168H: Procedures relating to transport instruments

You could also call this:

“How to make or change rules about transport”

When the Agency, the Director, or the Secretary wants to make, change, or remove a transport instrument, they need to talk to all the people and groups they think should have a say. They need to think about who might be affected by the changes they want to make.

If the Agency, the Director, or the Secretary just want to fix a small mistake in a transport instrument, like a spelling error or a problem with the numbering, they don’t need to ask everyone about it. They can just go ahead and fix it.
