Under the FA Act, the FAA is responsible for promulgating and enforcing adequate standards and regulation.

• A. procedures and guidelines
• B. standards and regulations
• C. policies and regulations
• D. laws and enforcement

Answer: (B)

The question tests understanding that the FAA’s authority is to issue binding safety requirements and the rules that enforce them. Promulgating means formally issuing rules, and enforcing means ensuring those rules are followed. The pair “standards and regulations” fits this purpose exactly: standards set the safety benchmarks, while regulations lay out the binding rules to achieve and enforce those benchmarks. Procedures and guidelines are generally non-binding guidance, not enforceable rules; policies and regulations shifts the first term into policies, which isn’t the standard phrasing; laws and enforcement would imply creating laws themselves, which are enacted by the legislature, not the FAA.
