Protection of Voluntarily Submitted Information

It is mandatory that an air carrier or other person report information to this collection in order to have an information program designated as protected under Section 40123. Air carriers or other persons submit an application for an individual program on occasion of requesting protection of information. The FAA evaluates the application and either publishes a designation based on the application for public comment or denies the application. After comments are received, the FAA reviews them and evaluates whether the elements in § 193.5 114, have been met. An Order designating the information protected is published in the Federal register. The order includes summaries of why the Administrator finds that the elements are met. By publishing the Order in the Federal Register, all interested persons are able to see that they can provide information under the program and receive the protection described in Section 40123 and part 193.
