SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
Section 107 of the Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act of 2020 (the Act) addresses, in part, preventing interference with Unit Members (UMs) of companies that hold Organization Designation Authorization (ODA), and allowing communication between ODA UMs and the FAA. The FAA seeks comments on a draft statement that responds to Section 107 requirements by providing procedures for ODA holder investigation and prevention of interference, for FAA oversight of ODAs, and for communication between ODA UMs and the FAA. The Notice supplements FAA Order 8100.15B, Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) Procedures (available at http://drs.faa.gov ) and may be examined at https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft_ docs/.
Comments Invited

Commenters should include the subject line, "Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) Holder Interference with ODA Unit Members (UMs) and Communication between UMs and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)" on all comments submitted to the FAA. The most helpful comments reference a specific recommendation, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting information. The FAA will consider all comments received on or before the closing date before issuing the final Notice. The FAA will also consider late filed comments if it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay.
