The following NPRMs listed below are open for submission pursuant to section S. 76 of the Civil Aviation Act 2000 where any person may make submissions.

Consultation process

Public consultation on proposed rules is stipulated in Section 76 of the Civil Aviation Act 2000. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Papua New Guinea (CASA PNG) drafts the civil aviation ordinary rules and carries out public consultation on draft rules on behalf of the Minister for Civil Aviation.

Each NPRM provides deadline for the submission.

How to make a submission?

Electronic submissions sent via email are preferred to assist in compiling for purposes of review, but hardcopy submissions may have sent by post, or delivered in person to the address provided in each NPRM. 

Use of Information Submitted

Persons making submissions on the proposed rules should note that any information attached to submissions will become part of the NPRM docket file and will be available to the public for examination at the CASA PNG Head Office on Morea-Tobo Road, 6 Mile, Port Moresby.

Concerned persons should state clearly if there is any information in their submission that is commercially sensitive, or for some other reason that person does not want the information to be released to other interested parties. CASA PNG will consider this in making decisions in respect of any request. It should be noted however that CASA PNG cannot guarantee confidentiality in respect of any specific submission.
