Action
Request for comments on proposed changes to the IASA Program.
Summary
On September 28, 2022, the FAA published a Policy Statement in the Federal Register that described policy changes to the FAA's International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) program as well as clarification or restatement of prior policy to "enhance engagement with civil aviation authorities (CAAs) through pre- and post-IASA assessment and to promote greater transparency." After receiving inquiries and questions about the changes described in that policy statement, the FAA is, elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, suspending implementation of the September 28, 2022, Policy Statement while the agency reassesses the policy, and invites public comments on proposed changes to the FAA IASA program policy contained herein. The policy statement of March 8, 2013, remains active.
