Abstract:
The Advisory Circular provides non-binding recommendations on how to use existing requirements as a basis to develop a voluntary Safety Management System (SMS) program. The FAA encourages organizations to develop and implement SMS into their business processes in a way that is scalable to its unique operation, as there is not a one-size-fits-all SMS. With the exception of a one-time submission of an implementation plan, the data are not submitted to the FAA. The Safety Policy, Safety Risk Management, and Safety Assurance processes and training and communications records kept under Safety Promotion will be kept by the organization and used in its SMS. The organization will use the data it collects to identify hazards and instances on “non-compliance” with requirements and standards. In accordance with PRA filing requirements, the following questions/answers for context are provided: 1. Whether responding to the collection is mandatory, voluntary, or required to obtain or retain a benefit. This is a voluntary program; however, to initiate the voluntarily process with the FAA, organizations implementing a voluntary SMS are expected to develop and submit an SMS Implementation Plan to the FAA Office of Hazardous Materials Safety. 2. Describe the entities who must respond (e.g., class 1 railroads, operators of natural gas transmission lines, etc.). Again, this is a voluntary program; however, large organizations subject to requirements codified in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 171-180 but not regulated through Title 14 CFR (e.g., entities performing functions such as, but not limited to, handling or shipping of dangerous goods by air) with a national or global aviation focus that wish to establish a voluntary SMS are expected to respond. 3. Whether the collection is reporting (indicate if a survey), recordkeeping, and/or disclosure. The collection entails a one-time submission to the FAA of the organization’s SMS Implementation Plan. With the exception of a one-time submission of that implementation plan, the data are not submitted to the FAA. The organization maintains its own documents and records; the FAA does not specify how or in what media the organization must do so. 4. Indicate collection frequency (e.g., bi-annual, annual, monthly, weekly, as needed. The organization’s implementation plan is submitted once to FAA for approval. As needed, other information may be requested or submitted as part of ongoing SMS evaluation. 5. Describe the information that would be reported, maintained in records, or disclosed (e.g., information about a hazardous materials incident including location, type of hazardous material, extent of consequences, etc.). As alluded to above, the information is the one-time submission of the organization’s SMS Implementation Plan. With that exception, the data are not submitted to the FAA. The organization maintains its own documents and records in a manner of its choosing. 6. Describe who would receive the information – DOT, first responders, the general public, etc. FAA Office of Hazardous Materials Safety receives the information at 9-ASH-AXH-SMS@faa.gov. 7. Succinctly describe the purpose of the collection. Information received from the collection (i.e., SMS Implementation Plan) will be used to determine consistency with FAA SMS regulations, inclusion of the mandatory SMS components, comprehend the burden on organizations, and better inform FAA’s understanding of the organizations implementing an SMS. 8. If a revision, succinctly describe the revision in the Abstract and in question 15 of the Justification document. This is a new collection, not a revision.
