Supplementary Information

Background The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, Public Law 118-63 (2024) (the Act), amended Title 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) 44736 by imposing several provisions specific to the FAA's oversight of ODA holders. Section 304 of the Act added paragraph (g), Ethics Training Requirement for ODA Holders, to 49 U.S.C. 44736. Paragraph (g) requires the FAA to ensure that each ODA holder has in effect a recurrent training program, reviewed by the FAA, for all ODA unit personnel. Paragraph (g) also requires all ODA unit personnel to complete such ethics training within sixty days of appointment and annually thereafter and requires the FAA to establish the necessary processes to ensure that this training occurs. Draft Notice N 8100.20 would implement the new statutory requirement for ODA holders to develop and provide, and for all ODA unit personnel to take, initial and recurrent ethics training. The FAA intends that the policies contained in draft Notice N 8100.20 will be incorporated into a future revision of FAA Order 8100.15, Organization Designation Authorization Procedures. Draft Notice N 8100.20 would affect all ODA holders. You may examine draft Notice N 8100.20 and an optional comment log template that may be helpful for providing comments in the docket or at: https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft_docs/.
