Privacy - FAA - NFDC - PIA - 2025.pdf

49 U.S.C. § 329(b) requires the Secretary of Transportation to collect and collate transportation information to improve the transportation system of the United States. To fulfill the requirement to collect and make available aeronautical information, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) developed the National Flight Data Center (NFDC) as the central repository within the FAA responsible for the collection, validation, and quality control of aeronautical information disseminated to support National Airspace System (NAS) operations. The FAA is publishing this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) in accordance with Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 because NFDC collects and maintains Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from members of the public who register for NFDC access, including name, email address, phone number, login information, and business-related information. 

DOT is committed to ensuring that information is available in appropriate alternative formats to meet the requirements of persons who have a disability. If you require an alternative version of files provided on this page, please contact Privacy@dot.gov.
