New FAA rule would see Drug and Alcohol Testing of Certificated Repair Station Employees Located Outside of the United States

The proposed rule, or Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), is the official document that announces and explains the agency’s plan to address a problem or accomplish a goal. All proposed rules must be published in the Federal Register to notify the public and to give them an opportunity to submit comments.

During this phase of the rulemaking process, agencies accept public comments via Regulations.gov. Some agencies also accept comments by mail, fax, or email. In a typical case, an agency will allow 60 days for public comment.

Federal agencies are required to consider your comments before making final decisions. Commenting makes better regulations. Your comments make sure that legal requirements, facts, unintended consequences, or errors are not overlooked.

What is Flight Safety?

The Flight Safety Committee serves a three fold purpose:

  1. To participate in the investigation of catastrophic aircraft accidents of all airlines represented by District 142.
  2. To protect members to the fullest in FAA and NTSB hearings.
  3. To monitor air safety in the public

Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP)

https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/asap

The goal of the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) is to enhance aviation safety through the prevention of accidents and incidents. Its focus is to encourage voluntary reporting of safety issues and events that come to the attention of employees of certain certificate holders. To encourage an employee to voluntarily report safety issues even though they may involve an alleged violation of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), enforcement-related incentives have been designed into the program. An ASAP is based on a safety partnership that will include the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the certificate holder, and may include any third party such as the employee’s labor organization. District 142’s Flight Safety Committee works closely with our carriers who participate in the ASAP program.
