SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, Public Law 118-63 (2024) (the 
Act), amended Title 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) 44736 by imposing 
several provisions specific to the FAA's oversight of ODA holders. 
Section 304 of the Act added paragraph (g), Ethics Training Requirement 
for ODA Holders, to 49 U.S.C. 44736. Paragraph (g) requires the FAA to 
ensure that each ODA holder has in effect a recurrent training program, 
reviewed by the FAA, for all ODA unit personnel. Paragraph (g) also 
requires all ODA unit personnel to complete such ethics training within 
sixty days of appointment and annually thereafter and requires the FAA 
to establish the necessary processes to ensure that this training 
occurs. Draft Notice N 8100.20 would implement the new statutory 
requirement for ODA holders to develop and provide, and for all ODA 
unit personnel to take, initial and recurrent ethics training. The FAA 
intends that the policies contained in draft Notice N 8100.20 will be 
incorporated into a future revision of FAA Order 8100.15, Organization 
Designation Authorization Procedures.
    Draft Notice N 8100.20 would affect all ODA holders. You may 
examine draft Notice N 8100.20 and an optional comment log template 
that may be helpful for providing comments in the docket or at: <a href="https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft_docs/">https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft_docs/</a>.
