Perhaps, but how many NPRM's have been taken in to consideration prior to
establishing the new rule (law)

over the last three years, let alone the last decade?

 

To me, at least, it appears that the NPRM's are just an exercise of
requirement.  The rule has already been decided,

now it's just going through the hoops of establishing it as law.  ie, NPRM
comment period, publishing in the Federal Register.

Do we know which legislators are on key committees that deal with these
regulations?  I deal with healthcare regulations and we often need to
mobilize providers to oppose unnecessary or harmful regulations.
Identifying the individuals most closely associated with the issue and
flooding them with correspondence is a necessary step.

 

Even though the regulatory agency has certain authority, getting to key
legislators early can have an influence.

 

Is the regulatory agency makes the change it's usually too late, or at a
minimum, the fix becomes a much more expensive and costly process possibly
involving legal action which often is simply too expensive to pursue.

 

If we have specific individuals we should write letters.

 

How is Tripoli and NAR participating in this?

Dear AeroTech Product Representative: 

Urgent Notice - Your Immediate Action Is Needed, Send Your E-Mail By October

10, Help preserve your rights regarding model rocketry. 

Dear AeroTech Customer, 

Many people are concerned with new government regulations that seem destined

to limit our freedoms as well as those that affect our hobbies. You may have

heard of some recently that affect various hobbies. 
New regulations are being considered regarding model rocket motors. 
This may not immediately impact your access to model rocket materials but 
it's just another step toward more restrictive regulations concerning our 
hobby and deserves your attention. 
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has recently advised that they 
propose to terminate a special permit under which model rocket motors and 
igniters have been shipped for the last 33 years.  If the permit is 
terminated model rocket motors and igniters will no longer be able to be 
shipped as "Flammable Solids" and will instead have to be shipped as 
"Explosives." 
In 33 years there have been no incidents involved in the shipping and 
transporting of model rocket motors and igniters. 
The model rocket industry needs your support in order to continue to make 
our product available. Attached is a sample e-mail that we request you send 
immediately to express your support. 
We believe that shipping model rocket motors and igniters as "Explosives" 
would only cause unnecessary concern for hobby shops, educators, youth group

leaders and families using model rockets for educational and recreational 
purposes. 
If you believe as we do, please send an e-mail to the Department of 
Transportation no later than October 10, 2011. To assist you, here is a
sample e-mail: 
-- 
TO:  <mailto:specialpermits@xxxxxxx> specialpermits@xxxxxxx 
Subject: DOT-SP 7887 Show Cause Response 
Dear Associate Administrator, 
The purpose of this e-mail is to request that DOT-SP 7887 be kept in force 
as written. The Special Permit, previously DOT-E 7887 has been in place 
since 1978 and is used by many of us who enjoy hobbies including model 
rockets, motors and igniters. 
To my knowledge, there has never been an incident involving the shipping and

transporting of model rocket motors and igniters. Further I believe that 
shipping these products as "Explosives" will create unnecessary fear and 
difficulty for those handling, transporting, receiving, storing, selling and

using these products. 
After 33 years of use, the termination of the Special Permit is unwarranted 
and possibly damaging to an educational and recreational product that has an

excellent record. In closing, I again request the Special Permit be kept in 
place as written. 
- Your Name and Address 
-- 
Please take a few minutes to send your e-mail today! 
Thank you very much for your support of model rocketry.
