The collection involves Regulated Entity
(RE) users that create and submit
Compliance and Enforcement Action
(CE) activity and Voluntary Disclosure
Report (VDR) submittals to the FAA.
The FAA enters and processes this
activity and submittals using the
Aviation Safety Knowledge
Management Environment Compliance
and Enforcement Actions (ASKME CEA)
application. The information to be
collected will be used to support
processing CE and VDR processing for
ASKME CEA application users andis
necessary because it automates the
process by which REs may disclose to
the FAA potential occurrence of
noncompliance to requirements.

OMB Control Number: 2120–XXXX.
Title: Compliance and Enforcement
Actions (CEA), Voluntary Disclosure
Report (VDR).
Form Numbers: There is no standard
form to use for CEA and VDR
submissions.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Background: The CEA system
supports ASKME users. ASKME users
are AIR employees who perform
oversight activities of design and
manufacturing regulated entities,
including production approval holders,
design approval holders, and
organizational designation authorization
holders. REs such as manufacturers,
delegated organizations (Organization
Designation Authorization) and design
holders regulated by the FAA will
communicate and exchange information
with the FAA. The ASKME CEA is an
internal web-based application and
provides an more efficient process for
CE and VDR activity received from
manufacturers, delegated organizations
and design holders.
Compliance and Enforcement Actions
(CEA)
Title 49 United States Code, Subtitle
VII—Aviation Programs encourages the
development of civil aeronautics, and
promotes safety in air commerce.
Sections 44709, 44711 and 44736 allow
the Department of Transportation or the
Administrator of the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) to re-inspect and
perform oversight activities for civil
aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller,
appliance, design organization,
production certificate holder, and
Organization Designation
Authorizations. An Organization
Designation Authorization or ‘‘ODA’’ is
an authorization by the FAA under
section 44702(d) for an organization
composed of 1 or more ODA units to
perform approved functions on behalf of
the FAA. See 49 U.S.C. 44736.
Section 44709 allows the FAA to reinspect at any time a civil aircraft,
aircraft engine, propeller, appliance,
design organization, production
certificate holder, air navigation facility,
or air agency, or reexamine an airman
holding a certificate issued under 49
U.S.C. 44703.
Section 44711 prohibitions a person
from violating a term of an air agency,
design organization certificate, or
production certificate or a regulation
prescribed or order issued under section
PO 00000

44701(a) or (b) or any of sections 44702–
44716 related to the holder of the
certificate;
Under section 44736, when
overseeing an ODA holder, the
Administrator of the FAA shall conduct
regular oversight activities by inspecting
the ODA holder’s delegated functions
and taking action based on validated
inspection findings.
When the FAA officials perform
Section 44709 re-inspection or oversight
activities and discovers violations, they
process them using FAA Orders
8000.373B, Federal Aviation
Administration Compliance Program,
2150.3C, FAA Compliance and
Enforcement Program and AIR–002–035
Aircraft Certification Service (AIR)
Compliance and Enforcement Process.
Voluntary Disclosure Report (VDR)
Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations,
part 193 of the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations
provides that certain information
submitted to the FAA on a voluntary
basis is not to be disclosed. This part
implements statutory provision 49
U.S.C. 40123. The purpose of part 193
is to encourage the aviation community
to voluntarily share information with
the FAA so that the agency may work
cooperatively with industry to identify
modifications to rules, policies, and
procedures needed to improve safety,
security, and efficiency of the National
Airspace System. The information
collection associated with part 193 also
supports the Department of
Transportation’s Strategic Goal of Safety
and Security.
To encourage people to voluntarily
submit desired information, § 40123 was
added to Title 49, United States Code,
in the Federal Aviation Reauthorization
Act of 1996. Section 40123 allows the
Administrator, through FAA
regulations, to protect from disclosure
voluntarily provided information
relating to safety and security issues.
The White House Commission on
Aviation Safety and Security issued a
recommendation i on this subject. In
Recommendation 1.8, the Commission
noted that the most effective way to
identify problems is for the people who
operate the system to self-disclose the
information, but that people will not
provide information to the FAA unless
it can be protected.
FAA programs that are covered under
Part 193 are the Voluntary Safety
Reporting Programs (FAA Order
7200.20), Air Traffic and Technical
Operations Safety Action Programs
(FAA Order 7200.22), Flight Operational

actions as defined by FAA Order
2150.3C, Compliance and Enforcement
Program. These actions are Voluntary
Disclosure Reports, Compliance Actions
and Enforcement Actions.
Respondents: Respondents are
aviation design and manufacturing
regulated entities, including production
approval holders, design approval
holders, and organization designation
authorization holders. Responding to
the collection of data is voluntary and

ASKME CEA application. FAA staff of
AIR including Aviation Safety
Inspectors (ASIs), Aviation Safety
Engineers (ASEs), their supervisors and
managers, and Organization Designation
Authorization (ODA) Organization
Management Team (OMT) members
receive information submitted by the
regulated entities.
Frequency: As needed.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: These reports require an
average of 17 hour each to prepare.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
total estimated burden hours based on
the average Compliance and
Enforcement/VDR closed cases activity
from the CEA & Boeing Aviation Safety
Oversight Office (BASSO) databases
annually is 6048.
