noted above, CARAC activities do not replace the public rule-making procedures now in place within the Government of Canada. Therefore, regulations will continue to be published for consultation in the Canada Gazette Part I.

Following the review of comments, a disposition of comments summary will be prepared by the Secretariat and will be made available upon request.

Normally, when regulatory proposals are discussed at CARAC, no significant comments are received following pre-publication in Canada Gazette, Part I. In such cases, CARC will assign the review and disposition of these comments to the functional group within TCCA. However, if comments resulting in substantive changes are received, CARC may then consider tasking the Technical Committee to recommend disposition of the comments. Accordingly, the following would be applicable.

5.2 Comments Assigned to CARAC

The Technical Committee will review and consider the comments and will recommend changes which may include redrafting the final rule, the development of advisory material, etc.

The Technical Committee may establish or reconvene a Working Group to complete the task, or do the work itself.

The CARAC Secretariat will then publish a notice announcing assignment of the task (and establishment of the Working Group, if appropriate), citing the applicable references. The notice may solicit participation of non-CARAC individuals.

The preamble or RIAS prepared for the final document will be amended to state the effect that the comments had on the regulatory proposal and that it resulted from a CARAC recommendation.

5.3 Comments Assigned to Transport Canada Civil Aviation

If TCCA receives, or expects to receive, significant comments on a proposal and chooses to review the comments and recommend the disposition itself, TCCA will review and consider the comments and will recommend changes which may include redrafting the final rule, the development of advisory material, etc. The preamble or RIAS prepared for the final document will be amended to state the effect that the comments had on the regulatory proposal.
