Additional information: The Privacy Act statement has been amended to clarify that an applicant’s failure to provide his or her Social Security number may result in the denial of an application, consistent with Section 32101 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (Pub. L. 114–94) which authorizes the Department to deny U.S. passport applications when VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:56 Mar 10, 2016 Jkt 238001 the applicant failed to include his or her Social Security number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 15, 2004, the Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft 
Certification Service, issued Policy Statement Number ANM-03-117-09, 
Policy Statement on Guidance for Determination of System, Hardware, and 
Software Development Assurance Levels on Transport Category Airplanes. 
This policy statement standardized the methodology for assigning 
development assurance levels (DAL) to systems, software, and complex 
electronic hardware.
    In December 2010, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) issued 
the document, Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) 4754A, Guidelines 
for Development of Civil Aircraft and Systems, as an acceptable method 
for establishing a development assurance process. This document 
contains an updated methodology for DAL assignment. In developing ARP 
4754A, SAE considered the subject policy statement, with inputs and 
guidance from the FAA. In September 2011, the FAA issued AC 20-174, 
Development of Civil Aircraft and Systems, to formally recognize ARP 
4754A and the DAL assignment methodology contained therein. The 
Transport Airplane Directorate determined that AC 20-174 and ARP 4754A 
provide an acceptable DAL assignment methodology for part 25 airplanes. 
To ensure correct understanding of the Transport Airplane Directorate's 
current policy for DAL assignments, the FAA is cancelling the subject 
policy, in favor of AC 20-174.

Cancellation of Policy Statement

    As a result of the issuance of AC 20-174, Policy Statement Number 
ANM-03-117-09 is no longer in effect and is herewith cancelled.
