5.5 Requirements Production
Requirements production includes the authorisation and drafting of requirements, internal review processes, consultation and publication. The consultation process is briefly outlined in the following section. As part of the requirements drafting process, the requirements author may draw on any appropriate additional expertise both from within the CAA SRG and externally.
5.6 Requirements Consultation
A procedure has been established for the Formal Consultation process and the management of ad hoc comments for CAP 670 in accordance with Group and Divisional Procedures and the SRG Code of Practice. With the exception of editorial changes and requirements or guidance material which need urgent promulgation, all other material is subject to the Formal Consultation process. Ad hoc comments and those received during the Formal Consultation process will be considered by the authors of the requirements and responses prepared as necessary. Where appropriate, changes will be incorporated into an amendment to CAP 670.
This consultation process does not apply to EU Regulations that become law directly and automatically, once published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) and which are not Directives. Such EU Regulations are subject to EU level consultation processes.
5.6.1 Formal Consultation
The Air Traffic Standards Division (ATSD) of the CAA's Safety Regulation Group invites comments on proposals that may have an impact on the provision of air traffic services in the UK, or on the organisations that provide those services. Once the necessary stages of the CAA internal development and production process have been completed, the consultative material is published on the CAA website to allow consideration by a notified date that marks the end of the consultation period. This Formal Consultation process enables comments on proposed changes to be made by individuals and industry prior to the effective date of the changes. Any documents currently under review as part of the Formal Consultation process may be accessed by following the link to the CAA website: www.caa.co.uk/consultations.
As far as possible, the CAA will alert industry to EU level consultation processes. This could be via CAA Information Notices.
5.6.2 Consultation List for pre-publication (draft) documents
A consultation list of individuals who have expressed an interest in offering comments on material proposed for publication is maintained by ATSD. When consultative material is made available on the CAA website, addressees on the consultation list who have indicated an interest in the subject matter are notified. Requests to join the CAP 670 consultation list may be made by e-mailing ats.documents@caa.co.uk or by writing to ATSD at the address given on page 1 of the Directory.
5.6.3 Ad hoc Comments
Ad hoc comments on the material in this or other regulatory requirements that relate to the provision of air traffic services may be submitted at any time by e-mail to the editor at ats.documents@caa.co.uk or by post.
5.7 Publication of Requirements and Guidance Material
5.7.1 At the end of the consultation process, requirements and guidance material, incorporating any changes that are considered appropriate following the consultation period, are published in CAP 670 as an amendment to the publication. CAP 670 is published in electronic (pdf) format and may be downloaded from the CAA website at www.caa.co.uk/cap670. A printed version may be purchased from the CAA's printers, if required; contact details can be found on the inside cover to this document.
5.7.2 In certain circumstances an amendment to CAP 670 may be issued as a CAP 670 Supplementary Amendment (SA). SAs are available on the CAA website at www.caa.co.uk/publications, through the amendment notification service or by e-mailing ats.documents@caa.co.uk.
5.7.3 Amendments should be incorporated into CAP 670 on receipt, in accordance with any Amendment Instructions, and an entry made in the Amendment Record Page as confirmation that the publication has been updated. The effective date of the amendment should be taken to be the date of publication unless a different date is prescribed. If so, this will be indicated clearly. An example of where this might happen would be publication of requirements in advance of their taking effect in order to allow ATS Providers time to introduce appropriate arrangements.
