External Web Portal (EWP)

Privacy - FAA - ASH EWP - PIA - 2024.pdf

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of the Assistant Administrator for Security and Hazardous Materials (ASH) External Web Portal (EWP) is used as a pass-through portal that facilitates multiple ASH business processes for individuals that do not have a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card and need various FAA services. EWP is also used to transfer the data to internal FAA systems and databases. EWP operates under 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) chapter 449, Security Transportation Safety Act of 1974; the FAA Drug Enforcement Assistance Act of 1988; Executive Order (E.O.) 10450, Security requirements for Government employment; and E.O. 12968, Access to Classified Information. 
This is an update to the previously published EWP Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to reflect changes made to the system since its original publication. The FAA is publishing this PIA for the EWP pursuant to Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 because EWP collects and processes Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from members of the public (potential FAA contractors, airman certificate holders, military personnel, federal/state agency employees, and those that do not have a PIV card).
