The FAA has a process for changing rules. One step in that process is publishing a "Notice of Proposed RuleMaking" (NPRM). There is a comment / question & answer period before any change is made.

Rulemaking
Unfortunately some of this process may very well be bypassed when Congress steps in and forces the rules to be changed via laws being passed.
