...and its member countries or of the beneficiary countries participating in the Sigma Programme. ALBANIA GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE LAW FRAMEWORK ASSESSMENT MAY 2008 Preface This report updates the assessment report prepared by SIGMA on the same topic in June 2006. We use the notion of general administrative law to denote those parts of administrative law that are applicable – fully or partially, primarily or supplementarily – to all administrative settings, public bodies, administrative activities and administrative relationships. In other words, general administrative law would be the part of administrative law that is not only applicable across the whole administration, but also contains principles and norms that give rise to special regulations or specific organisational functioning. Administrative law is the refined product of the pursuit in the course of history of the liberal goal to submit public powers to the law by ensuring that any action of the state is subject to the law or ruled by law. Modern democratic states derive their administrative law from their constitutions. The study of administrative law in a country cannot be dissociated from that of constitutional law. The general legal framework for the administration is nevertheless comprised, first and foremost, of administrative law. A first approximation of the definition of administrative law is that it is a part of national public law (in EU Member States it is also now a part of the supranational...

...existing regulation, they issue a document known as a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), Federal law requires virtually all administrative agencies and departments of the government to conduct their rulemaking operations in this manner. The law requires that once the NPRM has been issued there must be a period of time for comment and consideration of the new proposed regulation. After the comment period closes the FAA considers the comments from the public and those affected by the new regulation. Often times, comments from the industry and public have influenced the FAA to either change or abolish the propsed regulation all together. When the process has run its course, the FAA issue’s a Final Notice of Rule Making. This notice will set forth the final rule as it will be adopted and an effective date for it to take effect. Under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 14-Aeronautics&Space, Part 13 Investigative and Enforcement Procedures, Subpart B-Administrative actions, the FAA may administer a “Warning Notice” which deals with the available facts and information about the incident or condition and shows that it may have been a violation. The FAA may also give a “Letter of Correction” that acknowledges the FAA decision in the matter and states a necessary corrective action the violator has taken or agrees to take.

...A regulatory agency (also regulatory authority, regulatory body or regulator) is a public authority or government agency responsible for exercising autonomous authority over some area of human activity in a regulatory or supervisory capacity. An independent regulatory agency is a regulatory agency that is independent from other branches or arms of the government. Regulatory agencies deal in the area of administrative law—regulation or rulemaking (codifying and enforcing rules and regulations and imposing supervision or oversight for the benefit of the public at large). The existence of independent regulatory agencies is justified by the complexity of certain regulatory and supervisory tasks that require expertise, the need for rapid implementation of public authority in certain sectors, and the drawbacks of political interference. Some independent regulatory agencies perform investigations or audits, and some are authorized to fine the relevant parties and order certain measures. Regulatory agencies are usually a part of the executive branch of the government, or they have statutory authority to perform their functions with oversight from the legislative branch. Their actions are generally open to legal review. Regulatory authorities are commonly set up to enforce standards and safety, or to oversee use of public goods and regulate commerce. Examples of regulatory agencies are the Interstate Commerce Commission and U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the United States,...
