The
Office of the Regional Counsel, AGL-7, provides legal advice to each
of the lines of business in a wide variety of areas. The Legal
Division works with the Flight Standards and Security Divisions,
initiates legal enforcement actions against pilots, mechanics, air
carriers, and airports who commit violations of the Federal Aviation
Regulations, and litigates the cases which are appealed to the
National Transportation Safety Board or the Department of
Transportation.
The
Legal Division provides legal advice to all divisions regarding
personnel actions, and represents the agency in proceedings before
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Merit Systems
Protection Board.
The
Office of the Regional Counsel has very significant responsibilities
regarding environmental law/airports & procurement/contracting,
where it reviews agency actions and gives advice on a broad range of
issues. These areas may also result in litigation which involves
attorneys from this office.
The
Legal Division reviews responses to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
requests and provides advice on both FOIA and the Privacy Act. The
Office of the Regional Counsel also provides legal advice on
questions dealing with ethics and conflicts of interest. The
Regional Counsel is responsible for reviewing the confidential
financial disclosure statements, and serves as the Designated Ethics
Counselor for the Region.
