Aviation Safety Knowledge Management Environment (ASKME 2) Compliance and Enforcement Actions (CEA)

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aviation Safety Knowledge Management Environment (ASKME 2) Compliance and Enforcement Actions (CEA) is managed by the FAA’s Office of Aviation Safety (AVS) and operates under authorities 14 C.F.R. Part 13 §§ 13.1 – 13.29, 49 U.S.C §§ 40123 (Protection of Voluntarily Submitted Information),  49 U.S.C. §§ 46101 – 46111 (Investigations and Proceedings), and 49 U.S.C. 44701 – 44735 (Safety Regulation). 14 CFR Part 193 covers when and how the FAA protects from disclosure safety and security information submitted voluntarily to the FAA. The AVS is the organization within the FAA that is responsible for the certification, production approval, and continued airworthiness of aircraft; and certification of pilots, mechanics, and others in aviation safety-related positions. The Aircraft Certification Service (AIR) is a department within the FAA AVS develops and administers safety standards for aircraft and related products. AIR personnel use ASKME 2 CEA to initiate and process investigations into instances of regulatory non-compliance and voluntary disclosure reports submitted by Regulated Entities (REs). REs are defined as FAA certificate holders that AIR oversees, such as type certificates and production certificates, etc. AIR personnel track and process compliance and enforcement actions in the ASKME 2 CEA application, based on the information collected through oversight or RE voluntary disclosure reports. The FAA is publishing this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the ASKME 2 CEA in accordance with Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 because the application processes Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from REs that may be members of the public. ASKME 2 CEA processes PII from both companies and individuals, which may include data such as names, addresses, and other contact information.
