        <RULE_TITLE>Safety Management Systems (SMS) </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would have required a Safety Management System (SMS) for FAA certificate holders, certain product manufacturers, applicants, and employers.  However, the advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) proposed a broader rule than the FAA is now developing. The FAA is now withdrawing the ANPRM.  In place of the ANPRM, the FAA is developing a final rule per Public Law 111-216, section 215 to "require all part 121 air carriers to implement a safety management system."  Following this Congressionally mandated rulemaking, the FAA is considering additional SMS rulemaking for commuter and on-demand operations, manufacturers, and repair stations.  All SMS rulemakings are intended to further enhance the practice of managing safety, conducting risk and system assessments and analysis, undertaking preventive and corrective actions, and creating a safety culture.  While the current SMS rulemaking initiatives are narrower than the ANPRM, FAA intends SMS rules across segments of the industry to be consistent.]]></ABSTRACT>
