A Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) asks for comments on proposed rule changes. Anyone can make a submission during the public consultation period.
After the consultation period has closed, a summary of public submissions is published with our responses. We then prepare the draft final rule for the Ministry of Transport.
As a result of public submissions, the draft final rule may contain amendments to the proposal in the NPRM. Such changes are noted in our responses, and in the text supporting the draft final rule.
If any of the NPRM proposals are to be significantly amended as a result of the public submissions, we will engage in further consultation before the draft final rule is forwarded to the Ministry.
