NPRMs Closed for Submissions
A Summary of Public Submissions (SOPS) document is published on the CAA Web site after the public consultation period has closed for any given NPRM. The SOPS provides a summary of each submission received and the CAA response to the submission. The CAA responses provide the formal CAA position on the submission.
After publication of the SOPS the CAA prepares the draft final rule for delivery to the Ministry of Transport. As a result of public submissions, the draft final rule may contain amendments to the original rule proposal contained in the NPRM. All changes to the rule wording resulting from public submissions will be noted in the CAA responses and in the text supporting the draft final rule.
If any of the proposed rules that are published in an NPRM are to be significantly amended as a result of the public submissions, then the CAA will engage in further consultation with the appropriate interested parties before the draft final rule is forwarded to the Ministry. Further consultation after receiving submissions is an exception rather than the norm.

Part 109 Regulated Air Cargo Agent - Certification
Part 109 Regulated
Air Cargo Agent - Certification - Submissions closed 13 Aug 07
This new Rule proposes a certification process for air cargo agents who handle
cargo or mail for carriage on international passenger flights. These regulated
air cargo agents will provide a secure processing path for cargo or mail from
the shipper to the air operator, and provide a means for air operators to accept
cargo or mail for transportation on the understanding that the required security
controls have been applied to the consignment by the regulated air cargo agent.
Additional rules are also being made for air operators to ensure that cargo and
mail carried on international passenger flights are subjected to appropriate
security controls.
Consequential Amendments will be made to Part 1: Definitions and Abbreviations,
Part 12: Accident, Incident and Statistics, Part 19: Transition Rules; and 108:
Air Operator Security Programme.
