Final answer:
The statement is true; the FAA, like many federal agencies, must request public comments on proposed regulations through the 'notice and comment' rulemaking process.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that before issuing a new regulation, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must always request comments from the public about the proposed regulation is True.
This process is known as "notice and comment" rulemaking, which is a common practice for many federal agencies, not just the FAA. Agencies must provide notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register to inform the public and to allow for feedback.
Though this process is not without its criticisms, as it can sometimes create adversarial environments or become inefficient and litigious, it serves as a means for public participation in the rulemaking process.
