Abstract:
Advisory Circular (AC) 120-119, Voluntary Safety Management System for Other Regulated Entities Transporting Dangerous Goods by Air, provides information on how entities subject to Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 171-180 may voluntarily implement a Safety Management System (SMS) as described in 14 CFR Part 5, Safety Management Systems. These entities perform functions such as handling or shipping dangerous goods by air and are referred to as Other Regulated Entities (ORE). As outlined in AC 120-119, large OREs can use the SMS principles in 14 CFR Part 5 as a basis to develop a voluntary SMS program, including an SMS Implementation Plan, which is submitted to the FAA’s Office of Hazardous Materials Safety (AXH) for review and acceptance. Then, the ORE implements its SMS program and maintains records to document processes, identify hazards, and document non-compliance. This collection covers the burden of developing the implementation plan and continued monitoring of the voluntary SMS program. Changes in this renewal include: • Adjustment (added an IC) to better distinguish between initial submission and continuing recordkeeping burden; • Adjustment in respondent estimates (decrease) based on current data; and • Adjustment in annual burden estimates for initial submission (decrease) based on subject matter expertise.

Short Statement:
As this is the first renewal of this collection, the FAA has adjusted the estimates based on the first few years of AC 120-119 implementation. The FAA has separated the collection into two ICs to better distinguish between the number of respondents and the burden of initial submission and continuing recordkeeping. The FAA has also adjusted the estimated respondents to differentiate between each IC and the differing burden for initial and continuing respondents. Additionally, the FAA estimates that the reporting burden for initial submission is smaller than initially estimated, reducing the burden accordingly.

$160,341
