COMMENT/RESPONSE DOCUMENT
NPA-1–8

Introduction
NPA 1–8; ‘Further Priority Definitions for JAR–1’ was sent out for consultation under the NPA Scheme between 1 December 1995 and 2 March 1996. Comments were received from those persons and organisations listed in Appendix 1 during consultation to NPA 1–8.
In response to a number of enquiries, the format of this document differs from that used for NPA 1–7, in that the DEFWG has tried to provide more background to each proposal before disposing of the comments. You should note that the material used is derived from that used in the NPA 1–8 itself, and is only included for the convenience of readers who may not have access to the original NPA.
2 Background
The NPA proposed a number of definitions for JAR–1, Definitions & Abbreviations. The NPA was developed by the JAA’s Definitions Working Group (DEFWG). Its Terms of Reference called for the group to work on ensuring a level of consistency in the use of Terms and Definitions within the JAA system.
3 Analysis of NPA Comments
