Case and Document Management System (CDMS)

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of the Chief Counsel (AGC) provides legal services to the FAA. These services include offering legal advice, reviewing agency actions for compliance with legal requirements, representing the FAA in a variety of legal matters, and conducting administrative adjudications in-house. Specifically, AGC70 and AGC 600 conduct in-house administrative adjudications under 14 CFR parts 13, 14, 16, and 17. To effectively manage legal matters, AGC uses the Case and Document Management System (CDMS), which captures and tracks all activities and documents related to AGC legal matters. The FAA is publishing this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the CDMS in accordance with Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002. This assessment is necessary because the system processes Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from members of the public which includes, but is not limited to, pilots, air passengers, law firm attorneys, parties involved in legal matters, including mediation processes, designated United States (U.S.) agents for airmen with foreign addresses, and requesters of information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) related to FAA legal matters.
