FAA Notice N8900_671 Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP), Voluntary Disclosure Reporting Program (VDRP), and Compliance Program

This notice supplements current policy relating to the Aviation
Safety Action Program (ASAP) and the Voluntary Disclosure Reporting Program (VDRP). The
changes are to policy contained in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 8900.1,
Volume 11, Chapter 1, Section 1, Voluntary Disclosure Reporting Program for Air Carriers and
Regulated Entities; and Volume 11, Chapter 2, Section 1, Safety Assurance System: Aviation
Safety Action Program. These changes primarily address the impact and application of the
Compliance Program, calling for the removal of Administrative Action as a required outcome for
accepted voluntary disclosures under the VDRP, and eliminate Administrative Action and the
Enforcement Decision Process (EDP) tool from application to accepted reports within the ASAP
and from the current edition of FAA Order 2150.3, FAA Compliance and Enforcement Program.
