Purpose of This Notice.

This notice contains information that supplements current Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) and Voluntary Disclosure Reporting Program (VDRP) policy found within Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 8900.1, Flight Standards Information Management System (FSIMS), 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. The supplementary information addresses the change in Compliance Philosophy calling for the removal of Administrative Action as a required outcome for accepted voluntary disclosures under the VDRP, and eliminates Administrative Action and the Enforcement Decision Process (EDP) tool from application to accepted reports within ASAP and from the current edition of FAA Order 2150.3, FAA Compliance and Enforcement Program.
