The management of such activity is provided for in 49 U.S.C. 44702(d). Reporting and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to manage the various approvals issued by the organization. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to document approvals issued and must be maintained in order to address future safety issues which may arise.
