SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Advisory Circular (AC) 120-121: ``Safety Risk Management Involving
Items in Aircraft Cargo Compartments'' provides guidance in performing
a safety risk assessment, as part of Safety Risk Management (SRM),
associated with the transport of various types of items in the aircraft
cargo compartment and the value of considering the inherent hazardous
properties of these items. This document is intended only to provide
clarity to the public regarding existing requirements under the law or
agency policies. Further details of the AC are available at <a href="https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/1040260">https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/1040260</a>.
A cargo fire safety website provides research driven information to
the public regarding the hazards, operational risks, and mitigation
strategies of the various types of hazardous materials shipped on
aircraft. The website is referenced in Advisory Circular (AC) 120-121.
The website is available at <a href="https://www.fire.tc.faa.gov/cargosafety">https://www.fire.tc.faa.gov/cargosafety</a>.
The website was created to provide research driven information to
the public, mainly shipping operations and aircraft operators, in order
to make informed decisions while transporting hazardous materials.
Aircraft operators that transport hazardous materials may have to
develop safety risk assessments as part of Safety Risk Management (SRM)
and can use the information on the website to make informed decisions.
It is the desire of the FAA to organize the task group in a way
that is most productive and efficient to the various stakeholders
interested in participating and giving feedback on the various elements
of the website. The main areas that FAA is looking to receive comment
and feedback on are: Architecture, Mitigations, Hazards, and
Operational Risks.
Before any edits are made to the website, the task group will
provide data supporting the modifications, and the FAA will review and
accept the data. The task group will be looking for comments to add to
the information available on the website.
Detailed agenda information will be posted on the cargo safety task
group website address listed in the SUMMARY section at least one week
in advance of the meeting.
Attendance at the Upcoming Meetings
Interested persons may attend the meeting. Because seating is
limited, if you plan to attend please register in advance on the FAA
Fire Safety Branch website (<a href="https://www.fire.tc.faa.gov">https://www.fire.tc.faa.gov</a>) so that
adequate meeting space may be made to accommodate attendees.
Record of the Meeting
A meeting summary for the task group meetings will be posted on the
FAA Fire Safety Branch website (<a href="http://www.fire.tc.faa.gov/cargosafety/taskgroup">www.fire.tc.faa.gov/cargosafety/taskgroup</a>) after the conclusion of the meeting.
